Description

In implementation for https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals/blob/matthew/msc1763/proposals/1763-configurable-retention-periods.md, I intend to break this up into at least two PRs:

1. endpoint retrieval and event/state handling
2. execution of removing expired messages per retention policy

This issue is just for tracking the bigger task, re @stefanceriu's suggestion.

Research direction

Start by reading the linked MSC1763 configurable retention periods proposal. Break the investigation into the two areas named in the issue: endpoint retrieval and event/state handling, followed by removing expired messages according to the retention policy. The task is done when both implementation areas have been completed as separate PRs.
