Description

This trait is only implemented by Room, so we should consider putting a Room inside PinnedEventsLoader, which ought to lead to some other nice simplifications.

Research direction

Start by locating the PinnedEventsRoom trait, its Room implementation, and PinnedEventsLoader, then trace how the loader is constructed and used. Determine the smallest design that removes the trait while preserving pinned-event loading, and verify the existing Rust checks pass without regressions.
