[Bug]: Settling a thread doesn't release the Android device session, blocking other threads from using it #32511

Before submitting#

• I searched existing issues and did not find a duplicate.
• I included enough detail to reproduce or investigate the problem.

Area#

apps/desktop

Steps to reproduce#

1. Open thread A with device access enabled and an Android device connected via adb (device preview visible)
2. Ask the agent to do some work that uses the device
3. Let the agent finish without explicitly stopping the device session
4. Settle thread A
5. Open thread B and try to use the same device

Expected behavior#

Settling a thread releases its device session, so other threads can use the device right away

Actual behavior#

The device stays held by the settled thread. Thread B can't use it until I find thread A, reopen it, and ask the agent to stop using the device. Since agents often finish without stopping the session, this happens a lot whenever I work across multiple threads

Impact#

Major degradation or frequent failure
