The bake knows where the reading seats are — 132 Läsplatser, one
Tyst läsesal, and 17 Bibliotek rooms — and the presence feed from #61 knows
how many people are in each building. Together they answer the question a
student actually has: where should I sit right now?

Per building, from the MazeMap dump:

  Studenthuset   28 läsplatser + 12 bibliotek
  C-huset        25 + 1 tyst läsesal
  Keyhuset       21            (no presence series)
  A-huset        21
  Fysikhuset     13 + 2 bibliotek
  B-huset        11 + 3 bibliotek
  Kårallen        5
  TEMA-huset      3
  I-Huset 1 & 2   2
  Vallfarten      2
  D-huset         1

The proposal is not a free-seat counter — the feed cannot see individual seats.
It is a ranking with the evidence shown: "C-huset: 25 seats, 220 people" versus
"Studenthuset: 28 seats, 640 people". Rank buildings with seats by occupants per
seat (or by absolute occupants) and let the player choose.

Where it lives:

the chat field already exists, so /quiet is a zero-UI command;
the answer wants a distance and bearing, which is arithmetic over the same ENU
points locate already takes;
the chosen building wants the waypoint from #38 and the map highlight from
#36.

Caveats worth designing around: the presence numbers include staff and guests,
are rounded to ten, and at night every building shows 10, so a quiet ranking
below a threshold is meaningless. Keyhuset has reading seats but no series; show
it as unknown rather than pretending it is empty.
