perf(gui): hidden tab holds zero timers and fires zero requests - #1856
Conversation
📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe GUI adds a shared visibility-aware polling utility, suspends eligible client-resource timers in hidden tabs, bounds polling requests with abort cleanup, migrates nine pollers, and adds tests for visibility transitions, subscriber churn, opt-out behavior, and teardown. ChangesVisibility-aware polling
Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to When a page mounts hidden, an immediate poll can still start a background request, so the promised zero-request behavior is not yet guaranteed; an async polling callback may also produce an unhandled rejection. These localized issues should be fixed before merge, with the related test and verification records corrected. Sequence Diagram(s)sequenceDiagram

There was a problem hiding this comment.
When the user follows the OAuth URL in another tab, the dashboard becomes hidden while the provider callback can still complete the server-side flow. Pausing this poll prevents the completed status from clearing the five-minute timeout at line 238; if the user remains on the provider's completion page until that timeout fires, the dashboard calls cancelLogin(), reports a timeout, and never invokes onAdded, whereas the previous interval detected completion within two seconds. Opt this status poll out of hidden pausing, or suspend its timeout together with the poll.

There was a problem hiding this comment.
showSecond is initialized from both only on the first render, so rerendering with both={false} leaves it true and never unmounts Second. Consequently this focused test passes without exercising the hidden-phase subscriber-churn path it claims to protect; render Second directly from both or explicitly update the state before asserting the timer remains suspended.

client-resource poll timers now suspend outright while the document is hidden (previously the interval kept waking to skip every tick): suspendPollTimer keeps pollIntervalMs so hidden-phase churn cannot re-arm, the arm-time guard keeps mount-while-hidden stores timerless, the visibility listener installs regardless of arming so resume always lives, and teardown/eviction reset the flag. Opt-out subscribers (restart watch) keep their cadence. A new startVisibilityPoll helper owns the same rule for the nine hand-rolled raw pollers, all migrated — Debug 1s tail (also gains an in-flight guard + 10s bound, fixing its stuck-refreshing wedge), provider pacing 2s (+guard/bound), CodexAuth/picker/default-mode 30s, Models v2 10s, account pool refresh (+bounded signals), memory card 5s, OAuth login-status 2s. New tests: visibility-poll (6) + poll suspension cases (churn-while-hidden, mount-while-hidden, last-poller-leaves-while-hidden) via a test-only timer probe.
…pt-out churn Review round r5 found a real regression: replacing Debug useEffectEvent dispatch with a plain closure meant a stream switch kept tailing the OLD stream (wrong entries appended, shared generation ref cancelling the new initial load, corrupted after-seq). The tick is dispatched through useEffectEvent again, so every tick uses the latest fetchLogs without re-arming the interval. Also closes the latent opt-out churn asymmetry in recomputePoll: an opt-out leaving while hidden now suspends the timer for the paused remainder, and an opt-out joining a suspended store arms it while still hidden. Threads abort signals through the remaining migrated pollers (CodexAuth config, account picker, default-mode) and guards a throwing callback in visibility-poll. New tests cover both opt-out churn directions.
Every migrated poller used window.setInterval. Routing the shared helper through the bare global bound it to a different timer scope than the code it replaced and made it invisible to the tests that intercept window.setInterval — nine auto-switch and account-picker cases failed on CI at this layer. Each stack layer has to stand green at its own tip, so the scoping fix belongs here with the migration rather than in the layer above.

Strengthen the shared-key hidden polling test.
pickPollEntry() already selects only pauseWhenHidden: false subscribers while hidden (gui/src/client-resource.ts:163-175). The test at gui/tests/client-resource-poll.test.tsx:445-477 uses one shared counter, so it would pass if the paused subscriber made the request. Use separate counters and assert that only the opt-out counter increases during hidden ticks.

Do not run an immediate callback while hidden.
When pauseWhenHidden is enabled and the poll mounts hidden, lines 92-97 correctly avoid creating a timer. Line 101 still calls tick() when immediate is true. This can start a background request while hidden and violates the documented no-callback rule.
Only fire the immediate callback when hidden suspension is disabled or the document is visible. The visibility listener already performs the make-up tick on return.

Summary
Layer 3: a background tab now costs essentially nothing.
Before this change a hidden dashboard kept nine store timers waking on schedule just to skip every tick, and nine hand-rolled
setIntervalpollers kept firing for real — log tails, provider pacing, account pool, model status, settings cards, OAuth polling. Nobody is reading the paint, and on a laptop that is pure battery burn.Two mechanisms:
document.visibilityState === "hidden". The interval is cleared, not merely skipped, whilepollIntervalMssurvives so subscriber churn (StrictMode, tab mounts) cannot silently re-arm it. A store first subscribed while already hidden holds no timer at all, and the visibility listener installs regardless of arming so resume always works. Teardown and eviction reset the flag so a later poller starts clean.startVisibilityPollhelper owns the same rule for the raw pollers, and all nine are migrated. Several gained guards they were missing along the way: the Debug 1s tail poll now has an in-flight guard and a 10s bound (it previously stacked hung requests and could stick its refreshing indicator), and provider pacing, account pool, and the config/settings polls now thread abort signals.The deliberate exception is the restart-reconnect loop: noticing a server coming back while the user is looking elsewhere is the one thing it exists for, so it keeps its cadence. Subscribers can opt out the same way.

Replacing the Debug poll's
useEffectEventdispatch with a plain closure meant a stream switch kept tailing the old stream — wrong entries appended, the shared generation ref cancelling the new stream's initial load. Fixed (dispatch restored) and re-reviewed, along with an opt-out churn asymmetry in the suspension rules.No visual change: timer and request scheduling only.
