Review it, then add it to your workspace.
The board opens an editable draft; nothing is saved until you confirm it. Sign-in and workspace permissions apply, and Demo boards remain ephemeral.
Project context
Fictional document team Pine shows collaboration presence for synthetic accounts. Build a loopback WebSocket server and injected clocks; no message content or activity surveillance is required.
Setup prerequisites
- Create synthetic memberships and session identifiers.
- Implement controllable sockets and an in-memory TTL adapter.
Preceding work
Complete these dependencies, or supply their agreed outputs before taking this ticket.
Acceptance criteria
- One person entry per room
- Closing one tab preserves other lease
- Last expiry removes person
Implementation constraints
- Do not merge identities across organizations.
Verification to include
- Open two tabs
- Expire last connection
Deliverables
- Presence aggregation and cases
Rollout and recovery
Display connection counts only if person aggregation is incorrect.
Value of the work
For the engineer: Practice ephemeral state, ordering and reconnect semantics.
For the team: Inspect whether online indicators avoid stale or unauthorized claims.
Evidence boundaries
Outcome Evidence: Tests, patches, and runbooks are requested deliverables. They become Outcome Evidence only through a qualified Mission and immutable Evidence IDs.
Ownership Evidence: Independent adaptation must be observed under a declared verification policy and cite immutable Evidence IDs. Completing a planning ticket establishes no Ownership Evidence.
