Description

https://matrix.org/docs/spec/client_server/r0.6.1#m-rule-call says that .m.rule.call is an underride rule, but that means that no notification will be sent in rooms configured for "mentions only".

it looks like this got fixed in https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/commit/118c883429d1564f63ab37424a8e0bc602c10709, but accidentally (?) backed out in https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/commit/ed83638668#diff-1c917f5a04539df1f69cb8e77054b016R184.

Research direction

Start with the Matrix client-server specification section for .m.rule.call and compare it with the referenced Synapse commits, especially the rule change and its subsequent reversal. Confirm whether the specification's underride classification matches the intended notification behavior; done means the specification accurately documents the agreed rule classification.
