fix: Restore Away to quick status menu

[ricardogarim]

Proposed changes (including videos or screenshots)

Restores Away as a manually selectable preset in the quick status menu, the custom status modal, and the account profile page.

Away had been hidden (shown only when the user was already on it) when presence and status text were still treated as one thing. Now that they're separated, Away is a valid standalone presence state again — independent of any custom status text.

The change removes the two filters that hid Away (UserStatusMenu.tsx, shared by the modal + profile; and useStatusItems.tsx for the navbar) and restores the original order Online → Away → Busy → Offline. No backend change needed: away is already accepted by users.setStatus and preserved by the presence engine.

Issue(s)

• CORE-2430

Steps to test or reproduce

1. Open the user menu (avatar) → Away appears as a preset; selecting it sets your status to Away.
2. Open Custom Status modal → the status picker offers Away.
3. Go to My Account → Profile → the status picker offers Away.

Learning: In Rocket.Chat's Meteor client code, DDP streams use EJSON and Date fields arrive as Date objects; do not manually construct new Date() in stream handlers (for example, in sdk.stream()). Only REST API responses return plain JSON where dates are strings, so implement explicit conversion there if needed. Apply this guidance to all TypeScript files under apps/meteor/client to ensure consistent date handling in DDP streams and REST responses.

Learning: In Rocket.Chat’s Meteor client code, when calling `dispatchToastMessage` with `{ type: 'error' }`, pass the raw caught error object as `message` without manual normalization. `dispatchToastMessage` is designed to accept `message: unknown` for error toasts, so avoid converting errors to strings (e.g., `String(error)`) or extracting `error.message` before passing them.

Learning: In the Rocket.Chat repository, do not reference Biome lint rules in code review feedback. Biome is not used even if biome.json exists; only reference Biome rules if there is explicit, project-wide usage documented. For TypeScript files, review lint implications without Biome guidance unless the project enables Biome rules.

Learning: In this repository (RocketChat/Rocket.Chat), Biome lint rules are not used even if a biome.json exists. When reviewing TypeScript files (e.g., packages/ui-voip/src/providers/useMediaSession.ts), ensure lint suggestions do not reference Biome-specific rules. Rely on general ESLint/TypeScript lint rules and project conventions instead.

Timestamp: 2026-05-06T12:21:44.083Z
Learning: Field wrappers in rocket.chat/fuselage-forms (Field, FieldLabel, FieldRow, FieldError, FieldHint) auto-create htmlFor/id associations, aria-describedby, and role="alert" for errors. Do not manually set htmlFor, id, aria-describedby, or role attributes when using these wrappers. This automatic wiring does not apply to plain rocket.chat/fuselage components, which require explicit ID wiring per the accessibility docs. In code reviews, prefer using fuselage-forms wrappers for form fields and verify there is no unnecessary manual ID/aria wiring in files that use these wrappers. If a component uses plain fuselage components, ensure proper id wiring as per docs.

Walkthrough

The status menus now always include “Away” as a selectable preset. Initial status handling uses the user’s current status directly, and patch-release metadata documents the restored behavior.
