A seat lived in the browser's storage alone, and Safari clears that after a week away, or at a word from the person on another device. Now every seat taken is banked as well in an HttpOnly cookie the server writes, which such clearing leaves alone, and the hall takes its seats back from the bank on arrival. For a browser that lost even the cookie, the ledger notes the address each seat was last used from, as a salted hash, at most once in ten minutes, and a name given in the hall or at the duel gets its seats back from the same address, with a new token; where the address differs, two people at the duel share it, or the host gave the seat to a bot, the duel is only counted, and the host's phrase or the keeper's link is the way back. The keeper's script finds a name across duels. The seat endpoints answer only this site's own pages, under a limit of their own.
