• This polling path ignores the Boolean returned by refreshPodcastFeed. In PodcastManagerImpl, a true result means the refresh API reported EpisodeFound, but the actual podcast refresh is started asynchronously, so countEpisodesByPodcast can still be 0 immediately afterward. That can leave users on the loading page and trigger another 20-second poll even after the first episode is ready.

                    podcastManager.refreshPodcastFeed(podcast)
                    val count = podcastManager.countEpisodesByPodcast(podcast.uuid)
                    if (count > 0) {
