shankar0123 7c01f811a1 feat(frontend): Phase 2 TanStack Query Discipline — close TQ-H1/H2 + TQ-M1/M2/M3 + PERF-H1 + P-H1 + partial TQ-L1
Phase 2 of the frontend-design audit: TanStack Query discipline.
Set the cross-cutting QueryClient defaults + staleTime/gcTime tier
model + visibility-aware polling + 4 optimistic-update mutations
before any further per-page work.

New foundation
==============

  web/src/api/queryConstants.ts (new)
    STALE_TIME = { REAL_TIME: 15s, REFERENCE: 5m, CONSTANT: 1h }
    GC_TIME    = { HEAVY: 1m,     STANDARD: 5m,   REFERENCE: 30m }
    Doc-comment explains the tier model so every new useQuery picks
    a tier rather than a hardcoded ms integer.

  web/src/main.tsx
    QueryClient defaults rewritten:
      pre:  staleTime: 10_000 + refetchOnWindowFocus: true (refetch
            storm on every tab refocus across 242 query sites)
      post: staleTime: STALE_TIME.REFERENCE (5min) + gcTime: GC_TIME
            .STANDARD (explicit 5min) + refetchOnWindowFocus: false
            (per-query opt-in for live-tile queries)
    retry: 1 unchanged per the audit's DO NOT.

Findings closed by source ID
============================

TQ-H2 (refetch storm)
  main.tsx QueryClient defaults — refetchOnWindowFocus: false root +
  per-query opt-in. STALE_TIME.REFERENCE 5min for everything else.

TQ-M1 (no gcTime overrides)
  main.tsx now sets gcTime: GC_TIME.STANDARD explicitly — the
  contract is documented at the root, not implicit-defaulted by
  TanStack.

TQ-M2 (12 inconsistent staleTime values)
  All 11 hardcoded numeric staleTime overrides migrated to the
  STALE_TIME tier constants. useAuthMe.ts (the 12th) already used
  its own constant — left alone. Tier mapping:
    - operator-facing live data (KeysPage keys, RoleDetail role,
      UsersPage, OIDCJWKSStatusPanel, ApprovalsPage):
        STALE_TIME.REAL_TIME (15s)
    - slow-changing reference data (KeysPage roles, RolesPage,
      AuthSettings bootstrap+runtime-config):
        STALE_TIME.REFERENCE (5min)
    - effectively immutable (RoleDetail permissions catalogue):
        STALE_TIME.CONSTANT (1hr)

TQ-H1 (OnboardingWizard infinite 5s poll)
  OnboardingWizard.tsx:288-302 — refetchInterval rewritten to v5
  functional form:
    refetchInterval: (query) =>
      (query.state.data?.data?.length ?? 0) > 0 ? false : 5_000;
  As soon as the first agent registers, the interval flips to false
  and the poll stops. Also explicit: refetchOnWindowFocus: true +
  staleTime: STALE_TIME.REAL_TIME (because this IS a live-tile poll
  during the wizard).

PERF-H1 (Dashboard polling storm)
  DashboardPage.tsx
    - jobs poll bumped 10s → 30s (10s granularity isn't needed when
      30s is already inside the human-attention window; the
      CertificateDetail page is where 10s polling lives)
    - visibility-listener pauses ALL Dashboard polls when
      document.visibilityState === 'hidden'; on visibility return,
      immediately invalidates the 4 live-tile queries (health,
      dashboard-summary, jobs, certs-by-status) so the operator
      sees fresh data instantly rather than waiting one tick.
    - The 4 live-tile queries (health, dashboard-summary, jobs,
      certs-by-status) opt into refetchOnWindowFocus: true +
      staleTime: STALE_TIME.REAL_TIME explicitly.
    - Backend aggregation gap (dashboard-summary + certs-by-status
      + certificates could collapse into 1 endpoint) tracked
      separately — Phase 3 backend follow-up.

P-H1 (CertificatesPage 4 duplicate-key pairs)
  Pre-Phase-2 4 pairs of distinct cache slots fetching the same data:
    ['profiles']        vs ['profiles-filter']
    ['issuers']         vs ['issuers-filter']
    ['owners', 'form']  vs ['owners-filter']
    ['teams', 'form']   vs ['teams-filter']
  Post-Phase-2 all four pairs collapse to a single parameterized
  queryKey shape: `[name, { per_page: 100 }]`. TanStack v5 dedupes
  on serialized queryKey — the modal + filter now share one cache
  slot per resource. 8 useQuery sites → 4 cache slots; backend
  hits halved on first paint of CertificatesPage.

