Surface member custom data on mentioned users and typing events

[gpunto]

Goal

Follow-up to #6637, which surfaced the message author's channel-member custom data as Message.member.
The same data is now wanted in two more places: the users mentioned in a message, and the user currently
typing. Apps that keep a per-channel nickname in member custom render it instead of the user's name, so
a missing or stale value shows the wrong name rather than a missing badge.

Closes AND-1440

Implementation

• Message.mentionedChannelMembers exposes the membership of the mentioned users, keyed by user id,
  from the new mentioned_channel_members payload field. The value is the same slim MemberInfo as
  Message.member, so both the v1 inline and v2 nested custom shapes are already handled.
• TypingStartEvent and TypingStopEvent gain member, and TypingUser pairs a typing user with it.
  TypingEvent.typingUsers carries the pairs, while TypingEvent.users stays populated and is
  deprecated. The membership cannot live on User, which is shared across channels and stored as one
  row per user, so it travels beside it.
• Both are parsed on the Moshi and the direct paths, pinned together by MessageParsingTest, and the
  mentions map is persisted on the message and reply tables, ChatDatabase version 205.
• member.updated refreshes the map in channel state, legacy channel state, threads and the repository
  cache, since the backend never emits message.updated for a membership change. A user the backend did
  not project is never added, because the projection is capped per message and gated on the reader's
  permission, and the quoted message is refreshed along with the message that carries it.

Two notes for reviewers. The map converter returns a nullable map, like every other map converter in the
database: Kotlin's Map<K, out V> is covariant, so a converter over Map<String, MemberInfoEntity> also
satisfies the Map<String, Any> extra-data columns of unrelated tables, and a non-null one outranks
ExtraDataConverter there. Clearing a member's custom data keeps the entry with empty extraData
instead of removing the key, so a later member event can still find it.

Testing

Unit tests cover parser parity on both paths, the database round trip for the message and reply tables,
the refresh helpers, and the typing pruner.

Verified end to end on a device against a backend with the three member_custom toggles enabled:
the map arrives on channel query, pinned messages, search and WS message.new, typing events carry the
member, renaming a member updates every loaded message and the quoted copies without a refetch, clearing
and setting the custom data again restores it, only the first two mentioned users are projected, a
mentioned user with no custom data is absent from the map, and the maps survive an offline restart.

One backend gap was found while testing this and has since been fixed and deployed: send_message and
update_message_partial responses, and the matching WS events, omitted both projections on
quoted_message. Shards without that fix, us-east4.c6 at the time of writing, still show the old
behaviour, where a quoted message loses its projections until the next channel query.

The refresh updates the in-memory copies and the repository cache, not the stored mentions column, which
heals on the next channel query. Follow-up in AND-1533.

Manual testing

Requires an app with member_custom_on_messages_enabled, member_custom_on_mentioned_users_enabled and
member_custom_on_typing_events_enabled turned on, on a deployed shard.

1. Give a channel member custom data, for example {"nickname": "Big T"}, and mention them in a message.
   Message.mentionedChannelMembers carries their MemberInfo.
2. Have that member type. TypingEvent.typingUsers carries their MemberInfo alongside the user.
3. Change their custom data. Every loaded message mentioning them updates without a refetch.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• New Features
  • Typing events now include optional channel-member details through the new TypingUser model.
  • Messages expose membership information for mentioned channel members.
  • Mentioned-member data is preserved when messages and replies are stored offline.
• Improvements
  • Typing indicators retain richer user information while maintaining compatibility with existing user lists.
  • Member information is refreshed for message authors and mentioned users, including quoted replies.
• Deprecations
  • The legacy typing-user list is deprecated in favor of the richer typingUsers collection.

323-323: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Optionally migrate the five UI reads from deprecated TypingEvent.users.

TypingEventPruner.getTypingEvent() builds both lists from the same typingUsers, so typingUsers.map(TypingUser::user) preserves output for SDK-generated typing state. However, TypingEvent.copy(users = ...) can retain a divergent typingUsers list. Do not claim unconditional output preservation for every TypingEvent.

Apply this scoped refactor at the five listed call sites and remove the deprecation suppressions if these consumers should follow typingUsers. The “avoid suppressions unless documented” guidance is advisory and does not require this change.

Looks good. One nit inline, plus two things that did not fit on a line:

• The updateMessagesMemberInfo KDocs still say the refresh covers the messages the member authored. It covers mentioned users now too. Three places: ChannelStateImpl.kt:898, ChannelStateLegacyImpl.kt:564, ThreadStateLogic.kt:58.
• Nothing in the Compose or XML kits reads TypingUser.member or Message.mentionedChannelMembers yet, so the SDK's own typing indicator still shows the global user name. Same as #6637, so I assume it is deliberate. Is a UI follow-up planned?
