Description

SDK version of https://github.com/element-hq/element-x-ios/issues/4042

> Currently seems bad on matrix.org when receipts can take minutes to process.

Research direction

Start by reading the linked Element X issue and the SDK's existing room-read and receipt handling. Determine how local marking should behave while server receipts are delayed; done means rooms appear read without waiting for receipts to arrive from sync.
