Summary

The presence indicator (active-user avatars in the top toolbar) shows a
different number of connected users depending on which entry point is
used to view the same board:

The owner view shows fewer avatars (e.g. 1).
The shared-link view shows more avatars (e.g. 4).
for the same board at the same moment.

The two should agree because they are displaying the same set of active
sessions.

Steps to reproduce

Open a board in tab A via the owner URL.
Open the same board in tab B via the shared link.
Optionally open additional viewers / let other users join.
Compare the avatar count in the top toolbar between tab A and tab B.

Expected

Both views show the same set of active-user avatars at any given moment,
and the list updates live as users join or leave — without requiring a
reload.

Actual

The two views disagree on the number of avatars. Reloading either tab
brings it in sync with the actual session count.
