Research direction
Investigate the channel closing logic in the codebase, likely in the main JavaScript files. Focus on how the 'X' button and 'Leave' action are handled. Determine if the kicked channel is still considered active or has a special state that prevents removal. Check the data model for channels and see if there is a flag for kicked status that needs to be handled separately.
