forgepulse: the dashboard now shows when its numbers were last refreshed
forgepulse shows the age of its own data:
the homepage now reads the most recent successful sync run — already recorded in
the sync_runs table but never surfaced — and renders it next to the git-ref
pill as Updated <UTC> · <local> (Xh Ym ago), ticking every minute
(d4c5e85). Traffic
history is only as useful as the moment it was collected, and until now the
dashboard gave no way to tell a stale snapshot from a fresh one. The change
touches two new frontend modules plus tests for the relative-time formatter and
the API field behind it.
