Description

Research direction

Start by reviewing the existing Matrix specification sections covering devices and server behavior; no specific file, test, or entry point is named in the issue. Clarify whether expiration is controlled by the server or configurable by users, define the meaning of “stale,” and document the agreed behavior in the specification.
