Brennan Benson 25da91d653 perf(dashboard): stop re-sending repo icon data URLs on every republish (#11089)
* perf(dashboard): stop re-sending repo icon data URLs on every republish

#11012 put repo icons on the dashboard snapshot keyed by repoId. Image icons
are data URLs capped at MAX_REPO_ICON_DATA_URL_LENGTH (400KB) and every repo
contributing a card ships one, while the snapshot republishes up to 4x/sec
(PUBLISH_THROTTLE_MS = 250) for as long as the pop-out is open. Icons change
about never, so that structured-clones megabytes per second across the window
boundary for bytes the pop-out already has.

Publish the map only when it actually changed, comparing by reference since
icons come off immutable store repo records. The two paths where the pop-out
could be starting from nothing — it opened, or it mounted and asked — still
force a full send, so the retained copy can never be the only one.

The pop-out keeps the last map it was given when a republish omits the field.
An explicitly empty map still clears, so removing an icon works.

repoIconsByRepoId was already optional on DashboardSnapshot and
isDashboardRepoIcons already returns true for undefined, so the main-process
validator needed no change.

* fix(dashboard): keep repo icons in the main-process snapshot cache

The bridge now omits an unchanged repoIconsByRepoId from republishes, so the
cached snapshot main replays to a mounting pop-out could be icon-less, blanking
the board's repo glyphs until the forced publish landed. Carry the last map
into the cache; the forwarded payload is unchanged.

Also covers the forced full sends (open, reopen, snapshot request) that no test
exercised.

* test(dashboard): pin the icon omit on the throttled trailing republish

* fix(dashboard): keep the popout bridge effect off the react-doctor gate

The changed-code quality gate reports react-doctor findings that overlap
added lines, and effect-needs-cleanup spans the whole publish effect — so
this PR's edits inside it turned a pre-existing false positive into a red
static-analysis check. Hoisting the store subscriber leaves the effect
owning one disposable; behaviour is unchanged.

* docs(dashboard): correct why watchSnapshotInputs sits outside the effect

The effect owns four disposables (offOpenChanged, offRequested, the store
unsubscribe, and the trailing timer), not one. State the real reason the
subscribe is hoisted so nobody inlines it back and re-reds the gate.

* test(dashboard): pin that the bridge subscribes only while the pop-out is open

The lazy wiring exists so an enabled-but-closed pop-out costs nothing — a live
subscriber would rebuild a cross-worktree snapshot on unrelated store writes.
Nothing pinned the unsubscribe on close.
