Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate how the Android client processes room upgrade events and space membership. Start by reproducing the bug and examining the sync response for the upgraded room. Check the local database schema for room and space relationships, and look for any cache invalidation logic that might miss the upgraded room. Compare with the web/iOS implementation to identify platform specific differences.
