A phone that slept brings back an SSE socket that never errored and never
delivers: the panel read as live for hours while showing nothing new. Every
chunk now marks the connection alive and a watchdog drops the socket after
40s of silence - twice the server's keepalive - so the loop reconnects.
Each attempt gets its own controller, which is what lets the watchdog (and
a manual refresh) end one connection without ending the loop.
The connection is admitted in one dot beside the rail's search box, tapped
to reconnect at once rather than waiting out the backoff - the pill that
used to say this was dropped in the redesign and the panel had no way to
own up to being stale.
With nothing picked, the shell lands on the freshest open master instead of
a prompt to pick something: what a phone wants when the panel opens. An
explicit pick, and following the active note, still win.
