Two issues with the initial implementation:
- Counter only appeared after the first SSE event arrived (scholarProgress null
kept the v-else static template showing until a scholar completed)
- First events were often dropped because the EventSource hadn't subscribed yet
Fix:
- Backend: emit an initial scholar_progress kickoff event (0/0/N) at the
start of run_scholar_iteration so the frontend receives total early
- Frontend: gate on isLikelyRunning alone (not scholarProgress); use optional
chaining with fallbacks so "0 / … visited · 0 finished" shows immediately
when a run starts, before any SSE events arrive
