What

A turn that begins while a permission or other blocking dialog is already open now starts its clock paused, so the time you spend answering the dialog is excluded from the turn duration. Previously every turn started unpaused regardless.

Details
  • The timer reset checks the dialog store for any open dialog and begins the pause immediately if one is found.
Evidence

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