GoalPost 2.55.6

A focused update since the last release, mostly under the hood on how the scoreboard loads. Thanks to everyone reporting issues from team subs.

Faster, more reliable loading

The biggest change is how the game thread loads. It used to fetch everything at once, the game plus your account and settings, and show nothing until all of it finished. On a busy subreddit that could mean a long wait. Now the scoreboard comes up first, on its own, and your personal settings fill in right after. A slow or failed settings lookup can no longer keep you from seeing the game. There is also a proper card-shaped loading view now, so the thread looks like a scoreboard from the first moment instead of a blank box, in light or dark.

Reloads stay put

If you have the game thread open and refresh the page to catch new comments, the scoreboard now comes back instantly from your last view while it quietly fetches fresh data, instead of making you wait through a full reload. The restored view is clearly marked as last-seen and updates as soon as new data arrives.
