Research direction

Start by tracing how native XMPP rooms are created and how their room address and descriptive name are passed into the Matrix room setup. Confirm that the Matrix-side room name uses the XMPP room name rather than the room address, and add or update coverage for this behavior if the relevant test location is found.
