Add Reminder and Auto-Timeout for Active Help / Remote Assist Sessions #45

Description

Problem or Motivation

When Help / Remote Assist is enabled, there is currently no strong or persistent reminder that the session is still active. Users may forget to manually disable Remote Assist after completing a task, potentially leaving unintended access enabled longer than necessary. This creates both usability and security concerns, especially in environments where Remote Assist is used infrequently or under time pressure.

Proposed Solution

Display a clear, persistent indicator in the main menu when Help / Remote Assist is active, reminding the user to disable it when finished.
Optionally introduce an automatic timeout that disables Remote Assist after a configurable period of time or inactivity.
The timeout feature could be configurable (or disabled) to accommodate different workflows and security requirements.

This would reduce the risk of forgotten active sessions while improving overall user awareness and security posture.
