 The browser tab title updates to reflect unread state:
 
-- `(N) Lotus Chat` — N unread messages
-- `· Lotus Chat` — unread activity without a specific count
+- `(N) Lotus Chat` — N mentions / keyword highlights (the count is highlights, not total unread)

 - [x] **[Med]** `PresenceBadge` renders DND (`unavailable` + `status_msg:'dnd'`) as a **yellow "Idle"** badge + label, while `PresenceRingAvatar` correctly shows **red** — inconsistent. Give the badge the same `status === 'dnd' → Critical` + "Do Not Disturb" branch. `Presence.tsx:17-59`. **FIXED** (`29ff1654`): badge now matches the ring + settings picker (Critical / "Do Not Disturb", `'dnd'` sentinel line suppressed).
-- [ ] **[Med]** Collapsible-message threshold is hardcoded (`COLLAPSE_MAX_HEIGHT = 320`), but the docs claim it's "configurable in Settings → Appearance (default 20 lines)" — unimplemented. Add the setting + control, or fix the doc. `MsgTypeRenderers.tsx:38`.
+- [x] **[Med]** Collapsible-message threshold is hardcoded (`COLLAPSE_MAX_HEIGHT = 320`), but the docs claim it's "configurable in Settings → Appearance (default 20 lines)" — unimplemented. Add the setting + control, or fix the doc. `MsgTypeRenderers.tsx:38`. **FIXED** (doc): LOTUS_FEATURES now describes the fixed 320px (≈20-line) threshold; the full 320px is sensible and a per-user setting wasn't worth the surface — reconciled the doc rather than build a marginal setting.
 - [x] **[Med/Low]** In-app toast container has no visible cap / scroll — a burst of messages across rooms while focused stacks toasts unbounded and can cover the viewport. Cap visible N or `overflow-y:auto` + max-height. `LotusToastContainer.tsx:223-247`. **FIXED** (`1963222d`): queue capped at 5 in the atom writer (drops oldest non-sticky, never the newest or a sticky action toast) + container maxHeight/overflow + scroll-to-newest; +4 tests. (3 review passes — the 2nd caught a newest-dropped edge when the cap is full of stickies.)
 - [x] **[Low]** "Unread First" room sort leaves the (larger) read portion unordered — no activity fallback for the equal-unread case. `Home.tsx:213-222`. **FIXED** (`1963222d`): `factoryRoomIdByUnread` breaks ties by recent activity; relocated to `utils/sort.ts` (pure) + unit-tested.
