## Analytics — Live Activity Feed
- Dedicated /stats/live standalone page (mirrors /stats/logs pattern)
- Consistent 3-tab navigation across Statistics / Live Feed / Visit Logs
- checkForUpdates() with skipRender(): O(1) MAX(id) poll — ~100-byte response on no-change
- latestVisitId sentinel (-1) prevents unnecessary first-poll re-render
- Cache key versioned by latestVisitId — fixes bug where concurrent users
could permanently miss a visit due to stale thundering-herd cache
- 3-second thundering-herd cache (key: url_id + date + filters + latestVisitId)
- Country flags via flagcdn.com (precomputed in PHP, Alpine.js CSP-safe onerror)
- time_ago precomputed in PHP — no Carbon::parse() double-instantiation in Blade
- SELECT only 12 needed columns instead of SELECT *; limit 25 rows
- wire:poll.5s.visible — polling stops when widget is off-screen
