Description
> undoing an edit (because it was a local echo that's been cancelled, or it's been redacted) is likely an edge case, and something we're fine supporting in the short term.

Research direction
The issue names timeline edit handling but provides no files, tests, or entry points. Start by locating how the timeline represents edited events, then investigate the two stated cases: cancelled local echoes and redacted edits. Done should mean an edit can be undone consistently in both cases, with coverage for the resulting timeline behavior.
