Summary

  • Do not treat the i18n fallback (Unknown / Member) as a real person name while Privy/Hypha lookup is still in flight (including JWT not ready yet).
  • While loading: keep the existing header skeleton / empty label; after lookup finishes with no name: show Member.
  • Typing: say Someone is typing… until a real name exists.
  • Reply connector stays mounted and measures imperatively — avoids the React Layout Cleanup #185 remount loop from the earlier bubble-skeleton attempt (fix(chat): stop showing Unknown while Privy names load #2642).

Out of scope / safety

Test plan

  • Open a chat with bridged Privy peers: header shows skeleton (not Unknown), then real name or Member
  • Reply messages: connector renders; no crash when names resolve
  • Typing indicator: Someone is typing… until names resolve
  • Mention pills: skeleton while loading, Member only if settled empty
  • Send / reply / react — no React Layout Cleanup #185

Supersedes the name portion of #2642 (leave that PR closed/abandoned once this lands).

Made with Cursor

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Chat messages, reply previews, and typing indicators now handle unavailable or placeholder member names more clearly, showing a neutral member label when a name can’t be resolved.
    • Profile-dependent labels display a loading state while information is still being retrieved.
  • New Features
    • Typing indicators now provide clearer messages for unnamed typists and combinations of named and unnamed typists, with updated translations across supported languages.

Treat the i18n fallback as unresolved until Hypha person lookup settles,
keep reply connectors mounted (no remount/#185), and say Someone is typing
when a real name is not ready yet. Settled empty labels use Member.

Walkthrough

Chat member labels now distinguish unresolved fallbacks from names and account for profile and authentication loading. Typing indicators format labels for named and unnamed peers. Reply connector geometry is rounded and applied to mounted SVG elements imperatively.

Merge Risk: Low · up to 094c1

With three or more people typing and only one resolved name, the typing indicator can say "Alex and someone are typing…", which understates how many people are typing. This is a small display issue that is easy to fix before or shortly after merge.

Minor · Functional Correctness · Quick win

Fix the typing label for three or more peers with one name.

formatTypingIndicatorLabel returns labels.nameAndSomeone whenever named.length === 1 and peers.length > 1. With three peers and one name, the UI shows "Alex and someone are typing…". The label implies two people, but three are typing. The old count-based label did not understate the number.

Use nameAndSomeone only when peers.length === 2. Use many(peers.length) for larger counts. Add a three-peer test case to use-chat-room-typing.test.ts.
