Relative timestamps ("2h ago") were computed once at server render and never updated, so a page left open drifted further from reality the longer it sat — a job-detail page rendered an hour ago kept showing "2h ago" when the truth was "3h ago".

formatRelTime now wraps its label in <time data-rel-ts=…>, and both layouts (base.html, chromeless.html) carry a small ticker that re-renders every 30s.

• Covered by new cases in internal/server/ui/funcs_test.go
• go vet ./... and go test ./internal/server/ui/ green
• Tracked as NS-07 in tasks.md
