After joining ci_channel, the scripted search case checks in both layouts that searching its name shows the note "All results on this page are already in your chats" and no Directory row, and that a search the local list doesn't match shows ci_channel as a chat row that opens it, not "#ci_channel" with "Join channel"; New chat shows it as a contact-style row. The Claude search test's part C expects the same.

Part C joins a channel from its Directory row, then checks that the joined chat is not listed again by the directory when the local list shows it, that it is when the list doesn't, the empty result, an unregistered name, and that only the Search key resolves names. The session gets 120 turns for it.
