Observed behaviour
When a channel within a server is muted, new/unread messages in that channel still cause the server icon in the sidebar to show an unread indicator (the white dot/pill), even though the channel itself is muted and its unread state should be excluded from the server-level indicator.
Reproduction steps
Join a server with multiple channels.
Mute a specific channel (e.g. right-click the channel → Mute Channel).
Have someone post a new message in that muted channel (or trigger an unread state in it).
Observe the server icon in the server list sidebar.

Evidence
Expected behavior:
The server icon should not show an unread indicator from messages in a muted channel, since the user has explicitly muted that channel.
Actual behavior:
The server icon still shows the unread indicator, even though the only unread activity is inside a muted channel.
Additional context:
