Phase 5 — live-session & multi-device hardening:
- connectivityStore + SyncStatusIndicator in the shell: shows "Offline" when the
browser is offline and the cloud autosave state (saving / saved / failed) when
signed in; useCloudAutosave now reports its status. Owns online/offline events.
- server presence heartbeat: protocol-level ping/pong per socket terminates a
vanished connection (~30s), so a player who closes their laptop drops out of
the GM's roster instead of lingering. No client changes needed.
Phase 6 — onboarding & friction:
- navigation: surfaced the previously orphaned routes in the rail — a new
"World" group (Notes, NPCs, Quests, Calendar) and Homebrew + Assistant under
Reference. (Empty-state hints and map rename already existed.)
- combat keyboard control: n/→ next turn, p/← previous turn, guarded so it never
fires while typing; button tooltips document it.
Test hygiene: scoped now-ambiguous nav links in e2e to the Primary landmark, and
fixed pre-existing stale emoji selectors in the realtime suite (📡 Host → Host,
📨 Just for you → Just for you) left over from the Living Codex emoji purge.
Gate green: tsc + 277 unit + 34 e2e + 2 realtime. App + server build clean.

- Autosave: while signed in, a debounced full backup pushes whenever durable data
changes (useCloudAutosave watches a fingerprint of the main tables; high-churn
tables excluded). No-op signed out.
- Campaign-agnostic characters: PCs are now global — the Characters roster shows
every player character regardless of active campaign, and any PC can be added to
a fight. NPCs stay per-campaign. (charactersRepo.listAllPcs / useAllPcs; difficulty
fallback stays campaign-scoped.)
- Live "bring your own character": a joining player can push one of their own local
characters; the GM's grant inserts it into the campaign and seats them.
- Character builder: a system picker (5e / PF2e, defaults to the campaign) so creation
no longer assumes 5e; PF2e skill wording ("Trained" vs "proficient"); spell step now
explains how many to pick + that they're known spells prepared later.
230 unit + 34 e2e + 2 realtime green.
