- PR #139477: fix(desktop): present canonical groups as rooms

These items appear to concern how canonical group chats are displayed in the desktop app, including a tab title showing a raw registry key, unstyled room workspace, and missing names and message times. One member also touches gateway handling of local bots for groups and the roster, which is adjacent but broader than the display issues.
