 /**
- * A horizontal stack of overlapping avatars for the recent posters in a channel — the "who's here"
- * cue that makes a busy channel feel alive. Each avatar wears a thin ring in the row's background
- * colour so the overlap reads as a deck of cards; the newest poster sits on top (leftmost, highest
- * z-index). Renders nothing for an empty [authorHexes], so callers can drop it in unconditionally.
+ * A horizontal strip of the recent posters in a channel — the "who's here" cue that makes a busy
+ * channel feel alive. Each poster is drawn with the app's standard profile avatar
+ * ([ClickableUserPicture]), so it carries the same following badge (top-right) and trust-score tag
+ * (bottom-centre) shown everywhere else a user appears, instead of a bare cropped image. Laid out
+ * with a small gap rather than an overlapping stack so those badges stay readable; the newest poster
+ * is leftmost. Renders nothing for an empty [authorHexes], so callers can drop it in unconditionally.
