Settings dropdowns (Bug #3):
- Add reusable SettingsSelect component using Menu+PopOut+FocusTrap — exact
same pattern as Message Layout, so all dropdowns look consistent
- Replace raw <select> for Seasonal Theme, UI Font, AFK Timeout, and
Join & Leave Sounds with SettingsSelect
Animated chat backgrounds bleeding onto content (Bug #6 / #7):
- Remove filter:brightness() and opacity animations from chatBackground.ts
(animRainGlowKeyframe, animGridBrightnessKeyframe, animFirefliesGlowKeyframe,
animFirefliesBlinkKeyframe). These were applied to the Page element which
caused ALL descendants (messages, composer) to flash in sync.
Also created a CSS stacking context on Page that pushed SeasonalEffect
(position:fixed; z-index:9997) behind the animated background layer.
- Only backgroundPosition / backgroundSize animations remain — safe, do not
affect descendants, and do not create stacking contexts.
- Remove now-unused animation keyframe imports from chatBackground.ts.
Voice ringing in persistent rooms (Bug #5):
- Narrow the ringing condition from (Invite|Knock|Restricted) to only Invite,
matching exactly the rooms where the call button is visible.
- Add room.isCallRoom() early-exit so m.join_rule:call rooms never ring.
Avatar decoration images not loading (Bug #8):
- Change loading="lazy" → loading="eager" in DecorationPreviewCell.
Lazy loading does not reliably trigger for images inside nested overflow
scroll containers (the settings panel scroll area), so images never loaded.

256×256 APNG overlays from avatardecoration.com (open CORS CDN).
Stored in the user's Matrix profile as io.lotus.avatar_decoration via
MSC4133 so all Lotus Chat users see each other's decorations.
- avatarDecorations.ts: curated catalog of 110 original-IP decorations
across 9 categories (Gaming, Cyber, Space, Fantasy, Elements,
Japanese, Nature, Spooky, Cozy)
- useAvatarDecoration: per-user profile fetch with module-level cache
and in-flight deduplication so concurrent renders for the same userId
share one HTTP request
- AvatarDecoration: position:relative wrapper that overlays the APNG
8px beyond the avatar on all sides; renders nothing when no decoration
is set (zero cost for undecorated users)
- ProfileDecoration: scrollable grid picker in Settings → Profile,
grouped by category with live preview; Save button appears only when
the selection differs from what's saved
- Applied at all five avatar display sites: message timeline, members
drawer, knock list, @mention autocomplete, notifications inbox
