Research direction

Start at the `collapse_state_maps` entry point and trace where the "Missing {}" panic is produced. Inspect how the related room and state events are represented, then determine the expected handling when a room no longer exists. Done means the failure provides enough context to identify the room and the issue's handling question has an explicit, tested outcome.
