 - Note: the pending choice is one-shot (`GETDEL`) — a second click on a stale card gets `This choice expired — send the request again.` The 5s window is too short to tap from a phone notification; that is intentional — Nope is for users watching the chat, and the started message's cancel button covers everyone else.
