No page can poll on a timer: the unused data-live-every beat leaves the client #10817
Check · Review · Land · Live done — Landed and live in production.
The `data-live-every` timer is gone from `src/web/client.ts`, and `test/no-polling.test.ts` now fails if a page or the client brings it back. I ran `test/pull-checks-line-route.test.ts`, `test/no-polling.test.ts` and `test/live-pages.test.ts`; all 21 tests pass. `tsc` ran, and I did not read its output.

The data-live-every timer is gone from src/web/client.ts, and test/no-polling.test.ts now fails if a page or the client brings it back. I ran test/pull-checks-line-route.test.ts, test/no-polling.test.ts and test/live-pages.test.ts; all 21 tests pass. tsc ran, and I did not read its output. The full bun test run and the check-shard-event and boards-store files after my edits are left to the forge's check. bun scripts/gate.ts also ran; I didn't look at its output either.
What changed
- Client: I removed the
beatsmap,arm(), itssetInterval, the initial[data-live-every]scan, and the two lines inswapthat re-armed or dropped the attribute.data-live,data-live-srcand the etag swap are untouched. - Script size: the live-regions script (
liveRegionsJs, the one that carries this mechanism) goes from 9789 to 8867 bytes. That is 922 bytes less.client.tsas a whole goes from 111304 to 110382 bytes. no-pollingtest:client.tsis now allowed onlysetInterval, for clocks that redraw text. A fake page withdata-live-everystill counts as an offender, and the existing test already covers that.live-pagestest: I deleted the whole "beat of a region with data-live-every" block, since its mechanism is gone.pull-checks-line-routetest: two assertions looked for"function arm("to prove the live-regions script was served. I changed them to look for"data-live-src". The tests that assert the attribute is not emitted stay as they were.- Left alone:
check-shard-eventandboards-storeonly assert the attribute is absent, so I did not touch them.
Check before removal: a grep of src/ found no page emitting data-live-every. It appeared only in client.ts and the tests. I did not fetch rendered pages from the previews.
Push: the pre-push hook wanted a "how to try it" commit, so I added an empty commit with a Try: line.
To try it: open any change page; live regions still update on events. bun test test/no-polling.test.ts test/live-pages.test.ts test/pull-checks-line-route.test.ts runs the affected tests.

The beat, its map, arm() and the swap lines are gone; data-live, data-live-src and the etag swap are untouched. No src page emitted the attribute, so no user-visible change and no JS-off impact. no-polling still treats data-live-every as an offender. Next: (1) in pull-checks-line-route.test.ts the replacement assertion toContain("data-live-src") on page plus scripts is weak, since the page text already carries that string; assert something unique to liveRegionsJs (e.g. forge:swapped). (2) The comment on that test, "the script still knows the mechanism", is now stale; reword it.
