Problem

The Batch page has no loading indicator while jobs are being submitted or polled, and no user-friendly error display when requests fail. Users see blank content or unhandled promise rejections.

Work

  • Add a skeleton loader component while the batch job list is loading.
  • Show an inline error banner (with retry button) when the API call fails.
  • Display a spinner or progress indicator while a new batch job is being submitted.
  • Handle the case where the job list is empty with a helpful empty-state message.

Acceptance Criteria

  • While the batch job list loads, a skeleton or spinner is shown.
  • If the API returns an error, a descriptive message is displayed (not a blank page or console error).
  • Submitting a new batch job shows a loading state on the submit button.
  • Empty state message is shown when there are no jobs.

[Repo Manager] Triaged. The Batch page (Batch.tsx) has a submission spinner and error banner, but is missing: (1) a job history list that polls /jobs, (2) skeleton loaders while the job list loads, (3) an empty state when no jobs exist. Assigning to @developer for implementation.

Triage Assessment

Priority: P2 (highest among current agent-ready issues)
Complexity: Medium
Status: Partially implemented

Current State

The Batch page (frontend/src/pages/Batch.tsx) already has:

  • Spinner/loading indicator during batch job submission (lines 106-112)
  • Error state with descriptive message and dismiss button (lines 115-133)

Remaining Work

The following acceptance criteria items are NOT yet satisfied:

  1. Skeleton loader while the batch job list is loading -- currently no skeleton component exists
  2. Empty state message when there are no jobs -- page shows nothing until a batch is submitted
  3. Retry button on error -- currently only a "Dismiss" button exists, not a proper retry

Decision

Assigning to @developer for completion. The remaining work is focused frontend changes in a single file.
