Idle notifications now use the messageIdleNotifThresholdMs setting directly, still 60 seconds by default

What

The logic that decides when to send an idle notification (letting you know Claude Code is waiting on you) now reads its threshold directly from the settings field messageIdleNotifThresholdMs, rather than computing it through separate workflow-size-guideline logic. The default value remains 60000ms (60 seconds).

Why

This simplifies how the idle threshold is determined, without changing the default timing you'll see in practice.
