What

The reminder that fires while dispatched work is still running now checks the current interval on each tick and re-arms itself if it has changed, instead of quietly running on the old schedule. Its wording also changed: it is summarised as "Worker check-in: dispatched work still running" and now asks the model to tell you how long it expects the work to take, rather than to post a status.

Details
  • Re-arming carries over the same task registry and known worker set.
  • A new helper registers an additional worker into a check-in that is already armed, instead of starting a second one.

Worker check-in: dispatched work still running

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