Severity: low · Type: docs · Confidence: high

Location: src/app/features/room-nav/RoomNavItem.tsx:816, LOTUS_FEATURES.md, README.md

Problem

LOTUS_FEATURES.md documents that "a leading emoji in a room name is rendered at 1.15× size in the sidebar for visual hierarchy." No such scaling/segmentation logic exists anywhere in the repo (no Segmenter, Extended_Pictographic, or emoji-scale CSS) — the sidebar renders the room name as one plain text node at uniform size. Only the emoji-picker-to-prepend-an-emoji half of the feature exists.

README.md also claims this ("Emoji prefixes on room names render larger in the sidebar").

How to trigger

Name a room starting with an emoji; the sidebar shows it at the same size as the rest of the name.

Suggested fix

Either implement the described leading-emoji detection + upscale in the sidebar name render, or correct the changelog to match shipped behavior.

Filed from the September 2026 client audit (branch lotus @ 4bea4895).
