chatmessage_to_messagedata computes is_own = msg.sender_public_key == own_user_key. When own_user_key is empty (archipelago reads props.context.user.public_key.clone().unwrap_or_default(), which yields "" if the context never provided one), every message with an empty sender_public_key matches → the whole thread renders right-aligned with sender 'Me'.

Fix: treat empty key as 'no identity' and short-circuit to is_own = false.
