What
After a SIGTERM, the runner no longer immediately turns away work. A session assigned during shutdown is still served until a defer ceiling or its idle timer releases it, and a session that declines release because a user event is pending gets re-spawned. Only past the ceiling does the runner refuse to start it and put it back on the queue.
Details
Applies to every self-hosted runner on this build; there is no flag.
The warning printed on a second signal now reads "Another SIGTERM" rather than "A second SIGTERM".
