 **Effort:** 1-2 days.
 
+### 23. Peer session persistence ("welcome back")
+
+When a peer disconnects, their state is lost (groups, profile, visibility, stats, summary). On reconnect they start blank. Persist peer state so returning peers resume where they left off.
+
+**What persists (keyed by meshId + memberId):**
+- Groups and roles
+- Profile (avatar, title, bio, capabilities)
+- Visibility setting
+- Last summary
+- Cumulative stats (messages, tool calls across all sessions)
+- Last seen timestamp
+
+**What resets:** status (always "idle" on connect), WebSocket/presenceId (ephemeral).
+
+**Reconnect flow:**
+1. Peer sends hello with same `memberId`
+2. Broker looks up `peer_state` table for (meshId, memberId)
+3. If found: restore groups, profile, visibility, stats — hello fields take precedence if explicitly set
+4. Enriched `hello_ack` includes `restored: true` and previous summary
+5. System notification: `"Welcome back, Alice! Last seen 2h ago. Restored: @frontend:lead, @devops:member"`
+6. On disconnect: upsert current state to `peer_state`
+
+**Why:** AI sessions restart often (context limits, crashes, new tasks). Without persistence, every reconnect requires manual group joins and profile setup. With it, the mesh remembers who you are.
+
+**Effort:** Half day.
