StreamChat

✅ Added

• ChatMessageSearchController.search(text:sort:completion:) and MessageSearch.search(text:sort:) now accept an optional sort parameter so message search can respect a custom sort order (e.g. the channel list's sort when searching from the channel list) #3980
• MessageSearchQuery.messageSearchSort(fromChannelListSort:) to convert channel list sort order to message search sort for consistent ordering in the channel list search UI #3980

🐞 Fixed

• Fix autocomplete filter predicate not matching diacritic variants (e.g. "Joao" now matches "João") #3977
• Fix "circular reference" compile error with newer Swift/Xcode by marking WebSocketConnectionState as indirect (cycle with DisconnectionSource.timeout(from:)) #3978
• Fix adding and removing channels from channel list query when channel updated web-socket event is received #3983

StreamChatUI

✅ Added
