Compute a member's visible history and initial read marker: initial marker · case 04

The first message after the join is already considered read.

Member previewVariant 4 · 3 implementations · 6 checks per implementation

Case contract

messages are seqs (duplicates possible). A member sees seqs >= join_seq, or all seqs from 1 when the room shares history with new members; after leaving at leave_seq they see nothing after leave_seq (their own leave event included). The initial read marker is join_seq - 1, so only messages from the join onward are unread. Result {visible (sorted, unique), initial_marker}.

Why this case matters

Membership changes decide which history a user may read and where their unread count starts.
