No way to refresh a character from its own page

[Erilla]

Question

The character page is read-only. apps/web/src/app/characters/[region]/[realm]/[name]/page.tsx calls getCurrent, getHistory, and getRun (only when a ?job= is present), and 404s when there is no snapshot and no matching job. The single write path is the homepage form posting to /api/v1/searches.

That much is deliberate: character pages are permanent and crawlable, so a page load must not spend metered upstream work — otherwise a crawler would consume the anonymous rate limit and the shared Blizzard budget.

The gap is that a visitor looking at a stale character page has no way to ask for a fresh refresh from there. They must return to the homepage and paste the Raider.IO URL again, which is unobvious enough that it reads as the page being broken.

To decide:

• Whether the character page gets a refresh control that posts to the existing rate-limited /api/v1/searches endpoint, reusing the current reservation, freshness, and job-polling behaviour (it already polls ?job=).
• What it shows while a root is inside FRESHNESS_HOURS, where a search reuses the existing snapshot rather than running. Disabled with the next eligible time, or submit-and-reuse silently?
• Whether the control is visible to crawlers at all, given the reason reads are free.
