Friend Chief avatar identical to local Chief (possible #965 regression) #1069

Closed

Description

@Birfy

Reproduce

SelfB1025 home, after accepting friend invite for Chief (SelfA1025), product UI 2026-10-25:

  1. Look at local Chief avatar in sidebar.
  2. Look at friend row Chief (SelfA1025) avatar.

Expected

Local Bot keeps a distinct color/avatar from a friend Bot that shares the same display name (fixed in #965 / PR that kept local color).

Actual

Both use the same blue whale avatar. Only the orange star (local) and a small glyph after the friend name distinguish them.

Likely regression of #965 ("Keep a local Bot's color when a friend shares its name", MERGED).

Environment

Suggested scope

Restore distinct local vs friend Chief color/avatar when names collide; add a regression assertion if missing.

    Sidebar still same blue whale for local + friend Chief on tip before #1078. @-picker already shows friend in green — filed a sibling issue for picker/sidebar parity if #1078 only covers lookAvoidingLocals.
