  "summary": "The brief outlines a 4-layer design for implementing room permissions in a concert livestream chat, specifically for health sessions with live polls. The approach emphasizes treating presence as an observed signal rather than a fact, and focuses on model room permissions as short-lived capabilities enforced at every message boundary. The key actions to protect are poll:read, poll:vote, chat:send, and room:moderate, with an emphasis on keeping these decisions independent from transport. The design recommends starting with a deny-by-default approach, granting the smallest action set for the shortest useful interval, and rechecking capabilities when a poll changes state. The brief also highlights the importance of separate moderation paths for chat and polls, and the need for a separate presence tracking mechanism that records a heartbeat timestamp and connection sequence.",
