Description
Hi,
we use a simple shared text file as a status board (who is in which room right now, who is on vaccation, what is going on etc.),
so everyone read+writes it during the day.
The 30 minute idle timeout is really annoying (see #1027). Also, because it hits often while writing in the text file.
Is there a way to adjust the timeout, or generally increase it to 10 hours?

Research direction
Start by tracing the editor's 30-minute idle timeout and the tab visibility or reconnection entry points; the issue does not name specific files or tests. Clarify whether completion means making the timeout configurable, extending it, or reconnecting when the tab becomes visible, then verify the chosen behavior during editing and after a hidden-to-visible transition.
