Split from another-im/anotherim-swift#27 (reported by @asemeniv on 2026-11-06), whose app side is fixed there.

chatlist: a row's preview keeps an expired disappearing message

With preserve_history 0, a disappearing message's end is message <Expired> (ephemeral.tcl :565, messagestore.tcl :1266 expireRow). chatlist.tcl follows <Retracted> and <Edited> but not <Expired> (:152-160), and EmitIfTail (:944) would skip anyway since the row is gone. So when the expired message was the chat's last, the chat list keeps showing its text (and attachment kind) until some other change emits the entry again.

Asked: subscribe chatlist to message <Expired> (and <Removed>, which has the same gap if it is the tail) and emit the entry again with the new last message (or none).

chatlist: a row follows message <Expired> and a tail's <Removed> (#23); a room whose bookmark names none is named by its disco#info identity, kept as module state muc_name and told as muc:<Name> (#21)

Fixed in libtacky v1.2.1 (https://dev.another.im/another-im/libtacky/releases/tag/v1.2.1): the chat list row now re-emits on a message's <Expired> and on a tail's <Removed>, so a disappearing message's preview is replaced instead of lingering after it expires or is removed.

Please check with v1.2.1 or newer.
