`POST /api/field-sales/appointments/{id}/presence`

Sent by the rep's phone about every 2 minutes after a VERIFIED check-in, until the response says stop_tracking. Uses the same 150 m / 100 m accuracy rule as check-in.

Leaving before the workspace minimum emails managers "Left early" and returns ask_leave_reason; staying past the maximum emails "Running long". Only the distance is stored, never the phone's coordinates. Flag-gated with check-in (FIELD_SALES_GEOFENCED_CHECKIN).
