WalkthroughMessage update paths now preserve existing link preview URLs when partial updates provide no URLs. Regression tests cover subscription updates and ChangesMessage URL preservation
Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to The fix keeps link previews visible during partial message syncs, but an empty URL update could still leave a preview visible when the server intended to remove it, and the added test callbacks still need a small style correction. The PR is mergeable with explicit owner awareness and follow-up on these bounded risks. Suggested labels: Suggested reviewers: 🚥 Pre-merge checks | ✅ 5✅ Passed checks (5 passed)

- Around line 285-290: Preserve existing URL metadata when partial updates
provide an empty urls array: update threadRecord.prepareUpdate and
threadMessageRecord.prepareUpdate in
app/lib/methods/subscriptions/room.ts:285-290, and threadsToUpdate and
threadMessagesToUpdate in app/lib/methods/updateMessages.ts:149-169, applying
the same fallback used for messages before Object.assign overwrites the record.
Add regression coverage for both thread record types.

Learning: In TypeScript test files, do not require explicit return-type annotations on `it()` callbacks when the surrounding test suite omits them. Also, do not require explicit parameter types when TypeScript correctly infers them from a typed mocked function signature, such as `UserPreferences.getString`.

…rds too The urls guard added for the messages collection didn't cover thread and thread-message records, which persist their own independent urls field and are clobbered by the same partial-sync Object.assign pattern.

LGTM. run e2e tests and you can merge!

Proposed changes
When we open a room, it shows the URL preview for a second, then hides it — until we edit the message or react to it (or remove the reaction), which forces an update and brings the preview back.
This happens because opening a room fires a catch-up sync as soon as its DDP subscription connects (
RoomSubscription.subscribe()→handleConnection→loadMissedMessages), and that sync can returnurls: []for a message that already has a resolved link preview stored locally.Issue(s)
https://rocketchat.atlassian.net/browse/NATIVE-1494
How to test or reproduce
Before: the link preview renders for a moment, then disappears (until you react/unreact to that message, which forces a fresh update).
After: the preview stays visible.
Affected screens: RoomView message list (any message with a link preview).
