Refresh the repository tab counts while the page is open

Why

The repository header shows how many issues and change requests are open, but those numbers are only as fresh as the page load. A reader who is watching a repository — waiting for a report, a review, a fix — has to reload to find out that something new arrived.

Scope

  • Poll the two open counts from the repository header while the page is visible, so a new issue or change request appears in the tabs without a reload.
  • Replace only the count badges. The current tab, the clone menu, an open search field, and any form the reader has half-filled must stay where they are.
  • Make a count that moved noticeable: a number changing behind the reader is easy to miss.
  • Stop polling while the page is hidden, so a forgotten tab does not keep asking.
  • The new endpoint keeps the same rule as every other /r/{name} route: a private repository answers 404 to a viewer who cannot read it.

Acceptance criteria

  • GET /r/{name}/counts returns just the two badges as out-of-band updates, and 404 for a repository the viewer cannot read.
  • A page left open on /r/{name}/issues shows a newly opened issue’s count within roughly half a minute.
  • The poll and the page agree on the badge ids, and a badge that changes is briefly highlighted.
  • go vet and go test pass with the tags the verify workflow uses.
