Description
Currently, the typing indicator is shown when a user types, regardless if it's in a room or a thread of that room.
Make the typing indicator thread dependent so a thread has a typing indicator if a user is writing a message in the thread, but not the room

Research direction
Start by tracing the JavaScript frontend code that sends and displays typing indicators, comparing room messages with thread messages. Verify the behavior in both contexts: typing in a thread should show an indicator only in that thread, while typing in the room should not show one in a thread.
