Description
Direct messages should have an indicator if they were already read, so we can properly show a count of unread messages in the navigation sidebar.

Research direction
Start by tracing how direct messages record whether they have been read and how the navigation sidebar obtains message counts. Confirm the existing direct-message and sidebar entry points before changing anything. Done means the sidebar shows an accurate unread count and distinguishes messages that have already been read.
