Camera defaults off (cameraOnJoin), but if it was left on, the user appears on video the instant they join. Verify what the EC lobby shows today (the fork's lobby has a self-preview; is it obvious on mobile / when auto-joining a persistent voice room without a lobby?).
Scope
Any join path that skips the lobby (persistent voice rooms, answer-with-video, auto-rejoin) must show a one-line pre-join notice when the camera will be on: "Joining with camera on" with a Join without camera alternative. Nothing when the camera will be off.
Never a modal for the audio-only case.

### Scope
- Any join path that skips the lobby (persistent voice rooms, answer-with-video, auto-rejoin) must show a one-line pre-join notice when the camera will be on: **"Joining with camera on"** with a *Join without camera* alternative. Nothing when the camera will be off.
- Never a modal for the audio-only case.
Voice-room prescreen — has the camera toggle in view (and it's disabled unless Join with Camera On is enabled), so it's already obvious.
Sidebar second-click join / auto-rejoin — uses the session video pref, which is only ever true after the user turned the camera on themselves in a prescreen this session, and that toggle is gated by the same setting. It never persists across loads. So no silent camera there.
Answering a video call with Join with Camera On enabled — the one path that put you on camera without a word.
Done in the last commit for that path: the incoming dialog and the in-call banner say "Answering turns your camera on.", the primary button reads Answer with camera, and there is an Answer without camera alternative. Voice calls / setting off: unchanged (plain Answer, no modal, no extra line).
Verified headless: video call + setting on → notice + both buttons; Answer without camera joins with videoEnabled=false; voice call → plain Answer.
