Reproduced with a real headless browser driving the live app: typing saved the draft
and it survived switching chats, but RETURNING to the chat deleted it. Stack trace
pinned it exactly:
setDraft(REMOVE) <- _restoreDraftAfterEdit <- cancelEdit <- openConvo:3484 <- selectChat
openConvo ran `clearReply(); cancelEdit(); hideAttach();` on every open. cancelEdit ->
_restoreDraftAfterEdit -> setDraft(selected,'') — and since `selected` is already the
chat being opened, it wiped THAT chat's draft (and blanked the composer) BEFORE the
draft-restore a few lines later could read it. So the draft never survived reopening —
this predated the recent rounds; my _restoreDraftAfterEdit change just made the wipe
explicit. Fix: drop cancelEdit() from openConvo (edit state is already reset at the top
via editTarget=null/_editSavedDraft='', and the shell was just rebuilt fresh). The
edit-cancel button + saveEdit still call cancelEdit normally.
Verified with puppeteer: type in chat A -> open B -> back to A -> "hello draft" restored
(PASS), no setDraft REMOVE on return.
