Bug description
When bulk deleting messages in the Notes to Self chat (selecting multiple messages and pressing delete), the "Delete for everyone" option is present.
Steps to reproduce
In Notes to Self chat:
- Long press a recent message and press Select
- Select more recent messages, at least 2
- Press the delete icon on the bottom left
Actual result: Two options show up: "Delete for Me" and "Delete for Everyone"
Expected result: In Notes to Self, "Delete for Everyone" shouldn't be here.
Signal version: 7.57.1 (762)

Research direction
Start by reproducing bulk deletion in the Notes to Self chat on iOS 7.57.1, following the listed long-press, selection, and delete steps. Trace the delete action from that flow and verify that Notes to Self no longer presents “Delete for Everyone” while other chats retain the expected options.
