v2.10.2 - API Consolidation Performance Improvements

Performance Improvements

API Request Consolidation (#313)

Major performance optimization that reduces frontend API requests by 88%:

• Before: 96 API requests per minute (8 calls every 5 seconds)
• After: 12 API requests per minute (1 call every 5 seconds)
• Impact: Eliminates rate limiting 429 errors under normal usage

What Changed

• Created new consolidated /api/poll endpoint that combines:
  • Connection status
  • Nodes data with mobility detection
  • Recent messages
  • Unread counts (channels + DMs)
  • Channel list
  • Telemetry availability
  • System configuration
  • Device configuration
• Updated frontend to use single polling endpoint instead of multiple individual calls
• All data sections respect existing permission rules
• Graceful degradation if individual sections fail
• Backward compatible - all individual endpoints still functional

Technical Details

• Added 21 comprehensive API contract tests documenting expected behavior
• Maintains all existing functionality while reducing request volume
• Permission-based filtering ensures users only receive authorized data

What's Changed

• perf: Consolidate API polling to reduce request volume by 88% by @Yeraze in #313
