Research direction

Start by reproducing the archive flow on the affected app version: select a conversation and tap the archive icon, noting whether it reappears after about two seconds. Read the code handling conversation archiving and check how archived conversations are loaded back into the list. Done means archiving consistently removes the conversation from the list.
