"Watch ended" notices now say whether re-watching is worth it

You'll notice

Useful2 Signal1

Artifacts

"Watch ended" notices now say whether re-watching is worth it instead of always suggesting it.

What

The message that fires when watching an artifact ends now ends differently depending on why. A stop the session itself made says watching was stopped earlier in this session, with guidance not to start watching again; a failed resume says the earlier stop still stands. Previously every one of these messages ended with the same suggestion to re-watch.

Evidence

watching this artifact was stopped earlier in this session

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