[Bug]: Contextual bar actions do not work and duplicate reply names are allowed during edits

[sezallagwal]

What happened?

Overview

This issue covers two distinct bugs within the quick replies list (/quick list) and the editing flow.

Bug 1: Send, Edit, and Delete actions in quick replies list do nothing

When opening the quick replies list and clicking Send, Edit, or Delete from the overflow menu (⋮) on any reply, nothing happens — no modal opens, no error is shown.

Root Cause:
In ExecuteBlockActionHandler.ts, the room fallback uses strict equality:
if (room === undefined) {
For contextual bar block interactions, getInteractionData().room returns null (not undefined). The strict check misses null, forcing room to stay null. Following this, the if (room) guard around the Send/Edit/Delete switch evaluates to false, silently skipping the execution of all three actions.

Bug 2: Duplicate reply names allowed when editing

When editing a reply and changing its name to perfectly match another existing reply, the app accepts it and saves it instead of showing a validation error.

Root Cause:
In ReplyStorage.ts, the isUniqueReplyName method has a no-op comparison:

if (replyFound && replyId) {
    replyFound.id === replyId;  // comparison result is discarded!
    return true;                // always returns true
}

Steps to reproduce

1. Open any channel and run /quick list.
2. Click the overflow menu (⋮) on any reply.
3. Click Send, Edit, or Delete.
4. Expected: A modal opens for the selected action.
5. Actual: Nothing happens.
