- Make the "Actions" list (for example, https://codeberg.org/forgejo/forgejo/actions) dynamically refresh using htmx and partial page reloading. This addresses a pet peeve of mine, I find it common to end up on this page and have workflows in-progress, but not be able to monitor the workflows to success or failure from the page as it currently doesn't do any data refreshing.
- There are a few major risks involves with this change.
- Increased server-side load & network utilization. In order to mitigate this risk, I have configured the refresh to occur every 30 seconds **only** when the Page Visibility API indicates that the web page is currently visible to the end-user. It is still reasonable to assume this change will increase server-side load though.
- UI interactions on the page, such as the "Actor" and "Status" dropdown and the workflow dispatch form, would be replaced from the server with non-expanded UI during the refresh. This problem is prevented by stopping the refresh while these UIs are in their expanded states.
- E2E tests added.
