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 wallet 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 lobby or from the gallery gets its seats back from the same address, with a new token; where the address differs, two people at the table share it, or the host gave the seat to the clockwork, the table is only counted, and the host's phrase or the keeper's link is the way back. A name refused as taken is looked for the same way before the refusal shows. The keeper's script finds a name across tables. The seat endpoints answer only this site's own pages, under a limit of their own.
