Goal

The XML MessageListViewModel exposes channelState, the Compose one does not. Compose apps that need loading or the
live members have to look the state up in the client's state registry instead.

Port of #6734 to develop.

Part of AND-1570

Implementation

  • Add channelState: StateFlow<ChannelState?> to the Compose MessageListViewModel, backed by the controller's flow,
    same as the XML view model.

Testing

MessageListViewModelTest checks the view model exposes the channel state the message list observes.

🤖 Generated with Claude Code

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Added access to the message list’s current channel state, which updates as the channel changes.

Walkthrough

MessageListViewModel adds a public channelState property that exposes the controller’s StateFlow<ChannelState?>. A test checks that the property returns the same ChannelState instance provided to the controller.

Channel state access

The public API and MessageListViewModel expose the controller’s channel state. The test checks that the exposed value is the same instance supplied to the controller.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Estimated code review effort: 1 (Trivial) | ~4 minutes

Change: Feature

Suggested reviewers: andremion

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 23318

Channel state is currently exposed as a live flow. The change is mergeable with a bounded test-coverage gap: add a later-emission assertion to protect that behavior.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🔵 Low · up to 23318

Compose callers gain direct access to live channel state, including messages and membership. The new accessor appears to expose state already selected by the message list, without adding a write operation or a new channel-selection path. No PR-introduced security issue was identified, but downstream usage and runtime exposure are not fully established.

Retained concerns
No architecture-level concerns identified.

Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • inferred — The direct exposure is to callers holding this Compose view model for its selected channel. The inspected accessor does not select another channel or introduce an external entrypoint.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • inferred — The getter returns a read-only flow interface for controller-selected state, while the client registry owns channel-state selection and caching. The inspected path shows no added write authority or authorization bypass; it does not establish how every downstream consumer handles the data.

A rabbit checks the channel's stream
And finds the state just as it seems
One flow is clear, one test agrees
Then hops away through leafy trees
With ears held high in springtime breeze

Assert that channelState forwards later emissions.

The test checks only the initial value. It can pass if MessageListViewModel.channelState exposes a snapshot instead of the actively updated controller flow. Emit a second ChannelState through the fixture and assert that the view model exposes it.

Suggested fix
         assertSame(fixture.channelState, viewModel.channelState.value)
+
+        val updatedChannelState: ChannelState = mock()
+        fixture.channelStateFlow.value = updatedChannelState
+
+        assertSame(updatedChannelState, viewModel.channelState.value)
...
         private val globalState: GlobalState = mock()
         val channelState: ChannelState = mock()
+        val channelStateFlow = MutableStateFlow<ChannelState?>(channelState)
...
-                    channelState = MutableStateFlow(channelState),
+                    channelState = channelStateFlow,

Looks good. One optional nit inline.
