The stale-while-revalidate path serves the last-good assessment on a cache
miss and returns a terminal payload, so the status hook stopped polling. The
worker warmed a fresh assessment out of band seconds later, but the open card
never picked it up — the stale text stuck until the page remounted.
Add a `revalidating` flag to the read-only miss outcome, set only when
last-good text is served AND a refresh was enqueued (false on the
suppressed-stub branch and when no prior text exists). Thread it through the
generic metric-status generator and the seven specialised generators onto the
wire, type it on the client, and make `nextStatusPollInterval` keep polling on
`preparing || revalidating`. The existing 12-attempt ceiling bounds both
signals, so a persistently failing generation still cannot poll forever.

(cherry picked from commit c9217534fbdb304c4df1b6eb55fb19e4360b8a10)
The per-metric status cards and the inline medication-compliance query
poll the read-only status route every 4 s while the payload reports
preparing:true. A configured provider whose generation persistently
fails leaves preparing pinned true, so an open Insights page would poll
indefinitely — steady battery and network draw on a screen the user has
walked away from.
Cap the poll at 12 attempts (~48 s) through a shared
nextStatusPollInterval helper both call sites route through. Past the
ceiling the card settles on its existing static / empty state. The happy
path is unchanged: a generation that lands within a couple of intervals
clears preparing and stops the timer exactly as before, and a terminal
no-provider payload never carried preparing so it stays terminal.
Operator-side assistant feature-flag matrix, /insights tab-strip blocking fix on mobile, and the GHCR-propagation-race Coolify auto-deploy fix. Full notes in CHANGELOG.
