Research direction
No file, test, or implementation entry point is named. Start by reviewing the existing Olm and MLS approaches alongside OTR-style payload tunnelling and Matrix/XMPP bridging constraints. Done would require an agreed protocol design and specification scope, which this issue does not yet define.
