What

If a background session starts with an id another session already claims, it now ends on its own path: the session is marked crashed, a dimmed notice goes to the output stream, and a dedicated event is recorded with the attempt number, how it was launched and the launch mode. Previously this fell into the generic crash and exit handling.

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