WalkthroughThe change prevents hidden cached channels from re-entering standard or grouped queries through membership and channel updates. It adds sequential event coverage, a member-update test factory, and user-scoped unread-count synchronization when no user is connected. ChangesHidden channel handling

Goal
A channel hidden via
channel.hiddenis put back into the channel list by achannel.updatedormember.updatedfor the same channel, and stays there until the app restarts. The remove itself works: in thereported logs the displayed grouped list empties and then has the channel back 38ms later, inside the same event
batch. Neither add path checks whether the channel is hidden.
Closes AND-1530
Implementation
DefaultChatEventHandler.addIfMembershipUpdatedwhen the cached channel is hidden. This is themember.updatedpath, and it is the only one that applies to plain channel lists, since the base handleralready skips
channel.updated.GroupAwareChatEventHandler.routeByGroupwhen the cached channel is hidden, and remove the channel ifit is still listed. This is the
channel.updatedpath; the default group resolver always resolves a channel intothe
allsentinel group, so anallgrouped query took the add unconditionally.hiddenis per-user and absent fromchannel.updatedpayloads, so both guards read the cached channel. Per-channelevent handling runs before query handling in the same batch, so for a channel whose state is active in memory the
flag is current.
parseChatEventResultsfalls back to the database for channels that are not active, and thedatabase is only written after query handling, so on that fallback the guard sees the pre-batch value and does not
fire. Narrowing that gap means filtering hidden where the query map is written rather than per event, which is a
wider change than this fix.
The new-message add paths stay unguarded: a non-shadowed message clears
hiddeninChannelEventHandler, which iswhat makes a hidden channel resurface legitimately.
ChannelMutableState.toChannel()now resolves the current user from theuserFlowit already holds instead of theChatClientsingleton. Same value (StateRegistryis constructed withclientState.user), and it lets the statelayer be exercised without a built client.
Testing
EventHandlerSequentialHiddenChannelTestdrivesEventHandlerSequentialover the realStateRegistryandLogicRegistry. It replays the reported batch (notification.mark_read,channel.hidden,channel.updated,member.updated) against a grouped query, and covers a plain query hidden in one batch and updated in the next.Both fail without the guards. A third case asserts the same batch without the hidden event still adds the channel,
so the assertions cannot pass vacuously, and a fourth asserts a new message brings a hidden channel back.

base and from the branch itself, so the builds differ only by the fix. On the base build a channel hidden with
HideChannelis put back into the list by the followingUpdateMemberPartial; on the fix build it stays out, anda new message still brings it back. The backend excludes the channel from that user's
QueryChannelsresponsethroughout, so a list that shows it is provably out of sync with the server.
channel.updatedpath is grouped-only, and grouped queries are restricted server-side to a single org, so itis covered by the automated tests here and validated by the reporter rather than in a sample app.
