+## Calls
+
+The `lobby` room has a mesh WebRTC call (every pair of browsers connects
+directly; fine for a handful of people, not more). Signaling rides NATS on
+`call.room.<room>` via `/call-sse/<room>` and the `send_signal` server fn, so
+it is never archived. Only a public STUN server is configured: calls across
+symmetric NATs will not connect without a TURN relay, which this app does not
+run.
+
+In a call:
+
+- **MIC / CAM** toggle your mic and camera (the track stays attached and sends
+  silence/black, so toggling is instant and needs no renegotiation).
+- **SCR ▶ share** shares a screen, window, or tab. It swaps the outgoing video
+  track on every peer with `replaceTrack`; your camera comes back when you
+  stop, or when the browser's own "Stop sharing" bar is used.
+- Tiles show the participant's name and MIC ✕ / CAM ✕ / SCR badges, kept in
+  sync by a `Status` signal on the same subject.
+- **Click** a tile to pin it as the stage (a shared screen pins itself);
+  **double-click** for fullscreen.
+- A peer whose tab closes without leaving is dropped once their connection
+  fails, and ICE candidates that arrive before the offer are buffered rather
+  than lost.
+
 ## Notes & production hardening
