Description

In general.php I have set my 'userSessionDuration' to 0 so that I don't get logged out automatically.

When I close my laptop it goes to sleep. Upon opening it again and activating the tab with Craft I can still edit an entry I had left open when closing the laptop. I could edit for at least half an hour without any messages from Craft. When I then clicked the Save button I got an error message and all modifications were lost.

Is it possible for Craft to detect this state and auto-save on wake-up (best) or inform the user to salvage their updates in some way?

Steps to reproduce
  1. Start editing an entry
  2. Let device go into sleep mode
  3. Wake up device
  4. Continue editing the entry
  5. Click Save button

Research direction

Start with the session setting in general.php and trace the entry editing and Save flow described in the report. Reproduce the sleep/wake sequence with Craft 3.4.17.1, then define completion as preserving the edits or clearly warning the user before they are lost.
