Description

This basically means shoving newlined messages into paragraphs. Figma doesn't do markdown so we can't simply cheat and use a markdown parser.

Research direction

Start by locating the Figma message handling entry point in the bridge and inspect how message text is currently converted. Verify how newline-containing messages should become separate paragraphs without using a Markdown parser; done means those messages preserve paragraph breaks in Matrix.
