ChannelPreviewUnreadCount

Renders unread count inside ChannelList. This is the default component for the PreviewUnreadCount prop.

Best Practices

• Clamp counts with maxUnreadCount to avoid overflow.
• Hide the badge when unread is zero.
• Keep badge size consistent across the list.
• Use channel-level unread counts for accuracy.
• Avoid expensive formatting in render.
