Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by reproducing the flow in the web app: open a room, select a member, and choose “Direct chat.” Trace how that action finds or creates a direct chat, then verify that completion reuses the existing conversation rather than creating another one; compare the behavior with the Android app if useful.
