Under the hood

With input closed and no budget cap, a session with armed monitors can be held open past the background-task ceiling.

The print-mode drain loop now computes a holdForArmedMonitors flag, true when input is closed, no explicit budget cap is set, and a remote-config flag is on, and factors it into the ceiling/shutdown decision. Sessions with armed monitor tasks can now be kept alive longer before the background-task ceiling forces a stop.
