Description
the permalink loads the right place in the timeline, but then as the surrounding messages slowly decrypt, it can be pushed off the top of the page
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by reproducing an e2ee history permalink and observing the timeline while surrounding messages decrypt incrementally. Trace the permalink and timeline-loading entry points, then verify that the linked message remains visible after decryption completes.
