Research direction

The issue concerns the joining section of the explainer in this repository, which uses mls.joinGroup() and also groupJoin(). Make the method name consistent, then rewrite the sentence claiming the new member has the same group state as the creator so it says the Welcome sets the joiner's state at a specific epoch and later messages may be needed to catch up. Done when the section uses one name and the epoch qualification reads correctly.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Nit: The joining section calls mls.joinGroup() and then refers to groupJoin().

The section also says the new member has the same view of group state as the creator. Please qualify this: the Welcome establishes the joiner’s state at a particular epoch, and the client may need to process later messages to catch up.
