hey Clay— the good folks at Medium are always tweaking the code (good), and they never send out release notes or, Ev forbid, advance notice of changes about to go in (bad).

the part about your session timing out, I have not observed that, I am on PC / Android. I have noticed occasionally that claps don’t stick as you say, on the Chrome browser. Switching to a different browser or re-opening Chrome usually solves that.

ps: I cannot view your Quicktime video link, but I did clap your story, you know, so you have more forensic evidence ;-)
