startLotusDecorations's last teardown deliberately wipesdecorations = {}, andstartLotusFocus's teardown drops the handler while the pin lives on the (possibly recreated) view model. The host's re-arm path after a reconnect,CallControl.resendForkState(), only resendsset_deafenandset_quality— notdecorationsand notfocus_participant.LotusDecorationPusherpushes only on a change to itsmap.current, so with an unchanged member list it never re-sends. Any EC-side remount ofInCallView/ActiveCallthat does not also unmount the host pusher therefore loses all avatar decorations (and the pin) permanently for the remainder of the call.How to trigger
EC reconnect /
ActiveCallremount while cinny stays joined (cinny's own comment at CallControl.ts:170 states the fork handlers "remount on reconnect"). Decorations disappear from tiles and never come back.Suggested fix
add
decorations(and the current focus pin) toresendForkState(), or have EC re-request state on handler registration; alternatively drop thedecorations = {}wipe and key the roster by call id.Filed from the September 2026 audit (branch
lotus).
