The org lead's rule, settled 2026-09-22: who is online is always the
narrowest audience - staff - unless an operator deliberately widens it,
and a count is fine where a list of names is not.
The public site broke that in three places since phase 4. The Online
tab named every player, the feed carried joins, respawns, deaths, chat
and tallies, and the leaderboard's lastSeen - refreshed every minute by
a gather tally - said who was on as plainly as either. All three now
sit behind one setting:
* PRESENCE_KINDS, a subset of the public allowlist, gated per request.
Below the audience the feed keeps the server's own story (wipe, start,
shutdown) and says presenceHidden rather than looking quiet.
* the Online route answers { players: [], hidden, count, audience } -
same shape, so an older client renders empty rather than breaking.
* rungs staff / signed_in / public, fleet-wide default in a new
rust_settings table with an optional per-server override on
rust_servers; an unknown stored word narrows to staff.
* the viewer's standing is RE-READ from the users row (ctx.users.getById),
not taken from the token, so a demotion or a ban applies on the next
request. Walked: a moderator demoted mid-session lost the roll call on
the same cookie.
* per-viewer answers are Cache-Control: private, no-store.
* GET/PUT /admin/rust/visibility (requireRole admin) and an admin page,
Rust visibility; every save is one activity-log row.
The browser walk also found every empty state in this module rendering
as a blank box. Core's EmptyState renders children only; this module
passed title/message (the shape the Integration Kit template teaches)
and React dropped both without a word. Fixed module-side with a small
Empty wrapper - nothing core or module-uo renders changes - and a client
test that refuses a titled EmptyState or a PageHeader subtitle.

Phase 4. `/rust` is the server list and the module's landing page (D12);
`/rust/servers/:id` is one server with four tabs — feed, leaderboard, who is
on, wipes (D13). Everything selectable lives in the URL, so any view of the
page is a link. The feed and the presence list poll every twenty seconds while
the tab is visible and not at all when it is not (D14); the leaderboard and the
wipe list load once. `site.footer.status` is filled with a live server and
player count (D15).
Nothing on these pages calls a game server. Every field comes from this
module's own tables, which is what the phase criterion is about: the site
renders the last thing each server said while every server is off.
Walking that criterion in a browser against a live rig found four defects, two
of them already shipped in phase 3:
* An unreachable refresh called `putState` — the whole-row write — with two
fields, so a host that rebooted lost its hostname, map, size, seed and wipe
id. The list then read "Offline" with nothing beside it, which is not "here
is what we know" but "we have never heard of it". `markUnreachable` now
moves three columns and mentions no others.
* "Last reported" read `updated_at`, which a FAILED poll writes too — so an
offline server claimed it had reported just now, every thirty seconds, for
as long as it stayed down. `last_seen_at` is the new column, moved only by a
frame that arrived.
* Feed rows showed a bare time of day, so three events from six weeks ago all
read as this afternoon once the feed was filtered to a past wipe.
* `/rust/servers/typo` rendered core's ErrorState under its own heading and
read "No such server / Something went wrong", sending a reader who mistyped
a URL looking for an outage.
Also: a detail route (`GET …/servers/:id`), because it is the only route under
that path that can say a server does not exist — the other four answer an empty
list for an id nobody configured, and each of those is a good answer to its own
question.
`useAsync` cannot poll: it blanks its data on every dependency change, so a
twenty-second refresh built on it would clear the killfeed and re-fill it four
times a minute. `hooks/usePolled.js` is the module's own, invisible when it
succeeds and keeping the rows when it fails.
The client test fake was *nearly* core — it prefixed routes without stripping
the trailing separator, so the first module to register an index route failed
the nav check for a link that works in a browser. It now copies core's line
character for character.
