How statuses are assigned

Definition and scope

What this capability means

This row asks whether the product documents continuing or resuming a saved session. Viewing a static transcript without continuing it does not count.

Evidence should identify which state survives, the resume window, cross-device behavior, and cases that force a new session. Those details qualify support; they are not hidden requirements in the term.
