GPU process can exit due to idle timeout if user waits before opening
Reader. reWarmIfNeeded() checks elapsed time since last warm — if >60s,
re-attaches WKWebView to window and loads minimal HTML to restart the
GPU process. Called on ReaderTabView.onAppear.

No timers, no keep-alive loops. Just a timestamp check on tab appear.
