# US-002: Rejoin without a visible identity

As an **unlocked player**, I want to disconnect while invisibility from a potion I drank is active so that my identity is concealed throughout my next session.

## Acceptance criteria

- [x] An unlocked player becomes eligible for a concealed login only by disconnecting while an invisibility effect from a potion they directly drank remains active.
- [x] A player who has not unlocked stealth cannot prepare a concealed login.
- [x] An ordinary disconnect without an active qualifying effect clears any preparation for the next login.
- [x] On a prepared login, no public join announcement is shown.
- [x] Throughout the concealed session, the player is absent from every other player's tab list, including administrators' tab lists.
- [x] Throughout the concealed session, no overhead name tag identifies the player to any other player, including administrators.
- [x] The concealed player's physical character remains visible in the world and retains ordinary movement, interaction, combat, and permission behavior.
- [x] The concealed player receives a private message explaining that stealth is active for the session.
- [x] Concealment lasts until the player disconnects and is handled predictably across death and plugin reload or disable events.
- [x] Disconnecting consumes the current concealed session; another concealed login requires another qualifying potion and qualifying disconnect.
- [x] Merely owning the unlock never conceals an ordinary login or carries concealment automatically into a later session.
- [x] Prepared-login state survives a server restart between the qualifying disconnect and the next login.

## Validation

Automated tests verify unlocked and locked disconnect transitions, ordinary-disconnect clearing, one-login consumption, announcement suppression, private activation messaging, ordinary-login presentation, tab removal for existing and new observers, overhead-name suppression, and the absence of entity-hiding calls. ProtocolLib is declared as a required dependency, prepared state round trips through YAML, and `./gradlew clean check jar` passes.
