fix(presence): reset stale users.status on boot; drop REST-login online write
users.status was only flipped back to offline by the WebSocket disconnect path (5s grace timer in ConnectionManager). Process exits (deploy/crash/OOM) lose those in-memory timers, freezing any non-offline row at its last value and making the user appear permanently online to friends and space co-members. Confirmed in production on the Pi instance: a user appeared online for ~3 days with no live socket. Add resetStalePresenceOnBoot() in utils/presenceBoot.ts and call it from index.ts after getDb()/seedDatabase() and before WebSocket route registration. The reset is federation-safe: it only updates rows where home_instance IS NULL (replicated stubs are projections of remote presence and must not be stomped) and is_deleted = 0 (tombstoned users are excluded from broadcasts). Also remove the redundant status='online' write from POST /api/auth/login. A successful REST login does not imply a live socket; the WS auth handshake is the single source of truth. Login alone could otherwise produce the same stuck-online row when a client logs in and never establishes a WS. Tests cover: locally-homed online/idle/dnd reset, replicated rows untouched, tombstoned rows untouched, idempotence, mixed populations. Updates docs/systems/activity-presence.md (Connect/Disconnect Flow, new Boot Reset section) and docs/systems/auth.md (login no longer mutates status).

8. Sign JWT, return `{ token, user }`. **Note:** Login does NOT mutate `users.status`. A successful login does not by itself imply a live connection (the client may never establish a WebSocket due to network failure, mobile background, error path); writing `'online'` here would produce a permanently stuck-online row that no disconnect timer cleans up. The WebSocket auth path (`ws/handler.ts`) is the single source of truth for `status = 'online'`. See `docs/systems/activity-presence.md` "Boot Reset" for the mitigation that runs on server start.
