The presence band grades from the vouched horizons — active-turn / fresh / recent / dark

The consumer half of #16737's banded-presence AC — the final split leaf (siblings: #16787 the contract, #16927 the capability chip, #16931 the producer vouching, all delivered). Unblocked tonight by PR #16934's merge: verbose who_is_online rows now carry signals.turnPresence.freshUntil/expiresAt on every active row.

Context

#16737's AC, verbatim: "Banded presence vocabulary (active-turn / fresh / recent / dark) from the beacon horizons (freshUntil/expiresAt) — never boolean online/offline (70-min-turn flap specimen is the falsifier)." The producer half is merged; nothing consumes the horizons yet — the cockpit still renders the plane's own coarse state vocabulary (online/idle/dark/…), which cannot distinguish "mid-turn RIGHT NOW" (a fresh beacon) from "wrote a memory recently" (activity recency), and flaps on long turns exactly as the specimen describes.

The Fix

Consumer-side grading in ai/services/fleet/fleetPresenceStateAdapter.mjs (the one presence producer→render seam):

  1. A pure exported gradePresenceBand({state, signals, now}): active-turn (a fresh beacon — signals.turnPresence.fresh === true, horizons vouched) → fresh (plane state online without a fresh beacon: recent add_memory) → recent (plane state idle: outside freshness, within the idle cutoff) → dark (plane state dark) — with benched/neverConnected passing through untouched (membership facts, not recency grades) and any unreadable row keeping today's honest unknown. The plane's own verdict stays the authority for its half (no second clock: the grade DERIVES from vouched horizons + the plane's own states, it never re-computes liveness).
  2. The adapter emits the graded band on its existing per-row contract (closed enum extended: active-turn + fresh + recent join; online/idle retire from the RENDER vocabulary but stay accepted inputs).
  3. AgentCard's PRESENCE_BAND_LABEL gains the new vocabulary (◉ active turn, ◉ fresh, ◉ recent, ◉ dark); tier-degradation unchanged (absent/unknown renders nothing).

Acceptance Criteria

  • gradePresenceBand matrix: fresh-beacon rows grade active-turn regardless of activity freshness (the 70-min-turn flap falsifier: stale add_memory + fresh beacon = active-turn, never a flap to dark); online-no-beacon → fresh; idle → recent; dark → dark; benched/neverConnected/unknown pass through; malformed signals fail to today's behavior, never a fabricated grade.
  • Adapter emits the graded vocabulary on the existing envelope (capability semantics untouched); card renders the new labels; specs in both spec homes.
  • Post-merge: live receipt once the deployed plane serves vouched horizons (the plane currently runs pre-#16934 code; the contract is spec-proven until the next rebuild).

Out of Scope

Viewer scoping (S5, still gated) · the roster-level chip (delivered #16927) · plane-side band computation (deliberately client-graded from vouched facts per #16931's design).
