* M9: real-time collaboration protocol (design)
docs/collab-protocol.md: WebSocket sessions with a server-ordered,
per-property last-writer-wins document sync, client-scoped ids,
fractional positions for children, ephemeral presence (cursors,
selections, follow), per-user undo, hosting from the app first and a
self-hosted server next, and the implementation plan. ROADMAP gains M9.

* M9: collaboration core: ids, change sets, server ordering, convergence
Step 1 of docs/collab-protocol.md, no networking:
- Client-scoped node ids: Document::set_client_id makes alloc_id hand out
client << 32 | counter; single-user files allocate as before; the id
counter is no longer part of document equality.
- crates/collab (layer 2): the synced object/property model (every saved
Node field, plus document-level styles, comments, variables, images,
dev snapshots, library data), Change batches, an O(changed) diff, strict
and lenient apply, fractional sibling positions, snapshots.
- Server (ordering, validation, rejects with fixes) and Client (optimistic
view, replay under remote batches, author-side repair of derived data)
as pure state machines; binary (version byte + postcard, JSON values) and
JSON message forms, fuzzed decoders.
- Engine: normalize as the recompute hook, collab.diff.
- Tests: round trips over random real commands, an N-client convergence
fuzz test over delayed in-order links, junk batches.

* M9: fmt after merge
* M9: live sessions: host from the app, invite links, live cursors and presence
Step 2 of docs/collab-protocol.md, networking and presence half:
- crates/collab-net (layer 6): WebSocket transport (sync tungstenite, a
reader and a writer thread per connection, no async runtime), the
session host the app embeds (runs figcraft_collab::Server as the
authority, carries its messages), invite links, presence throttling
(~30 Hz, latest wins), limits (sockets, hello/idle timeouts, message
size, rate, slow clients), keep-alive, clean close, reconnect with
backoff; a browser stand-in until the web-sys client (step 4).
- engine: live session state (status, peers, presence, follow) and the
collab.host/stop/join/leave/peers/follow/cursor commands; the network
is reached only through the LiveLink the app installs.
- ui-egui: remote cursors (pointer drawn in code, name tag, gliding),
selection outlines (once documents sync), avatars in the right panel
with follow, the Share popover (start, invite link + URL with Copy,
stop), File > Join live session.
- desktop app and MCP headless session install the link; xtask layers
keeps networking crates out of L0-L5.
- Documents don't sync between apps yet (follow-up).

* M9: live sessions: document sync between apps
- The host's session runs figcraft_collab::Server seeded with the shared
document; every app (the host's too, through the hub without a socket)
is a collab Client. Guests open the host's file from the welcome as a
new tab; leaving keeps it as a local copy.
- Engine: after each local action (a gesture once it ends; nothing during
version or text previews) the session document is diffed into one
Changes batch; server batches go through Client::receive with
EngineRecompute and are installed with Session::apply_remote, which
never touches the undo history. Batches arriving mid-gesture wait.
- Transport: Changes/Reject/Welcome reach the engine as Event::Sync;
LiveLink::send carries batches in order; hellos are limited to 64 KiB,
joined clients to the core's message size.
- Tests: engine sync against a real Server (ids in the client's space,
one batch per gesture, remote edits skip undo, deferral, closing the
file leaves), three apps over loopback converging (create, move,
recolour, delete, rename) and a late joiner getting the server's state.
- Docs: collab-protocol, mcp, README, roadmap docs; the UI's
"cursors only" note is gone, replaced by the per-person undo caveat.
