Description
Problem
When refreshing dashboard data and switching browser tabs, the dashboard view can unmount. That unmount triggers an AbortController (or equivalent cancellation), which aborts the in-flight refresh even though the user still expects the data load to complete.
Expected
Refreshing dashboard data should remain resilient to tab visibility changes / unmount timing, or cancellation should only happen when the user explicitly navigates away or cancels the operation—not merely from tab switching during a refresh.
Notes
Worth tracing: what unmounts on tab blur/hidden, and whether abort is tied to component lifecycle too aggressively.
