@ -191,13 +191,14 @@ In order for UI to be consistent across different clients, any cycles must be
cut deterministically. For instance, if space A points to space B as a child
but space B also points to space A as a child, then clients must be consistent
on whether A is shown in the UI as the parent of B (or vice versa). Therefore
when a client spots a loop in parent->child or child->parent relationships, it
MUST ignore the cycle by cutting it such that the oldest space-room is the
root (i.e. oldest parent). 'Oldest' means the room whose `m.room.create`
event has the numerically smallest `origin_server_ts`. If the oldest rooms
are precisely the same age, we select the root as the room with the smallest
`room_id` (lexicographically comparing the Unicode code-points of the
`room_id` string).
when a client needs to consistently visualise a space hierarchy, it should
check for loops in parent->child or child->parent relationships and ignore the
cycle by cutting it such that the oldest space-room is the root (i.e. oldest
parent). 'Oldest' means the room whose `m.room.create` event has the
numerically smallest `origin_server_ts`. If the oldest rooms are precisely
