Error description
When a new collaboration session is started, several events get added to an internal queue which can later be fetched with a GET /event API call. In the problematic case, the user tries to start a session with invalid inputs first and quickly follows it with a second attempt with the right inputs (correctly identifying the party to collaborate with). At that point, the GET /event API is called which returns all the events up to that point, including those from the failed attempt. Therein lies the problem. The event list contains a "NOT_ESTABLISHED" event from the first failed attempt, but that causes potential client code to associate it with the second successful attempt.
