Switch to @lotusguild/element-call-embedded@0.20.1-lotus.1 (our self-built
fork) and turn on the source-level features it adds:
- #1 denoise CUTOVER: in-source ML denoise (lotusDenoiseSource=1) replaces
the build-time getUserMedia shim — removed the shim injection from
vite.config.js (denoise/ assets still shipped; the processor loads them).
Survives reconnects (fixes A7).
- #2 call-state: CallEmbed consumes io.lotus.call_state; useCallSpeakers /
useRemoteAllMuted prefer it over scraping EC's DOM (DOM fallback kept;
empty payloads ignored).
- #4 focus: CallControl.focusCameraParticipant sends io.lotus.focus_participant
(works during screenshare), replacing the DOM tile-click hack.
- #5 theming: lotusTransparent=1 (native transparent background).
- #6 decorations: LotusDecorationPusher sends each member's decoration URL
via io.lotus.decorations -> rendered on in-call tiles.
#3 soundboard / #7 quality ship dormant (EC-ready; no host UI sends them yet).

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).
