Notification for unread redacted message in thread gets stuck #26933

Steps to reproduce

  1. Get 2 clients.
  2. From one client, create room, post message.
  3. Read that event in the other client, then click off the room
  4. Post another message creating a thread from that message. Make sure it's a message that notifis the other client.
  5. In the same client that posted it (without viewing it the other), redact that message.
  6. Observe you now have a notification with no matching message in the other client, so no way to clear it.
  7. Clear cache & reload in the client with the stuck notif, observe that you still have a stuck notif.

Outcome

What did you expect?

Redacting a message in the main timeline causes the notification to vanish, so probably that, although getting notifications that can then disappear without a trace seems problematic.

What happened instead?

Stuck notif with no obvious cause & no way to clear.
