Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

We run temporalio/ui:2.44.0 via docker compose and want to increase UI auto refresh frequency (e.g. for workflows count) without rebuilding. The refresh intervals appear hardcoded in the UI bundle, and we could not find config or env options to change them in the image.

Describe the solution you'd like

Expose UI auto refresh intervals via config or environment variables so self hosted users can adjust the cadence without a custom build. Defaults can remain unchanged when unset.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Building a custom UI image or mounting custom UI assets. Both add build and maintenance overhead.

Additional context

Hardcoded timers include workflow run refresh, workflow counts refresh backoff, and batch operation polling.

Research direction

Start by locating the hardcoded UI timers for workflow run refresh, workflow-count refresh backoff, and batch-operation polling, then inspect how configuration and environment variables are handled in the self-hosted image. The work is complete when these intervals can be adjusted without rebuilding, while unset values preserve the current defaults.
