WalkthroughAdds reusable themed date separators, centralizes floating-date opacity handling, and connects visible message timestamps to an animated date overlay during room-list scrolling. ChangesDate separator feature
Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to The change adds floating date separators without evidence of a functional merge blocker, but new TypeScript worklet functions still lack the repository’s required explicit return types. The PR is otherwise mergeable with owner awareness and a bounded follow-up to align those declarations with project guidelines. Suggested labels: 🚥 Pre-merge checks | ✅ 5✅ Passed checks (5 passed)

- Around line 83-85: Reorder the prop spreads in the List component so
{...props} is applied before viewabilityConfigCallbackPairs, ensuring the
internal callback pair remains authoritative and date timestamp updates continue
working; keep scrollPersistTaps applied as currently intended.
In `@app/views/RoomView/List/hooks/useFloatingDate.ts`:
- Around line 20-35: Define an interface for the result of useFloatingDate,
typing ts and viewabilityConfigCallbackPairs explicitly; type
viewabilityConfigCallbackPairs as
NonNullable<FlatListProps<TAnyMessageModel>['viewabilityConfigCallbackPairs']>
and add that interface as the explicit return type of useFloatingDate.

Reviewed against web develop (e3b6f3db5c) and Fuselage 0.87.0, which is what apps/meteor/package.json pins.
The feature works and the structure is good. Seven things below, two of which I consider blocking: the scroll handler is torn down and re-attached on every render, and the pill fades in on scrolls the user did not perform.
Three corrections to the PR description:
- "The unread separator states are unchanged" is not accurate. The shared container replaced
marginRight: 14/marginHorizontal: 14withgap: 12, so unread separator spacing changed too. Visible in theMessage.test.tsx.snapdiff. - The description does not mention that the inline Date Separator is restyled app-wide: font weight 500 to 700, text colour
fontSecondaryInfotobuttonFontSecondary, and a newbuttonBackgroundSecondaryDefaultpill background. That is a bigger visual change than the new overlay and reviewers should be told. - "It fades in while you scroll" is true of any scroll, including programmatic ones. See the comment on
List.tsx.
Related: #7567 is open and touches the same component and the same date format. Whichever of the two merges second wins. Worth settling the order before either lands.

Proposed changes
1. Date separator design. The date is now rendered as a pill (
buttonBackgroundSecondaryDefaultbackground,buttonFontSecondarytext,borderRadius: 16) between the two divider lines, matching web's<Bubble small secondary>and the design applied in #7567. Only the styling is ported — dates keep the existingLLformat, withno ordinal suffix, so
app/lib/dayjsis untouched. The unread separator states are unchanged.2. Floating date separator. Like web, a date bubble now floats at the top of the message list: it fades in while
you scroll, tracks the topmost visible message so it updates as you cross day boundaries, and fades out ~1s after
the list settles. It reuses the exact same pill component as the inline separator, so the two are visually
identical.
