frontend(topics): split retention into Retention Time and Retention Size (UX-1310)#2471
Merged
Conversation
…ize (UX-1310)
The topic quick-info bar joined retention.ms and retention.bytes with
"or", producing ambiguous strings like "1 day or Infinite" when only
one metric was set to -1. Splits the field into two clearly labelled
columns ("Retention Time" / "Retention Size") that always render, so
an Infinite value reads unambiguously.
