 25. Admin Rights - `PARTIAL` (delete/pin/edit info + explicit ban APIs for groups/channels including ban list endpoint; web Chat Info now shows searchable `Banned users` with both inline and right-click `Unban` actions for owner/admin, member search, avatars in moderation lists, invite-link copy/regenerate actions, ban metadata (`who banned/when`), explicit member action button for touch/trackpad UX, `@username`-friendly moderation filters, and resilient profile hydration (`allSettled`) for partially missing users; add-member and banned-filters now show explicit empty-state hints; moderation actions (`add/remove/ban/unban/promote/demote/transfer owner`) now force full panel refresh to keep members/bans/counters in sync without manual reopen; integration tests cover channel member read-only, channel admin full-delete, channel message delete-for-all permissions, group profile edit permissions, owner-only role management rules, and admin-visible/member-forbidden ban-list access; remaining UX moderation tools limited)
 26. Channels - `PARTIAL` (create/post/edit/delete/subscribe/unsubscribe; integration tests now also cover invite-link permissions (member forbidden, admin allowed); web Chat Info now differentiates destructive actions by role for both groups/channels (`Delete ... for all` for owner/admin, `Leave` for members) and blocks invalid owner-leave action when members remain; app auto-join by invite token is now single-shot with toast errors (no retry spam on invalid/expired links); remaining UX edge-cases still polishing)

Notifications - `PARTIAL` (browser notifications + mute/settings; chat mute is propagated in chat list payload, honored by web realtime notifications with mention override, and mute toggle now syncs instantly in chat store; backend now emits `chat_updated` after notification mute/unmute for cross-tab consistency; no mobile push infra)
