The retirement path in the portal's sync_matrix_space removes a retired identity from only two rooms.

/app/code/app/main.py L1456 (in the deployed image) does:

for room in [MATRIX_SPACE_ID] + ([MATRIX_GENERAL_ROOM] if MATRIX_GENERAL_ROOM else []):

which is the old hardcoded pair. The invite path in the same function was updated to member_invite_rooms(), which reads MATRIX_INVITE_ROOMS (currently 7 rooms, Skillshare included) — so the two halves of the function now disagree.

Effect: when a member moves to an external homeserver and their local account is retired, the local identity is kicked from the Space and General room but remains a member of the other five configured rooms, including member-only community rooms. It keeps a lingering account in rooms it should have left.

Fix: use member_invite_rooms() in the retirement loop too, so the invite set and the retire set are the same list by construction rather than by coincidence.

Found while verifying the Skillshare invite fix (#21).

The retirement path in the portal's `sync_matrix_space` removes a retired identity from only two rooms. `/app/code/app/main.py` L1456 (in the deployed image) does: for room in [MATRIX_SPACE_ID] + ([MATRIX_GENERAL_ROOM] if MATRIX_GENERAL_ROOM else []): which is the *old* hardcoded pair.

Fixed and deployed.

What changed (app/main.py, retirement half of sync_matrix_space)

for room in [MATRIX_SPACE_ID] + ([MATRIX_GENERAL_ROOM] if MATRIX_GENERAL_ROOM else []): -> for room in member_invite_rooms():
Retirement logic itself is untouched: kick for joined accounts, m.room.member leave state-event for invite-state accounts.

Evidence

Deployed /app/code/app/main.py retirement loop now reads for room in member_invite_rooms(): (was the hardcoded pair). The invite loop uses the same call, so the two sets are now the same list by construction.
Calling the deployed member_invite_rooms() inside the running container returns 7 rooms; the old retirement set was 2:

The five newly covered rooms (Design, Community, Infrastructure, Updates, Skillshare) are exactly the leak described in this issue.

Not tested / limits of this verification

No real member identity was retired (out of scope and forbidden), so the actual kick / invite-revocation against a live joined account was not exercised end to end. What is proven is the code path and the resolved room set, not a live retirement event.
The joined / invited guards are still derived from the Space's membership only, so a local account that is joined in a non-Space room but not the Space would not hit the kick branch. Left as-is deliberately to keep this a minimal room-set fix; flagging it rather than changing behaviour silently.

Closing: the code path is deployed and verified.
