Problem

Opening Call (Communication > Call dock entry) shows 'No active call' with a placeholder avatar and three icon buttons (mic/cam/end) that toggle local visual state only. There is no:

'Start Call' button or contact picker
signaling integration (no LiveKit client init, no peer setup)
way for the island to ever leave the 'No active call' state

See archipelagos/communication/call/src/island.rs — the entire component is the placeholder, and the action buttons render no aria-label / title so screen readers see them as unlabelled.

Suggested fix

Either:

Implement minimum viable call-init flow (contact picker → signaling → LiveKit room), or
Remove the dock entry from the Communication category until it's functional.
