What

When the Remote Control bridge starts and finds a local process already holding the session, it logs the decline, posts a one-time informational notice into the transcript, and switches the bridge off for that session instead of connecting.

Details
  • Both the bridge enable flag and its auto-on default are cleared when this happens.
  • The attach path can now carry a session to reattach to and a flag to keep the session on exit, tracked internally as never-archive, and identity changes are reported to the bridge state machine.
  • Whether the surrounding bridge feature is on by default is not decided in this code; it only runs inside Remote Control sessions.
Evidence

[bridge:repl] Init declined: session held by local pid

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