+## [4.7.0] — 2026-05-07 — Peer-presence events for instant `BroadcastChannel` revoke
+
+`BroadcastChannel.removeMember` (v4.6) is the right primitive for revoking a
+paired peer's sender-key membership when, say, a tab closes or a laptop
+locks — but until now there was no signal saying "this peer's bridge just
+went away". Apps had to fall back to client-side heartbeats:
+`apps/web/src/shade/heartbeat.ts`-style 20s pings + a 10s GC sweep, with a
+~45s worst-case revoke window. For a terminal-mirroring product whose
+threat model includes *"someone takes the unattended laptop"*, 45s of
+legitimate broadcast access for the attacker is too long.
+
+This release surfaces the bridge-connection-lifecycle signal that
+`createBridgeRoutes` already had internally. The inbox event bus now emits
+`inbox.peer_connected` / `inbox.peer_disconnected` on the 0↔1 boundary
+across WS + SSE bridges, and a new `/v1/bridge/presence` SSE endpoint plus
+the `PresenceBridge` client class let any authenticated SDK subscribe to
+presence transitions for a watcher-declared address list. The SDK glue
+collapses to ~5 lines:
+
+```ts
+const sub = await new PresenceBridge({ baseUrl, crypto, signingPrivateKey, address }).subscribe({
+  watch: paired_peers,
+  onPresenceChange: (e) => {
+    if (e.status === 'offline') void channel.removeMember(e.address);
+  },
+});
+```
+
+Reported by Prism — collapses Prism's wave-3 heartbeat-based revoke from
+~45s to ~50ms (one network round-trip) for the overwhelmingly common case
+of a clean WS close.
+
+### Added
+
+#### `@shade/inbox-server`
+- `InboxServerEventMap` gains two new event names:
+  - `inbox.peer_connected` — `{ address, bridgeKind: 'ws' | 'sse' }` —
+    fires when an address transitions from zero to ≥1 active push-bridge
+    connections.
+  - `inbox.peer_disconnected` — `{ address, bridgeKind, reason: 'closed' | 'error' }`
+    — fires when the last push-bridge connection for the address closes.
+- New `PresenceTracker` class (`packages/shade-inbox-server/src/presence.ts`)
+  — per-address connection-count map; emits transitions into a wired
+  `InboxServerEvents`. Two parallel bridges (WS + SSE during a fallback
+  handover) collapse into one `peer_connected` / `peer_disconnected`
+  pair so consumers don't see flicker.
+- `createBridgeRoutes` now returns `{ app, websocket, presence }` so
+  operators / tests can read the live presence map. A `presenceTracker`
+  option lets multiple route mounts share state.
+- New `GET /v1/bridge/presence` SSE endpoint:
+  - Auth: signed query `{ address, kind: 'presence', watched: string[],
+    signedAt, signature }` against the watcher's registered owner key.
+    `kind: 'presence'` is bound into the canonical signed payload to
+    prevent cross-endpoint replay against `/v1/bridge/{stream,poll,ws}`.
+  - On open: emits one `event: presence` SSE frame per watched address
+    with the current online/offline snapshot.
+  - On change: streams `{ address, status, at, via: 'ws'|'sse' }` frames
+    filtered server-side to the watcher's address list.
+  - Subscribing does NOT itself count as a peer-bridge connection — a
+    PresenceBridge open will not make the watcher appear online to
+    other watchers.
+  - `MAX_WATCHED_ADDRESSES = 64` per subscription.
+
+#### `@shade/transport-bridge`
+- New `PresenceBridge` class with `subscribe({ watch, onPresenceChange,
+  onError? })` returning `{ addPeer, removePeer, watching, unsubscribe }`.
+- `addPeer` / `removePeer` mutate the watched set by aborting the
+  current SSE connection so the run loop reopens with a fresh signed
+  query. Mutations are expected to be rare (only on pair / unpair) so
+  the brief reconnect gap is acceptable.
+- Auto-reconnect with exponential backoff (250ms → 10s, same defaults
+  as `SseBridge`); `disableAutoReconnect: true` for tests.
+- `signPresenceQuery` helper exported from `@shade/transport-bridge/auth`
+  for non-PresenceBridge consumers (manual EventSource, observability
+  scrapers, etc.).
+
+### Why long-poll is NOT tracked
+
+A long-poll client toggles in/out of `/v1/bridge/poll` every few seconds,
+and treating each request boundary as a presence transition would
+dominate the event stream with flapping. Push transports are also the
+only ones where a ~50ms revoke window matters — long-poll users are
+already on a slow path. Apps that need presence over long-poll continue
+to use client-side heartbeats.
+
+### Tests
+- `packages/shade-transport-bridge/tests/bridge.test.ts` — four blocks
+  covering all acceptance criteria from the request:
+  - **(1)** `WsBridge.connect()` then `disconnect()` → operator's
+    `events.on(...)` sees `inbox.peer_connected` then
+    `inbox.peer_disconnected` with `address: 'alice'`, `bridgeKind: 'ws'`.
+  - **(2A)** Bob subscribes presence on `[alice]`; alice opens a
+    WsBridge → bob's `onPresenceChange` fires `online` within 2s.
+  - **(3)** Bob's `[alice]` subscription must NOT receive frames for
+    an unrelated `carol` address opening her own bridge.
+  - **(4)** Alice's bridge reopens after a drop → bob sees `online`
+    again on the same subscription.
+  - Plus an `addPeer` / `removePeer` regression that verifies the
+    reconnect-on-mutation path delivers a fresh snapshot for the new
+    address and stops delivering for the removed one.
+
+### Migration
+
+None. Strict additive — existing `InboxServerEvents` consumers keep
+working unchanged. `createBridgeRoutes`'s return type added a
+`presence` field; destructuring code that names only `app, websocket`
+keeps compiling.
+
+For Prism specifically: drop the wave-3 heartbeat module
+(`apps/web/src/shade/heartbeat.ts`) on the PC sidecar and replace with
+a `PresenceBridge` subscription on the paired-peer set. Keep the
+heartbeat as a network-partition fallback if you want a belt-and-
+braces revoke story; with presence-events the worst-case revoke window
+drops from ~45s to one server→PC round-trip.
