The UserPreferences watchQuery in mounted() had no error handling and
refetched on every cache broadcast. With errorPolicy 'all' (the client
default), a resolver returning partial data (200 + errors) writes an
incomplete result to the cache, so the watched query can never be
satisfied and Apollo reobserves/refetches in a tight loop (~14 POST/s
per tab against Stellate, observed during the 2026-08-06 maintenance
window).
Watch the cache only (cache-only watchers can never trigger network
requests), populate it with a single one-shot query, log watcher
errors, and unsubscribe on unmount.

userPreferencesSubscription needs to be added to data()


// Single network fetch to populate the cache; the watcher above receives
// this result and any later userPreferences mutation writes.
await this.apollo.query({ query: userPreferencesQuery });

Doesn't the watchQuery above also trigger an initial query?

Yea it should. In general this was part of several of us debugging with claude. I think in this case, it really depends on what and when the cache might get updated. I though I recalled you had some other in-page actions that could update user preferences. If so, those would need to force a network call or otherwise deliberately update the cache with the new data for this approach to work.
