1. Microphone notice (only when the microphone check is pending)

Body reads "Microphone access is ready. Join when you are ready."

2. Call stage until Ada is in (O1: avatar hero, default)

Same avatar and pulse as a placed call, without the mode line.

O1 alternative: icon hero

The stage a group join already shows while its roster arrives. It cannot name Ada.

3. While waiting: sound (O7)

(a), default: silence, no ringback. (b): after 10 s without Ada, the subtitle names who Ben waits for; visual only. (c): a softer, sparser waiting cue distinct from the ringback; it needs a new sound file, so it cannot be shown here.

4. Strip empty label

The gallery strip's label while Ada's tile has not landed.

5. Rail (same-window calls, O5)

Today it reads Starting, Connecting, Calling, then In call. Proposed: Connecting throughout, then In call.

6. Ada does not answer within 60 s (O2)

7. Ada declines (O2)

Without a name

Outcomes without a name keep "No answer" and "Call declined".

1. Auto-answered call before Ben's tile lands

Within 1 minute of sending, where a call can open without a click. No ringback either way.

2. Card instead of auto-answer (O4, O6)

Past 1 minute, web popup mode, or another of her windows. Today: "Ben" / "Joined your call invite" with Decline, Accept with video and Accept. The ringtone stays (O6).

3. Microphone notice on that Join

4. OS notification and tab title, while her window is in the background

Body: the conversation's name, or Call invite.

5. Ada is already in another call

The ring arrives as the card, with the ringtone, while her current call keeps running. "Your call" means the invite call, not the one on screen; the sign-off covers this copy (O6).

O3: every direct session that does not ring

Accepting any direct ring, Return to a call, rejoin after leaving, and a group Return. Each reads Calling today.
