Description
Problem
Current presence indicators are generic and make it hard to identify collaborators.
Tasks
- Render participant avatars (with fallback initials) for active collaborators.
- Use an eye icon for visibility control instead of the generic person icon.
- Ensure keyboard and screen reader users can identify who is present.
Acceptance criteria
- Presence rail shows avatars or initials for collaborators.
- Visibility toggle uses an eye icon and announces state changes to assistive tech.

Research direction
Start by locating the presence indicator and visibility-control entry points in the frontend. Check how collaborator identity, icons, keyboard access, and screen-reader announcements are currently handled. Done means active collaborators show avatars or fallback initials, the toggle uses an eye icon, and its state changes are announced accessibly.
