Idle tabs can go blank or reset after long inactivity #384

Description

Summary

When Freshell tabs are left idle for an hour or more, and the underlying sessions are still open but not actively working on a task, the tab content can become blank. In some cases the blank window does not recover unless the tab is selected again from the left sidebar; in other cases it appears to reset back to a fresh session.

Observed behavior

  • A tab is left idle for 1+ hour.
  • The session was not intentionally shut down.
  • Returning to the tab often shows a blank window.
  • The tab sometimes recovers after selecting it from the left sidebar.
  • Other times the tab appears to reset to a fresh session.

Expected behavior

Idle tabs with still-running sessions should preserve their visible state and reconnect or restore cleanly when revisited.

Notes

This may be related to tab/session lifecycle handling after inactivity, such as renderer suspension, lost webview state, reconnect behavior, or session state restoration.
