fix: replace dead matrix federation URL in shared links constants

[successbyte]

Proposed changes (including videos or screenshots)

Replaces a dead matrix federation shortlink with a live docs URL in shared link constants.

Updated:

• apps/meteor/client/lib/links.ts
• packages/ui-client/src/lib/links.ts

links.go.matrixFederation now points to:
https://docs.rocket.chat/docs/federation-architecture-and-capabilities

instead of:
https://go.rocket.chat/i/matrix-federation

Issue(s)

Closes #39167

Steps to test or reproduce

1. Open:
   • apps/meteor/client/lib/links.ts
   • packages/ui-client/src/lib/links.ts
2. Confirm matrixFederation points to:
   • https://docs.rocket.chat/docs/federation-architecture-and-capabilities
3. Open the URL and confirm it resolves successfully.
4. (Optional) open old URL and confirm it is dead.

Further comments

Scope is intentionally minimal: constant replacement only, no behavior/code-path changes.

Timestamp: 2025-10-28T16:53:42.761Z
Learning: In the Rocket.Chat federation-matrix integration (ee/packages/federation-matrix/), the createRoom method from rocket.chat/federation-sdk will support a 4-argument signature (userId, roomName, visibility, displayName) in newer versions. Code using this 4-argument call is forward-compatible with planned library updates and should not be flagged as an error.

Learning: In the Rocket.Chat repository, do not reference Biome lint rules in code review feedback. Biome is not used even if biome.json exists; only reference Biome rules if there is explicit, project-wide usage documented. For TypeScript files, review lint implications without Biome guidance unless the project enables Biome rules.

Learning: In this repository (RocketChat/Rocket.Chat), Biome lint rules are not used even if a biome.json exists. When reviewing TypeScript files (e.g., packages/ui-voip/src/providers/useMediaSession.ts), ensure lint suggestions do not reference Biome-specific rules. Rely on general ESLint/TypeScript lint rules and project conventions instead.

Timestamp: 2026-02-25T20:10:16.987Z
Learning: In the RocketChat/Rocket.Chat monorepo, packages/ddp-client and apps/meteor do not use TypeScript project references. Module augmentations in apps/meteor (e.g., declare module 'rocket.chat/rest-typings') are not visible when compiling packages/ddp-client in isolation, which is why legacy SDK methods that depend on OperationResult types for OpenAPI-migrated endpoints must remain commented out.

Timestamp: 2025-11-05T21:04:35.787Z
Learning: In Rocket.Chat's federation-matrix setup (ee/packages/federation-matrix/src/setup.ts and apps/meteor/ee/server/startup/federation.ts), configureFederationMatrixSettings does not need to be called before setupFederationMatrix. The SDK's init() establishes infrastructure (database, event handlers, APIs) first, and the configuration can be applied later via settings watchers before actual federation events are processed. The config only matters when events actually occur, at which point all infrastructure is already configured.

Timestamp: 2026-02-10T16:32:42.586Z
Learning: In Rocket.Chat's Meteor client code, DDP streams use EJSON and Date fields arrive as Date objects; do not manually construct new Date() in stream handlers (for example, in sdk.stream()). Only REST API responses return plain JSON where dates are strings, so implement explicit conversion there if needed. Apply this guidance to all TypeScript files under apps/meteor/client to ensure consistent date handling in DDP streams and REST responses.

🔇 Additional comments (2)

packages/ui-client/src/lib/links.ts (1)

23-23: LGTM! Consistent with the change in apps/meteor/client/lib/links.ts.

Both link constant files are now synchronized with the same live documentation URL.

apps/meteor/client/lib/links.ts (1)

23-23: Update federation link to live documentation URL.

The matrixFederation link is correctly updated to the direct documentation URL since the go.rocket.chat shortlink is no longer accessible. The URL responds with HTTP 200.

Walkthrough

Two link constant files are updated to redirect the matrixFederation property from a non-functional shortlink to a working external documentation URL about federation architecture and capabilities.
