OK, I started having a major problem which took me a good hour to debug…but I have a fix. When I tried to use the TiddlyWiki CLI (for instance, with a --savewikifolder), it would hang indefinitely, because it is waiting on the timer to be torn down before terminating. Fortunately, there is a tag $:/tags/StartupAction/Browser <https://tiddlywiki.com/#SystemTag%3A%20%24%3A%2Ftags%2FStartupAction%2FBrowser> which invokes the timer setup only when viewing the wiki in the browser. So I just removed $:/tags/StartupAction and added that one, and now it's working fine again.
