Description

What issue are you seeing?

I have noticed since yesterday 27/08/26 that in the desktop application some of the messages I have sent have disappeared, totally gone, but not only mine but the answers too, so I would like if somebody can have a look into it, thanks

What steps can reproduce the bug?

I don't know, it doesn't happen every time

What is the expected behavior?

well, to not remove any messages of course

Additional information

it has happened twice in different chats of a branch

Research direction

No file, test, or entry point is identified in the report. Start by investigating the desktop application's message persistence and try to reproduce the disappearance across the two affected chat contexts. Done means sent messages and replies remain available reliably, with a regression test covering the failure once its trigger is known.
