   Column" toggle buttons in `ae_comp__events_menu_opts.svelte` and `event_page_menu.svelte`

+- [x] **Presenter QR matched to session QR pattern (2026-06-16)** — `show__session_qr` /
+  `show__presenter_qr` are the admin-set **global default for everyone**, signed in or not.
+  `show_content__*_qr` is a **trusted-staff-only local override**, used when the admin has
+  NOT enabled QR globally. The session QR side already worked this way (fixed earlier today);
+  presenter QR was still on the old buggy logic requiring `show_content__presenter_qr` to be
+  true even when the admin had enabled it for everyone, which non-trusted users (presenters)
+  have no way to set. Fixed `presenter_view.svelte` (generation effect + display block) to
+  `show__presenter_qr || (trusted_access && show_content__presenter_qr)`. Also corrected two
+  toggle-button visibility bugs found along the way: `ae_comp__events_menu_opts.svelte` was
+  showing the QR toggle to all `authenticated_access` users (not just trusted) whenever the
+  admin had enabled QR globally, even though the toggle had no effect for them; and
+  `presenter_page_menu.svelte`'s QR toggle was gated to `administrator_access`, hiding it from
+  plain Trusted onsite staff entirely. Both now use the canonical pattern from
+  `session_page_menu.svelte`: `trusted_access && !show__*_qr`.
