RawBrowseModal.razor:377 sets _canRebirth = BrowserService.CanRequestRebirth(_token) once, when the
browse session is established. Browse sessions are reaped for idleness after ~2 minutes. A modal left open past
the reap therefore still renders the Request rebirth… button (RawBrowseModal.razor:102), and clicking it
fails against a token that no longer resolves.

Not silent — the error is surfaced to the operator, not swallowed, and reopening the browser fixes it. So
this is a stale-affordance defect: the UI offers an action it can no longer perform.

Fix options, in increasing order of effort:

Re-evaluate CanRequestRebirth(_token) at click time and, on a dead token, re-establish the session (or
tell the operator to reopen) instead of erroring.
Have the session-reap path notify open modals so the button disappears when the capability does.

Option 1 alone closes the operator-visible symptom.

Acceptance. With a browse modal open and idle past the reap window, the rebirth affordance either works
(session re-established) or is no longer offered — it never presents and then errors.
