WalkthroughThe change adds grouped-channel query support to the distinct API layer. It hashes query parameters, reuses active calls, routes requests through the selected API, and tests routing and call lifecycle behavior. ChangesGrouped Channel Query Support
Priority: ⬇️ Low — Defer this narrow internal API optimization because it only deduplicates grouped-channel requests without changing the public API. Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to Concurrent identical grouped-channel queries may still issue duplicate network requests, undermining the intended deduplication and increasing request load. This should be fixed before merge. 🚥 Pre-merge checks | ✅ 4 | ❌ 1❌ Failed checks (1 warning)

Make grouped-channel deduplication atomic.
If two callers enter getOrCreate concurrently, both can observe an absent key before either writes to distinctCalls. Each caller can then receive a different DistinctCall, which allows duplicate in-flight requests. Use an atomic insertion strategy such as computeIfAbsent, and remove only the completed instance. Add a deterministic concurrent regression test.
As per coding guidelines, concurrency-sensitive logic requires deterministic tests using runTest and virtual time.

The race is in getOrCreate, which this PR does not touch and which every override shares, so it predates grouped channels rather than being introduced here. It is already tracked in AND-1327 for a class-wide atomic fix, so I would rather leave it to that than widen this port.

@gpunto, agreed. The race is in the shared getOrCreate implementation and predates this grouped-channel change. AND-1327 is the correct place for the class-wide atomic fix and its regression coverage. I will not require that wider change in this PR.
✏️ Learnings added

Learning: In `stream-chat-android-client/src/main/java/io/getstream/chat/android/client/api/internal/DistinctChatApi.kt`, the non-atomic `getOrCreate` implementation is shared by all `DistinctChatApi` overrides and predates grouped-channel deduplication. AND-1327 tracks the class-wide atomic fix.

Goal
DistinctChatApideduplicates in-flightqueryChannelscalls but notqueryGroupedChannels, so identical concurrent grouped queries fire redundant network calls. Deduplicate them the same way.Closes AND-1504
Implementation
queryGroupedChannelsinDistinctChatApi, keyed off a newQueryGroupedChannelsHash(limit, groups, watch, presence)and routed through the samegetOrCreatededup asqueryChannels.queryGroupedChannelsinDistinctChatApiEnablerso it goes throughgetApi()and respects the distinct-calls toggle.All three classes are
internal, so no public API change.Testing
DistinctChatApiTest: same arguments reuse theCall, a finished call is not reused, and different arguments get separate calls.DistinctChatApiEnablerTest: the grouped call routes to the distinct API when enabled and to the original API when disabled.Summary by CodeRabbit
