Welcome to the dev Community! @Vigrius
Thanks for taking the time to write this up. I can definitely see how having access to lightweight conversation status metadata and events could make it easier to build reliable local tools and browser extensions without relying on DOM scraping.
I appreciate the detailed use case and the clear distinction that you're requesting conversation status information rather than access to message content.
I've passed this feedback along for consideration. Thanks again for sharing the idea and the MVP examples.
