Shows a dot on rooms with unread messages in the sidebar, updated live
over WebSocket. Reuses the same offline-member audience computation
already used for push notifications: a member gets the real-time signal
whenever they aren't currently connected to that room's channel, which
correctly covers both "room not open" and "room open but tab
backgrounded" (the client leaves a room's channel while hidden).
Persisted server-side via a new room_memberships.last_read_at column so
state survives reload and stays consistent across devices, advanced by
an explicit mark-read call the frontend makes on room-open and on each
live message received while the room is genuinely visible -- gated on a
live visibility check, not a cached ref, so a backgrounded-but-open room
keeps accumulating unread instead of auto-marking-read the instant a
message arrives somewhere it can't be seen.

Lists files and images actually attached to sent messages in a room,
newest first, with click-through to a lightbox, preview modal, or direct
download depending on type. Queries through messages.image_id/file_id
so an upload that was never sent doesn't show up as a phantom entry.

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.

Room info panel is now user-resizable (fixing a layout clip at narrow
widths), and every user-selection spot (room membership, admin ownership
transfer) uses a new searchable UserPicker instead of raw text input or
prompt(). Member rows fold role + actions into a single inline dropdown
instead of a row of buttons, so the member list stays usable as rooms grow.
Room invites (the accept/decline flow) are replaced by adding a user to a
room directly -- an admin/owner picks someone and they're a member
immediately, with a "you've been added" notification email instead of an
invite email. Drops the now-unused room_invites table.
Users can set a display name (shown instead of username in the message
list, room member list, TopBar, and admin Users tab) and upload a real
avatar, replacing the generated color-initial avatars everywhere a user
appears. Avatars are square-cropped and downscaled to 512px, reusing
app/storage.py's upload primitives from image uploads with a new square
option.
Two deliberate divergences from message-image handling, documented in
backend/README.md: the previous avatar file is deleted on replace/remove
(safe since it's strictly one file per user), and avatar serving is not
room-gated and uses a short cache (identity-addressed and mutable, unlike
a message image's permanent content-addressed URL).
Frontend: new ProfileModal reachable from the TopBar account menu;
AuthContext gains updateUser() so a profile change reflects instantly
everywhere without a refetch.
Adds room_invites table + migration, owner/admin/member role enforcement
(require_room_role), and endpoints for private room creation, room
management (update/delete/leave/transfer-ownership/change-role/remove-member),
and the invite lifecycle (create/list/accept/decline/revoke). Registration
stays invite-only via the CLI from Phase 1 — this is a separate, room-level
invite system for adding existing users to private rooms.
Frontend is untouched: the UI redesign is happening separately, so this phase
is backend + tests only (35 passing). Verified no regressions in the Phase 1
open-room/WebSocket flow via manual smoke test.

Invite-only FastAPI + SQLAlchemy(async) + Postgres backend (session-cookie
auth via CLI-provisioned accounts, open-room CRUD, single-instance /ws/chat)
and a React + Vite PWA frontend (login, room list, chat view). Backend tests
pass against a local Postgres DB. See README.md and backend/README.md for
setup, and ARCHITECTURE.md for the full phased design.
