Captures the plan to fork element-hq/element-call and build it from source for
true ownership of the in-call experience (decorations, focus/screenshare,
reconnect mic, native theming, call-audio injection) — none of which are fixable
against the prebuilt @element-hq/element-call-embedded bundle we ship today.

- New HANDOFF_ELEMENT_CALL_FORK.md: self-contained plan for a fresh session
  (current architecture, full file inventory, phases, new-repo decision, the
  denoise-shim interaction, doc corrections).
- Tagged every related note with [EC-FORK] + links: README (For Developers),
  LOTUS_BUGS (EC limitations), LOTUS_TODO (soundboard, denoise, soundboard
  cross-origin correction), LOTUS_FEATURES (call section).

### 🔱 Planned: Element Call fork ("Lotus Call")
Voice/video channels embed **Element Call**. Today it's a **pre-built npm bundle**
(`@element-hq/element-call-embedded` 0.20.1) copied to `public/element-call/` and
served same-origin; we steer it via the `matrix-widget-api` plus fragile DOM
hacks. Because we don't own its compiled source, several in-call issues (avatar
decorations on tiles, camera focus/fullscreen during screenshare, mic recovery
after reconnect, native theming, real call-audio injection) are unfixable from
outside.
**The plan is to fork `element-hq/element-call` into a new `LotusGuild/element-call`
repo, build it from source, and host our own build** for true ownership. The full
self-contained plan and integration map — written for a fresh session with no
prior context — is in **[`HANDOFF_ELEMENT_CALL_FORK.md`](HANDOFF_ELEMENT_CALL_FORK.md)**.
Infra/hosting notes also live in the `LotusGuild/matrix` repo README. Search the
docs for the **`[EC-FORK]`** tag to find every related note.
