What

When a live artifact watch is dropped, you get a task notification instead of a plain housekeeping message. It carries a short reason, such as one saying the watch was stopped to make room for a newer one, and shows the watch's own title as the name.

Details
  • The notification type is artifact-watch-lifecycle, and it carries both the existing long explanation and a new short reason field.
  • The two paths that can end a watch each supply their own short reason.
