Presence

A member's real-time availability signal. Presence records the member's current status, availability, and the runtime they are using.

Fields:

• status — online / away / offline
• availability — open / busy / focus / invisible
• visibility — public / circle / private
• context — optional free-text string describing current activity
• runtime — the client environment the member is using (e.g. web.elonn)

Allowed:

• presence signal
• presence status
• presence record
• online presence

Forbidden:

• online status (acceptable in UI prose; not the technical noun)
• activity status (activity is a separate object; see: activity)
• indicator (describes UI rendering, not the object)

Notes:

• A member with visibility = 'circle' is only visible to their inner circle members.
• A member with visibility = 'private' is only visible to themselves.
• Presence is updated by the client via POST /social/presence. It is not derived.
• availability = 'invisible' does not mean status = 'offline' — a member can be invisible while online.
• The runtime field identifies which client the member is present in, not a world runtime contract.
