Research direction

Start with the migrated Element Web issue linked in the body, then trace the Matrix room-forgetting and client-sync specification areas relevant to the report. Done means an agreed protocol-level mechanism is specified for notifying clients when a forgotten room is unavailable; the payload names no files or tests.
