The alerts list is the one screen where staleness is genuinely
harmful — an operator can be looking at an Open tab that's already
been resolved by another admin or auto-resolved by the engine, and
take action on a row that no longer exists.
Add an htmx poll on just the table panel:
hx-get same URL with current querystring (filters preserved)
hx-trigger every 15s, only when document is visible (no idle CPU)
hx-select #alerts-table — pull this element out of the response
hx-swap outerHTML
Polling lives on the table div, not the page root, so the filter
strip and header don't flash on each tick. Header gains a small
'live ●' label so the polling is discoverable.
RefreshURL is r.URL.RequestURI() on the server side — keeps any
status/severity/host_id/q params intact across refreshes.
Other screens (dashboard, hosts, jobs) deliberately stay manual-
refresh per the project's anti-flicker stance.
