Description
We already have the coverage monitor script that can generate graphs of coverage. We could consider extending the ui with a view that starts from now and periodically computes coverage (not storing any historical data).

Research direction
Start by reading common/src/buttercup/common/coverage_monitor.py to understand how coverage graphs are generated. Then trace the existing UI entry point and determine where a view can periodically invoke coverage computation without storing history. Done means the UI shows current coverage information and refreshes it over time without retaining historical data.
