This is a well-known issue, presumably blocked on matrix-org/matrix-doc#597 ([SPEC-300](https://matrix.org/jira/browse/SPEC-300)), but we didn't seem to have a tracking bug for it
(Imported from https://matrix.org/jira/browse/SYN-715)
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by reading the linked matrix-org/matrix-doc#597 and its SPEC-300 reference, since the issue says the work is blocked on that specification. Then determine the agreed federation requirements for peeking into rooms; done means room peeking works across federation and matches the specification.
