-## 🔴 CMSC Charlotte — May 27 (Presentation Management)
-**Post-show hardening only**
+## 🔴 LCI October — Pres Mgmt Restoration (in progress 2026-06-12)
+
+These features regressed over the last 6 months and must be working before the LCI conference.
+Reference commit for original working implementation: `bb993a102`.
+
+### Session POC (Champion/Moderator) — `session_view.svelte`
+
+**Root cause of visible bugs:** The POC section is placed *below* the session hero card as a
+separate disconnected block. In the original it was part of a structured `<ul>` with the session
+name, code, datetime, location, and description all together. The current layout looks and feels
+wrong to users.
+
+- [x] **[Pres Mgmt] POC section — move inside session hero card** (2026-06-12)
+  Restructured hero card as a `<ul>` with datetime, room, and POC as rows inside the card.
+  Session name and code are now always visible (not just in edit_mode — that was a bug).
+
+- [x] **[Pres Mgmt] POC assignment — "Select Person" flow broken** (2026-06-12)
+  Gated the select editor on `person_options_loaded` (`Object.keys($slct.person_obj_kv).length > 0`).
+  "Select Person" button renders as "Reload Person" after list is loaded.
+
+- [x] **[Pres Mgmt] Email Session POC sign-in link — UI missing** (2026-06-12)
+  Restored email button in POC row with `sending/sent/error` state feedback.
+  Shown when `require__session_agree && show__email_access_link && poc_person_primary_email`.
+
+- [x] **[Pres Mgmt] Copy Session POC access link — UI missing from session view** (2026-06-12)
+  Restored inline `MyClipboard` copy button in POC row for trusted staff.
+  Shown when `show__copy_access_link && trusted_access && poc_sign_in_url`.
+
+### Presenter Sign-In
+
+- [ ] **[Pres Mgmt] Presenter email sign-in link routes to wrong page**
+  `email_sign_in__event_presenter()` builds a URL to `/presenter/[id]?person_id=...&person_pass=...`.
+  The URL param parser (`sign_in_out.svelte`) is only mounted on the *session* page menu, not the
+  presenter page. A presenter clicking their email link lands on their page with no auth granted.
+  Fix: mount `Sign_in_out` in `presenter_page_menu.svelte` (same way session menu does it), or
+  change the email link to route to the session page (which already has the parser) and include
+  the presenter/presentation IDs as params — which is how it worked originally.
+
+- [ ] **[Pres Mgmt] Presenter agreement not enforced before file upload**
+  `require__presenter_agree` is stored and displayed but the upload components are gated on
+  `auth__kv.presenter[id]` only, not on `presenter.agree`. A presenter who signs in but has not
+  agreed can still upload. The original blocked the upload section until `agree === true`.
+
+### Session POC Sign-In
+
+- [ ] **[Pres Mgmt] `session_page_menu.svelte` sign-in prop still wrong**
+  `event_session_id` prop passed to `Sign_in_out` was just changed from `event_id` to
+  `event_session_id` — verify this is actually `$lq__event_session_obj?.event_session_id`
+  (the real session ID string) not the URL param `url_session_id`. The sign-in component
+  uses this value to set `auth__kv.session[event_session_id]`.
+

 - [ ] **[Launcher/Electron] Wallpaper reliability (post-CMSC)**
   - [ ] Use timestamp/randomized temp filename so macOS always sees a new path.
