State Management

Drawer State

interface AdminState {
  open: boolean;
  users: {
    id: string;
    name: string;
    color: string;
    self: boolean;
    status: 'active' | 'idle';
    idleMinutes?: number;
    query?: string;
    typing: boolean;
    krateIds: string[];
  }[];
  focusedUserId: string | null;
}

User State

interface UserPresence {
  userId: string;
  name: string;
  color: string;
  lastActive: number;          // timestamp
  lastTyping: number;          // timestamp
  spotlightQuery: string | null;
  openKrates: KratePresence[];
}

interface KratePresence {
  krateId: string;
  label: string;
  viewCount: number;
  views: string[];             // ['Y', 'D', 'L', 'S']
  status: string;              // from first window
}

Gotchas

1. Self-updates: User's own card must show real-time state, not cached data
2. Focus management: Keep focus on drawer when open, trap Tab cycle
3. Idle detection: 60 seconds of no activity = idle
4. Typing indicator: Debounce by 1000ms after last keypress
5. Spectate behavior: Close admin panel first, THEN fly camera
6. Roster overflow: Handle >10 users gracefully (scroll, paginate, or truncate)
