   - GIFs now sent as `gif`,
   - sticker-like payloads sent as `sticker` (filename/mime detection).
 - Added missing fallback resource theme declarations (`themes.xml`) to stabilize clean debug assembly on local builds.
+
+### Step 131 - Channel chat Telegram-like visual alignment
+- Added channel-aware chat rendering path:
+  - `MessageUiState` now carries `chatType` from `ChatViewModel`,
+  - channel timeline bubbles are rendered as wider post-like cards (left-aligned feed style).
+- Refined channel message status presentation:
+  - post cards now show cleaner timestamp-only footer instead of direct-message style checks.
+- Added dedicated read-only channel bottom bar (for non owner/admin):
+  - compact Telegram-like controls with search + centered `Включить звук` action + notifications icon.
+- Kept existing full composer for roles allowed to post in channels (owner/admin).
