Use the member name as the LiveKit identity (was random per join) so a
refresh/rejoin replaces the existing session instead of leaving a ghost
participant in the room. Set roomConfig on the token (emptyTimeout 60s,
departureTimeout 20s) so empty rooms and departed participants clean up
promptly. Pods map 1:1 to a deterministic room name, so joins reuse the
same room rather than spawning new ones.

Join UX: click a member's name to join directly, or type a name and "Join"
(adds to roster + joins) — removes the redundant dropdown step. "Add" still
adds to the roster without joining.
Presence: new GET /api/presence (LiveKit RoomServiceClient) reports who's
connected per pod. The pod list polls it and shows a "N in room" badge plus a
green dot on members currently connected, so people can see active pods and jump in.

- PodView now shows LIVE LiveKit participants (updates as people join/leave,
active-speaker highlight) instead of the static roster — no refresh needed.
- "Play beat" button publishes a generated 4/4 beat into the room so every
participant hears the same audio (speaker lights up) — a real connectivity test.
- "Share my screen" is now a deliberate button; joining only connects to the
room (fast/reliable), so a denied/slow screen prompt no longer fails the join.
- Session persisted in sessionStorage with auto-reconnect, so a refresh keeps
you in the room instead of dropping back to the pod list.

Backend: atomic create with insert-retry-on-duplicate-key (removes slug
TOCTOU race + wrong 400s), resilient per-index creation so a unique-index
failure can't silently drop the constraint or block seeding, idempotent
race-safe seeding via $setOnInsert, type validation + size caps on all pod
fields/members, removeMember no-ops without a write, /api/outcome guarded.
Frontend: per-pod busy state (one mutation no longer disables every card),
joined pod derived from the list (can't go stale), create keeps inputs on error.

Pods are persisted in MongoDB and CRUD'd via /api/pods (list/create/get/
update/delete + add/remove member). Shared Pod reshaped to a persisted entity
(members: string[], description, timestamps) + PodInput. Backend seeds Demo/
Frontend/Backend Pods on first run (Squad -> Pod rename). Frontend replaces
hardcoded teams with live data: PodCard (member chips add/remove, inline edit,
delete, join) + CreatePodForm; App fetches+mutates via API. Removes teams.ts/
TeamCard; gitignores test artifacts.

Replace the single join form with a richer UI: team cards (members as
avatars, repo, description), a member picker, and a post-join PodView showing
pod members (you highlighted) plus a PodMan panel with a slot for live
intervention cards. Adds Avatar/TeamCard/PodView components.

If the backend returns the placeholder LiveKit URL, skip the real connect and
screen capture and drop into the post-join state (with a DEV MODE banner) so
the connected UI is developable without LiveKit creds or HTTPS. Real joins
also guard getDisplayMedia behind isSecureContext.

Replace free-text name/pod inputs with select-only dropdowns (pick a team,
then yourself from its members) for fast R&D iteration. Demo teams live in
lib/teams.ts until pods are persisted.

Vite + React + TS + Tailwind v4, installable PWA. Join-pod UI that fetches a
LiveKit token from the backend, connects to the pod room, and publishes screen
+ mic so PodMan can watch.
