Awareness presence table: offline notices log removals of absent clients · case 03

Removal events are emitted for clients that were never present.

Member previewVariant 3 · 3 implementations · 9 checks per implementation

Case contract

Presence updates ["update", client, clock, state|None, now] are accepted when clock exceeds the last accepted clock for that client, or when it equals it, the state is None and the client is present. Accepted updates record the clock; a None state removes the client (logging a removal only if it was present); otherwise [state, now] is stored. ["tick", now] removes, in client order, every client other than self_id whose last update is at least timeout old. Return present [client, state] pairs and the removal log.

Why this case matters

Ephemeral presence rides alongside document CRDTs and must neither resurrect departed peers nor expire the local user.
