Summary

• pause automatic dashboard refreshes while operator mutations are in flight
• discard stale refresh snapshots that started before a newer operator action
• force a post-mutation refresh after approval/status/forum/live/gate actions so successful writes reconcile from durable storage

Verification

• npm run check
• npm run test
• npm run build

Note: attempted in-app browser verification, but the browser backend was unavailable in this session; Playwright is not installed in this repo.
