What
The poller that watches pull request status now owns its timers, backoff and last snapshot outside the UI, so its state is no longer torn down and rebuilt whenever the view re-renders.
Details
The UI subscribes to it rather than driving it from effects.
Existing disable telemetry (bad_streak_disabled, slow_disabled with elapsed_ms) under github_pr_status_direct is unchanged.

Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
