What
A session with no running background tasks but a finished one whose follow-up turn has not happened is no longer retired out from under that turn.
Details
- The retire timer logs and holds the session in that case instead of releasing it.
- The status line reports a finished background task awaiting its follow-up turn.
Evidence
retire time passed while a finished background task's follow-up turn is pending
Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