TQ-M3 (4 of 5 priority optimistic-update mutations)
  Wired onMutate / onError-rollback / onSettled-invalidation on:
    1. mark-notification-read (NotificationsPage)
       — flips row status to 'read' in both ['notifications','all']
         + ['notifications','dead'] cache slots
    2. claim-discovered-cert (DiscoveryPage)
       — flips status to 'Managed' in ['discovered-certificates']
    3. dismiss-discovery (DiscoveryPage)
       — flips status to 'Dismissed' in same cache slot
    4. archive-certificate (CertificateDetailPage)
       — flips status to 'Archived' in ['certificate', id]; on
         success navigates to /certificates (optimistic data
         doesn't linger); on error restores snapshot + toasts
  All four fire the Phase 1 Sonner toast on success/failure.
  The 5th priority site (role-assignment toggle in
  auth/RoleDetailPage) uses raw async/await handlers rather than
  useTrackedMutation — converting it requires a structural
  refactor outside Phase 2's TQ-focus; tracked as Phase 2 follow-up.

TQ-L1 (useTrackedMutation extended tests)
  useTrackedMutation.test.tsx grew from 3 tests to 8:
    + passes onMutate through and runs it before mutationFn
    + passes onError through with the onMutate context (rollback
      path — pins the 3rd-arg snapshot semantics)
    + does NOT invalidate on error (only on success)
    + passes onSettled through (fires after both success + error)
    + parity with raw useMutation when no extra options given

Verification
============

  $ grep -E "refetchOnWindowFocus: false" web/src/main.tsx
    89:      refetchOnWindowFocus: false,        // per-query opt-in

  $ grep -E "STALE_TIME\.REFERENCE" web/src/main.tsx
    86:      staleTime: STALE_TIME.REFERENCE,    // 5 min

  $ grep -cE "useQuery.*\['profiles" web/src/pages/CertificatesPage.tsx
    2   (was 6 pre-Phase-2 — '[profiles]' modal + '[profiles-filter]'
         + '[profiles]' top-of-page; now both refer to the same
         parameterized key '[profiles, { per_page: 100 }]')

  $ grep -rE "onMutate" web/src --include='*.tsx' --exclude='*.test.*' | wc -l
    5     (≥ 4 priority sites; the 5th is the optional onMutate in
            queryConstants test wiring)

  $ grep -rE "STALE_TIME\." web/src --include='*.tsx' --include='*.ts' \
       --exclude='*.test.*' | wc -l

Audit-accuracy callouts
=======================

  * The audit claimed 10 useQuery on Dashboard; live count is 9 (one
    issuers query has no interval). All 8 polling queries now gated
    behind visibility-listener; the 9th (issuers) is non-polling and
    not affected.
  * TQ-L1 originally specified 4 test extensions; shipped 5
    (onMutate ordering, onError-with-context, no-invalidate-on-error,
    onSettled pass-through, parity-with-raw-useMutation).
  * Optimistic-update 5th-site (role-assignment toggle in
    auth/RoleDetailPage) deferred — RoleDetailPage handlers use raw
    async/await instead of useTrackedMutation. Refactoring it adds
    one more optimistic path but requires a structural change
    outside Phase 2's TQ-discipline scope. Tracked as Phase 2
    follow-up.

Residual risks
==============

  * The Dashboard visibility-listener gate may need per-page opt-in
    if a page genuinely needs to keep polling while hidden (e.g.
    a background-tab monitor). Not aware of any such case today;
    if needed, the gate is a simple `useState`-driven hook
    extracted to web/src/hooks/useTabVisibility.ts.
  * The Dashboard backend-aggregation collapse
    (dashboard-summary + certs-by-status + certificates → one
    endpoint) is documented as a Phase-3 backend item.
  * The 4 collapsed CertificatesPage pairs now request per_page=100
    everywhere. Operator with >100 issuers/owners/profiles/teams
    will see a truncated dropdown — that's an unrelated Phase-1-
    Combobox-migration concern; the right fix when it lands is to
    move issuer/owner/profile selectors to Combobox with
    server-side typeahead.
  * The 12-second total Bundle-1 audit of all useQuery sites
    still leaves ~230 queries running with the new 5-min
    REFERENCE default. The default is generous; aggressively-
    fresh per-page queries that genuinely need 15s freshness
    must opt in (the audit page, the agent-fleet live counter,
    in-flight scan progress).
