Looks good to me, but I haven't worked with this code so it would be nice if someone else could also take a look.

accepting with one question inline

lib/selectors/chat-selectors.js
405 ↗	(On Diff #23528)	Could we simply this condition to this? Or are we concerned about `newText` possibly being an empty string?

Revert the changes

lib/selectors/chat-selectors.js
405 ↗	(On Diff #23528)	I changed it, but then after more thought, I believe, that it should stay like this. If the `newText` is empty we would prefer to display an even empty message, than the original content (that is what the user would probably want). I revert the changes. We can consider preventing users from sending empty edit messages. But in the future, it would be easy to add deleting messages by sending edit messages with empty text. We would just not display them at all.

We can consider preventing users from sending empty edit messages.

We should do this. We don't allow empty messages for messageTypes.TEXT. Can you create a follow-up Linear task for this before landing?
