+Every listed peer carries `host` (the box it declared at registration), `lastSeenAt`, `leaseExpiresAt`, and `presence`. Presence is the hub's own reading of its heartbeat lease: `online` holds the lease, `stale` has passed `leaseExpiresAt` but has not been swept yet, and `offline` is a registered peer the hub has retired. Offline peers are listed only with `--include-offline`. The host label is a reading aid, never a permission.
