Room information changes are notified but not reflected in the Room Information sidebar

[Khizarshah01]

Summary

EmbeddedChat displays system messages when room information changes (topic, announcement, description, privacy), but it does not update or expose the resulting room information in the Room Information sidebar.

Currently, users are notified that something changed, but they must refresh the page to see the updated values.

Current Behavior

• EmbeddedChat shows system messages such as:
  • “User changed room topic”
  • “User changed room announcement”
  • “User changed room description”
• The Room Information sidebar and header do not update dynamically.
• Updated room information is only visible after a manual refresh.

Expected Behavior

• When room information changes on the server, EmbeddedChat should:
  • Update the Room Information sidebar and header in real time
  • Reflect the current room name, description, announcement, topic, and privacy state
• No page refresh should be required to see updated room information.

---

Why This Matters

Notifying users about room information changes without showing the updated values creates confusion and incomplete context.

Acceptance Criteria

• Room metadata updates (topic, announcement, description, privacy) are reflected in the Room Information sidebar in real time
• The header reflects updated room information without requiring a refresh
• No manual refresh is required to see updated room information
