Neither participant could get rid of a DM at all -- Leave/Delete were
both deliberately hidden for DMs during the initial build to sidestep
an edge case (removing a membership would break find_or_create_dm's
exactly-two-members assumption), but that left no way out whatsoever.
RoomMembership.hidden_at is a per-viewer display flag, not a
membership deletion: hiding a DM only sets it on your own membership
row, so it disappears from just your sidebar without touching the
other participant's copy or any messages. It's automatically cleared
(reappearing) in two cases: a new message arrives in the room
(broadcast_new_message), or find_or_create_dm resolves back to the
same room because either person re-opens it from the People list --
both count as the conversation being active again.
Also fixes two now-flaky tests (test_message_edit, test_reactions):
broadcast_new_message doing more work before returning shifted timing
enough to expose a pre-existing race where a per-user-channel frame
(desktop_notification/unread_update) could legitimately arrive before
a connection's own "joined" ack. Broadened their existing _recv()
noise-filtering helper (already used for member_updated) to cover
those types too, and used it at the two call sites that were reading
raw receive_json() instead.

Every avatar in the app (chat messages, room member list, your own
avatar in the top bar/profile, the admin user list, the room-invite
search) now shows a green/red presence dot. Also adds a global
"Appear offline" toggle in the account menu, letting a user lurk in a
room undetected -- it overrides the real connection state everywhere,
not per-room.
Backend: new GlobalPresence (backend/app/ws/global_presence.py), a
cross-instance Redis-backed connection tracker parallel to the
existing per-room Presence, incremented/decremented on WS connect/
disconnect. A new users.appear_offline column (migration
f0f6e494454a) always wins over actual connection state when computing
displayed status. RoomMemberRead gained a computed `status` field;
add_member/change_member_role/list_room_members all compute it via a
shared _member_status() helper. Connect/disconnect and profile
updates (display_name, avatar, appear_offline) all broadcast
member_updated to every room the user belongs to, reusing the
broadcast infrastructure from the earlier avatar-staleness fix, so
chat surfaces update live with no new WS envelope type needed. A new
GET /api/users/online gives the admin list and user-search a snapshot
(deliberately not live -- see backend/app/routers/users.py) for
surfaces where "accurate as of page load" is good enough.
Frontend: UserAvatar renders an optional status dot; every call site
threads status/appear_offline through from whichever data source it
already has (room members, the current user, or the new online-ids
snapshot for admin/search).
4 new backend tests (backend/tests/test_presence.py); existing
broadcast-adjacent WS tests updated to tolerate the new member_updated
noise on connect. Verified end-to-end in the browser with two real
users: presence dot flips live on connect/disconnect via the existing
room-broadcast channel, and the lurk toggle correctly forces offline
while still connected.

Composer gains an emoji picker (static curated unicode list, insert at
cursor position) and messages gain Slack/Mattermost-style reactions:
react with any emoji, toggle off by reacting again, see who reacted via
a tooltip on each pill.
Backend: MessageReaction model (unique on message_id+user_id+emoji backs
toggle semantics), WS "reaction" envelope broadcasts the full recomputed
reaction list per message (same approach as message edits), REST message
list embeds reactions so a reload doesn't lose state that only arrived
over WS.
Frontend: shared EmojiPicker component (anchored popover, Escape/outside-
click dismiss via new useEscapeKey hook) used by both the composer and a
new hover-revealed reaction trigger on each message row.
