What
The hold timer for messages arriving from another session now restarts when any visible dialog goes away, not only when Claude stops being busy, so a held-message prompt does not quietly time out while you are looking at a different dialog.
Details
The controller was rewritten from a UI effect into a plain subscription that takes its clock, store, transcript and dialog collaborators and returns a disposer.
Evidence
Released ${Le.length} held cross-session ${I(Le.length, "message")} to Claude's queue
Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
