Research direction
Start in apps/mobile by reproducing the issue on iOS: open a thread started on the desktop app and attempt to load its previous messages. Trace the loading path and use the available connection details and screenshot as context; done means existing thread messages load instead of showing "Loading messages..." indefinitely.
