# Session Lifecycle

#### Auto-Lock Protocol

Security must account for human error, such as walking away from an unlocked computer.

* **Inactivity Timer:** The dashboard monitors mouse movement and keyboard inputs. After 15 minutes of inactivity, the session is automatically terminated.
* **Ram Clearing:** Upon timeout, the application explicitly triggers a garbage collection routine to scrub sensitive variables from browser memory.

#### Force-Kill

* **Tab Closure:** Closing the browser tab instantly destroys the session context.
* **Connection Loss:** If the mobile device disconnects (e.g., airplane mode or app closure), the dashboard immediately locks to prevent unauthorized viewing of the balance.
