refactor: simplify MessageComposer - #7640
Conversation
…riptions ComposerInput emits React Compiler errors, so it is never auto-memoized: restore its memo wrapper and the useFocusEffect useCallback deps, which the emitter cleanup depends on. Hoist MessageComposerContainer's default children out of JSX so the file compiles again, narrow CancelEdit and useChooseMedia to useMessageActionKind, name the a11y announce delay and use optional call syntax for onClosed.

Proposed changes
Cleanup pass over
MessageComposer, on top of the RoomView hooks migration.Two of these are verified React Compiler regressions rather than style changes:
ComposerInputemits fourCompileErrors (Immutability, plus "cannot access variable before it is declared" forsetInput,focus,onAutocompleteItemSelectedandhandleTyping), so the compiler never memoizes it. Withmemodropped, the typing hot path had no memoization at all.memo(forwardRef(...))is restored, anduseFocusEffectis wrapped inuseCallbackagain: without stable identity React Navigation re-ranemitter.off('addMarkdown')/off('toolbarMention'), which drop every listener for those events, on each render. The durable fix is hoisting those four declarations above first use so the compiler stops bailing.MessageComposerContainerpassed<ComposerAttachments />inline as a default prop, which flipped the file fromCompileSuccesstoCompileError(JSXElement cannot be safely reordered) and un-memoized the provider tree below it. The element is now a module-scope constant, which keeps the prop overridable by callers.The rest:
CancelEditanduseChooseMediauseduseMessageAction()but only read the kind, so both re-rendered on every quote add and remove. Narrowed touseMessageActionKind().800delay inuseAutocompleteA11yAnnounceinstead of explaining it in a comment.onClosed && onClosed(params)toonClosed?.(params).Issue(s)

How to test or reproduce
Open a room and use the composer: typing, autocomplete, quoting, editing, cancelling an edit, and attaching media. Behavior should be unchanged.

MessageActionStore/ComposerStore:MessageComposer.tsxhand-derives the edit and quote narrowing fromgetState(), duplicating what the store already exports asuseEditingMessageId/useQuotedMessageIds. Extracting plaingetEditingMessageId(state)/getQuotedMessageIds(state)selectors would let both paths share it. ThegetState()read itself is a win: it removes four render subscriptions.useEditRequestanduseOnSendMessagehave no production consumer left; their only references are their own tests.ComposerProvider's({ children, ...state })signature forces a JSX spread at the test call site. Taking a singlestateprop would remove it.Local run: 10 suites, 120 tests, 23 snapshots pass;
