Watchers are now managed by the SettingsStore itself through a global/default watch manager. As per the included documentation, the watch manager dispatches updates to callbacks which are redirected by the SettingsStore for consumer safety.
Previously it made some complicated assumptions about the contexts it was called in (it generally assumed it just had to shuffle rooms between tags and didn't really handle new rooms very well).
The algorithm now eagerly tries to drop rooms from tags and carefully inserts them. The actual insertion logic is mostly untouched: the only part changed is how it handles failure to insert into tag. It shouldn't be possible for this algorithm to completely skip a room unless the tag is empty, so we special case that.
There are several TODO comments to be addressed here. Namely, it doesn't handle manually ordered tags (favourites, custom, etc) and doesn't check if tags are even enabled. Changes in this area are waiting for https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-react-sdk/pull/2686 to land to take advantage of monitoring the settings flag for tags.
New rooms (joined, invited, created, etc) were being ignored because they matched the check as soon as the iterator hit a non-recents section. This fixes the check to ensure there's a positive ID on the room being in the tag (or not, in the case of new rooms) before lying to the rest of the function.
Additionally, a fix for favourites has been included to stop the list expanding to fill the void - turns out it was inserting the room twice into the list, and this was breaking the tile rendering. The room sublist would allocate space for the tile, but React would prevent the tile from showing up because of duplicate keys.

When we load the page, all encrypted events arrive well after we've generated our initial grouping which can cause them to jump to the top of their categories wrongly. For direct chats, this meant that people who don't have a lot of unread messages would see ancient rooms bubbling to the top for no reason after the page has loaded.
We still have to track when the last category change was (ie: when we switched from red -> grey) so that when the category doesn't exist in the list we can insert the room at the right place (the start of the last category when we switch beyond the order expected).
This changes the approach from regenerating every time there's a change to incrementally fixing the room lists. Additionally, this forces the pin options on for people and implements the sticky room behaviour.
Known bugs include newly joined rooms, invites, etc not sorting correctly.
This takes out the old user and room settings, replacing the paths with the new dialog editions. The labs setting has been removed in order to support this change.
In addition to removing the old components outright, some older components which were only used by the settings pages have been removed. The exception is the ColorSettings component as it has a high chance of sticking around in the future.
Styles that were shared by the settings components have been broken out to dedicated sections, making it easier to remove the old styles entirely.
Some stability testing of the app has been performed to ensure the app still works, however given the scope of this change there is a possibility of some broken functionality.
This is intentionally not removing the labs flag or other supporting structures of the old settings to make a revert as easy as possible in the event that needs to happen. All of the cruft left behind (TempTab, temp styles, labs flag, old components, etc) will be removed in the very near future.
`unread` and `unread-muted` store booleans in the cache, and can easily be `false`. Without this patch, both of those cached types would be cleared from the object where a later call to `getRoomState` would try and re-populate them. `getRoomState` is supposed to use the cache where possible to avoid making the more expensive calls required to calculate those booleans.
On my account in a test environment, this brings the `generateRoomLists` execution time down from ~250ms to just ~30ms.
This still does not solve the whole issue, but should solve the more common case of performance woes for people.
