What to build

When Discord is running, the player's Discord profile shows what they're doing in Blur: in menus, the event/mode and track during a race, and lobby status (e.g. online lobby, 3/20 players). Talks to Discord's local IPC socket directly (no SDK). It has an on/off option in the game's Options menu, and does nothing quietly when Discord isn't running or is closed mid-session.

Acceptance criteria

Discord shows Blur as the current activity, with the state changing between menu, race (mode + track) and lobby
Lobby status shows player count and updates as it changes
No errors, stalls or log spam when Discord isn't running; reconnects if Discord starts later
Option off: no presence is published
Verified on BLUR_ENGINE=recomp

Implemented Discord Rich Presence (src/host/discord.cpp): talks to discord-ipc-N unix socket directly, polls the game-state feed (#2) on a background thread, no guest-thread cost. Activity: "In the menus" / "Racing: " + event / "In a multiplayer lobby" + track + party size n/20. Options > Graphics > "Discord Rich Presence" Off/On (default On; persisted as DiscordPresence). Reconnects every 5s if Discord is absent, closed mid-session or started later; logs only connect/disconnect/handshake-failure once. Off = socket closed, nothing published. Verified on BLUR_ENGINE=recomp against a fake IPC server: connect after late start, menu -> career race (SPA Barcelona Oval 2 / StreetRace), close + reconnect republishes; Options row screenshot shows the row. ctest discord (fake-server unit test incl. option-off, reconnect) passes. NOT done: needs a real Discord application id - kDefaultClientId in discord.cpp is a placeholder; set the real one or BLUR_DISCORD_CLIENT_ID. Toggle-off click not driven in-game (covered by unit test). /comment-check findings fixed.

Real Discord application id set (kDefaultClientId). Verified against the live Discord client on BLUR_ENGINE=recomp (career_race): log shows "[discord] connected" (the old placeholder id was rejected: "handshake failed"). A SET_ACTIVITY with the same id returned the activity as "Blur" (application_id 1561111597387087972). Rest as in previous comment: menu / race+track / lobby+party states, quiet reconnect, Options > Graphics toggle. ctest discord, game_state, state_ws pass.
