Description

We are pretty good about automatically exiting users from sessions whenever they navigate away from a drawing session, but we need to also include a heartbeat system to detect when a user has closed a tab.

Normally we could handle this via WebSocket disposal events but since we're outsourcing that to the Blazor Hub we might need to write some code to explicitly check for this.

Research direction

Start by tracing the existing session-exit handling and the Blazor Hub connection lifecycle mentioned in the issue. Determine how a heartbeat can identify a closed tab despite WebSocket disposal being handled by the Hub; done means users who close a tab are detected and exited from their drawing session.
