[omnidisc] could not read the group status

Error message

[omnidisc] could not read the group status

What it means

This catch guards the store's group-status reader: it builds an OmnidiscGroupStatus from a raw backend record (group id, epoch, member list) and, if fetching/parsing the record throws, logs this warning and returns undefined. Callers of getGroupStatus will simply see null — encrypted-channel group membership state is unavailable.

Solutions

1. Check errorText(e) for whether the group record is missing vs malformed
2. Trigger a group status refresh/re-sync (the epoch may have advanced and needs the latest group state)
3. Verify the raw record fields (group_id, epoch, members) match the parser's expectations
4. If the group was never initialized, initialize it via the channel's group-setup flow before reading status

// treat missing group state as 'not initialized' before parsing
const raw = await invoke<unknown>("omnidisc_group_status", { channelId }).catch(() => null);
if (!raw) return;

function hasGroupFields(raw: unknown): raw is { group_id?: unknown; epoch?: unknown; members?: unknown[] } {
  return typeof raw === "object" && raw !== null;
}

try {
  const status = parseGroupStatus(raw);
  groupStatusByChannel[channelId] = status;
} catch (e) {
  console.warn("[omnidisc] could not read the group status", errorText(e));
}

When it happens

Trigger: Reading the encrypted-group state for a channel when the backend group-status command rejects or the raw record fails field extraction (missing group_id/epoch/members): group not yet initialized for the channel, malformed persisted group state, or membership decryption failure.

Common situations: Joining an encrypted channel before its group/mLS tree is initialized; another member rotated the group epoch and local state is stale; corrupted persisted group state after a crash; schema drift between backend writer and frontend parser.
