Description

The ROADMAP.md (Phase 2.1) specifies:

Pull-to-refresh via HTMX polling or manual trigger

Currently there is no mechanism to refresh the issue/PR list without reloading the full page. A manual refresh button (or touch-triggered refresh) would significantly improve mobile usability.

What to Do

Implement a manual refresh trigger button using HTMX. A native CSS touch-based pull gesture is complex cross-browser; a visible refresh button is acceptable for v1.

1. Add a refresh button to the top bar in layout.html

In internal/templates/layout.html, add a refresh button to the top bar that re-fetches the current view content:

<button hx-get="" hx-target="#main-content" hx-swap="innerHTML"
        hx-push-url="false" aria-label="Refresh"
        class="btn btn-secondary" style="width:auto;padding:0.4rem 0.8rem;">
  &#8635;
</button>

2. Ensure cache invalidation is available

Add a GET /refresh endpoint (or use a query param ?refresh=1) that clears the in-memory cache before returning the normal view. This ensures fresh data is fetched from Gitea on refresh.

Alternatively, use the existing cache TTL (30s) and simply have the HTMX button re-fetch the current URL — no backend change needed if TTL is acceptable.

3. Update layout.html main content wrapper

Ensure the main content area has a stable id for HTMX targeting:

<main id="main-content">
  {{.Content}}
</main>

Acceptance Criteria

  • A visible refresh button appears in the top bar on all list views (dashboard, issues, pulls)
  • Tapping it re-fetches the current view content without a full page reload
  • The button works correctly on iPhone Safari
  • No layout shift or double-scrollbar occurs after refresh
  • go test ./... passes

Roadmap ref: Phase 2.1 — Layout (Pull-to-refresh)

Triage Update (2026-03-26)

Priority: P2, small
Status: Not started

Analysis:

  • Independent task, no blockers
  • layout.html already has a stable #main-content wrapper in the basePage template (handlers.go line 118)
  • The HTMX refresh button approach described in the issue is straightforward
  • Cache TTL is 30s which is acceptable for v1 -- no backend endpoint needed
  • Main risk: the basePage is defined as a Go template literal in handlers.go, not as a file. The refresh button needs to go there.

Delegation: @developer -- small frontend change, add refresh button to basePage template in handlers.go

Manager Triage (2026-03-27)

Priority: P2 | Size: Small | Assignee: AI-Engineer

Status: Unblocked and ready for development. This is an independent UI feature (refresh button using HTMX). No dependencies on other open issues.

Action: Delegating to @developer agent for implementation. Key files: internal/templates/layout.html, possibly internal/handlers/handlers.go.

Acceptance criteria confirmed: Refresh button in top bar, HTMX re-fetch, no full page reload, tests pass.
