OnDisconnectedAsync told friends a player went offline, but nothing ever
pushed the opposite transition — PlayerCameOnline existed in
NotificationService with zero callers. The pair was asymmetric, so a SignalR
reconnect (network blip, replica restart) greyed the player out on every
friend's list for the rest of the session even though they were still
playing. Only re-entering a room, which pushes presence via /goto, brought
them back.
AddConnectionAsync already computed the first-connection transition to
maintain the online set but returned void; it now reports it, mirroring
RemoveConnectionAsync.
The push is deliberately conditional on a room already being known. The
presence payload derives isOnline from roomInstance being non-null, so
pushing with no room reads as OFFLINE — worse than staying quiet. On a fresh
boot there is no room yet and the /goto that follows sends the real presence
anyway, so this only fires on reconnects, where the cached room is exactly
what friends need to see again.

Re-import after adding:
- DorkNet.ClientMod/dorknet-clientmod.json.template — config schema
the launcher's manifest-driven patcher renders into UserData/.
- tools/build-patcher-zip.ps1 — produces the dorknet-clientpatch-{key}.zip
Release asset the launcher fetches.
- .github/workflows/release.yml — auto-publishes both Release assets
on v1-december-* tag push.
Scrubbed via maintainer-side scrub-for-public.ps1: same drop rules as
the prior import, plus build-patcher-zip.ps1 added to the tools/
allow-list so it survives the scrub.
