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.

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.

Move the removal checklist out of the implementation file.
This TypeScript module contains an eight-line task checklist as a code comment. The repository guideline for **/*.{ts,tsx,js} says: “Avoid code comments in the implementation.” Move the checklist to tracked project documentation or an issue, and keep this module focused on warnGravatarDeprecation.
As per coding guidelines, TypeScript/JavaScript implementation files should avoid code comments.
