Description

Arisen a result of wanting to hide the SMS account room from the UI because there's no useful way for the user to interact with it. Rooms that only contain custom events and no messages should be hidden by regular messaging clients which don't understand the protocol being spoken on them.

Research direction

No file, test, or entry point is identified in the issue. Begin with the SPEC-111 requirement and determine the protocol-level change needed to mark rooms containing only custom events; done means the behavior is specified clearly enough for regular clients to hide such rooms.
