Conversation
Nothing the Screen tab reads starts a computer, so one that was off stayed off however long a person looked at it, and the only way to see the Bot's browser was to ask the Bot to do something. The screen beside a conversation now says it was opened (POST /api/computers/:botId/wake) when it finds the computer off, and reads "Starting ... computer" while it comes up. Once, for what the screen found when it opened: a computer that goes off later in front of a screen left open stays off, and a card in a turn never asks, because the Bot's action starts that one. When the call is not answered the screen says the computer is off, as before. Also words for two audit events, a computer turned off for being idle and started again, on the Audit and Activity pages.

What was wrong
Nothing the Screen tab reads starts a computer. A computer that was off stayed off however long a person looked at its screen, and the only way to see the Bot's browser was to ask the Bot to do something.
What changes
POST /api/computers/:botId/wake) when it finds the computer off, and reads "Starting Sales's computer. The first start takes about a minute." while it comes up.computer.suspended("Turn off an idle computer", decision "Turned off while idle") andcomputer.resumed("Start a computer again", decision "Started again").No new copy on the screen: both sentences are the ones already there.
