Messaging component reference

[codebestia]

Write apps/web/docs/components-messaging.md for src/components/messaging/: MessageThread, InboundMessageRow, EncryptedThumbnail, UnavailableMessagePlaceholder — the components that render the decrypted (or undecryptable) message stream.

Acceptance criteria:

• Each component documented with props and where it is rendered
• Documents the states a message row can be in — decrypted, unavailable/pre-link, deleted tombstone, system event, file/image — and which component handles each
• Explains UnavailableMessagePlaceholder and the distinction it must preserve: "this device legitimately has no envelope" is not the same as "decryption failed"
• Documents EncryptedThumbnail's decrypt-to-object-URL flow and its cleanup obligation

Hello Maintainer, I’ve reviewed the messaging documentation requirements and understand the need to accurately document both the component responsibilities and message states. I can document each component’s props and rendering location, clearly distinguish decrypted, unavailable, deleted, system, and file/image states, and explain the important difference between a missing envelope and a decryption failure. I’ll also document "EncryptedThumbnail"’s decrypt-to-object-URL lifecycle and cleanup requirements. I’m ready to start immediately and iterate quickly on feedback. Kindly assign this issue to me.

Hi, I'd like to work on this issue. I'll write apps/web/docs/components-messaging.md for src/components/messaging/ (MessageThread, InboundMessageRow, EncryptedThumbnail, UnavailableMessagePlaceholder), documenting each component's props and where it renders, the possible states of a message row (decrypted, unavailable/pre-link, deleted tombstone, system event, file/image) and which component handles each, the distinction UnavailableMessagePlaceholder must preserve between a legitimately missing envelope and a failed decryption, and EncryptedThumbnail's decrypt-to-object-URL flow and cleanup obligation. I'll verify against the component source before opening a PR.
