+### 6.3 前端 CronPoolMonitor 不响应 visibilitychange（S6 缺口，T2 暴露）— ✅ RESOLVED (S6 重构)
 
 **症状**：`frontend/web/src/pages/CronPoolMonitor.test.tsx` 的 `it.fails('listens to visibilitychange ...')`。
 CronPoolMonitor 当前的 `useEffect` 只做了 `setInterval(loadData, 5000)` + `clearInterval` 清理，不监听 `document.visibilitychange`。
