Research direction
Reproduce the encrypted-room scenario described in the issue, including changing the display name before joining, then inspect the event-rendering path responsible for the displayed membership message. Done means the event is rendered correctly as the display-name change rather than as “x joined the room”; no specific file or test is named in the issue.
