When the batcher timed out sending to a node, it removed the channel from multiChannelNodeConn but left the old serveLongPoll goroutine running on that channel. That left a live stale session behind: it no longer received new updates, but it could still keep the stream open and block shutdown.
Close the pruned channel when stale-send cleanup removes it so the old map session exits after draining any buffered update.
