Two gaps the group-name change left behind.
The encrypted history export carried the messages but not the names. That
was harmless while the relay answered with them — a reinstalled device got
them back for free. It holds none now, so this device's copy is the only
copy, and restoring a backup would have produced a chat list of groups all
called "Group": exactly the loss the export exists to prevent. Names ride
the payload, and only fill gaps on import — a backup is older than the
device by definition, so a rename made since must not be undone.
And fan-out excludes our own account, so a second phone we own was told by
nobody: the relay has no name to serve it and the members only send to each
other. The announcement now addresses our own account too. The fan-out loop
already skipped our own device, so what goes out reaches our OTHER devices
and nothing else.
