Steel sessions live until you release them or they time out
Sessions persist until released or timed out, so release them explicitly when youre done. Leaked sessions are idle browsers on your bill.
Context: Official docs (Steel session lifecycle): a session sticks around until you release it or it hits its timeout. If your script creates sessions and never releases them, you end up paying for idle browsers. Release the session explicitly when the work is done instead of relying on the timeout.Maintainer review
