Cloud start_session refused
“So when one user message asks for several cloud starts, any call made after the user switches the main pane to another session is refused.”

Cloud start_session refused after user switches to another session. The on-screen check runs on every call, so later starts in one turn are refused; the refusal text blames the Code tab or a window reload.

- Desktop: cloud start_session refusal blames the Code tab or a window reload; the real cause is that the conversation is off screen, or a second call in one message#104406
- Desktop: cloud start_session is re-checked for "on screen" on every call, so a turn that starts several cloud sessions loses every start after the user looks at another session#104405
