A crashed process no longer leaves a lock that blocks you forever; locks expire after a minute.

What probably matters to youSection of the release
What

MCP token-refresh locks, WIF credential locks and other lockfile acquisitions now declare staleness and refresh intervals, so a lock left behind by a crashed process stops blocking after a minute.

Details
  • Acquisitions pass stale: 60000 and update: 5000.
  • Previously a holder that died left the lock in place indefinitely.
Evidence

stale: 60000,

Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
