Polling Contract — Calm UI Rules

Principle

Polling is allowed only when it materially improves UX (active operations). It must be DB-only and must stop when no longer needed.

Dashboard

  • Polling is enabled only while active runs exist (queued/running) for the current tenant.
  • Polling is disabled when:
    • No active runs exist.

Operations index

  • Polling is enabled only while active runs exist.
  • Polling is disabled when:
    • No active runs exist.

Modals

  • No polling inside modals.
  • When a modal is open, polling should not cause churn in the background.

Technical approach

  • Widgets: use $pollingInterval = null to disable polling.
  • Tables: apply $table->poll('10s') only when active runs exist.
