 6. Wait for CI to pass: poll Gitea CI status. If CI fails, report the failure and stop — do not merge.
 7. Once CI passes, squash-merge on Gitea: `tea pr merge <index> --style squash` with a clean, semantic commit message including the PR number. No Claude attribution lines.

+8. Update local main and push to both remotes. If in a worktree, `main` is checked out in the primary tree, so run from there: `cd <primary-worktree> && git pull gitea main && git push origin main` (the primary worktree path is the repo root without `.claude/worktrees/…`). If not in a worktree: `git checkout main && git pull gitea main && git push origin main`.
 9. Clean up remote branches: `git push gitea --delete <branch> && git push origin --delete <branch>`.

 11. Report the merged PR URL.

-The context is disposed when the SSE connection closes (tab close, navigation away, network loss). A background reaper also cleans up contexts that never establish an SSE connection within `ContextTTL` (default 30s).
+The context lives until the browser tab closes (detected via a `beforeunload` beacon) or the server shuts down. There is no background reaper — contexts persist across temporary SSE disconnections so backgrounded tabs resume seamlessly.
 
 During [SPA navigation](routing-and-navigation.md#spa-navigation), the context itself survives — only page-level state (signals, actions, fields, intervals, subscriptions) is reset. The SSE connection persists.
