Description

With #2918 the inactivity timeout was disabled for unstable hidden tabs.

Without that fix the app would load for 5 minutes when the user opens a link in a new tab which is initially not visible and focuses it before the app is stable.

Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by reproducing the case where a link opens in an initially invisible tab, then trace the autoupdate connection and inactivity-timeout handling for hidden tabs. Done means an invisible tab does not open an autoupdate connection before it becomes visible and stable.
