src/utils/membership.ts

+export function isOnlyAdmin(room: Room, client: MatrixClient): boolean {
+    const currentUserLevel = room.getMember(client.getUserId()!)?.powerLevel;


why not use room.client instead of requiring an extra param

why not use getSafeUserId to avoid !

For 1, only because the docs said it was for lazy loading members so I thought perhaps better to not use it generally, but happy to do so.

src/utils/membership.ts

+export function isOnlyAdmin(room: Room, client: MatrixClient): boolean {
+    const currentUserLevel = room.getMember(client.getUserId()!)?.powerLevel;
+
+    const userLevelValues = room.getMembers().map((m) => m.powerLevel);


this assumes all members have already been loaded, which may not be the case due to lazyloading

Won't this also potentially included invited/left members with high PLs?

The fn you replaced used getJoinedMembers instead

Mmm, it's true that lazy loading could potentially be an issue. Fixing this will involve making a leaveRoom async and loading members for every room in a space when we leave it. I'm not sure this is appropriate to do as part of this PR. I have added it to the doc.

src/components/structures/MatrixChat.tsx

and add doc

src/utils/membership.ts

Should we maybe add a lint rule or deprecation to powerLevelNorm to avoid using it in new code due to -footguns-

Well, I'll be removing it altogether shortly after merging this so that shouldn't be a problem.
