Upstream: commetchat/commet#1019

After a user leaves or is kicked, their earlier messages show their global profile (or raw MXID) instead of the display name and avatar from the m.room.member state at the time. This is very visible with bridge ghosts, including our own voice-bridge ghosts and mautrix puppets, whose history turns into IDs when they leave. Element and FluffyChat use the historical member state.

Imported from Commet's tracker during the 2026-10-05 triage. As of that date it was open upstream with no assignee and no open PR. Nothing gets posted back to their tracker. If upstream fixes it first, close this issue and drop our patch on the next rebase (record the change in VOMMET_CHANGES.md).
