Subject: [PATCH] fix: faster calendar sync - 2min interval, sync on tab focus

- Reduced cache stale threshold from 15 minutes to 2 minutes
- Reduced background sync polling from 15 minutes to 2 minutes
- Added visibilitychange listener: syncs calendars and tasks when
  the user switches back to the tab (catches external edits in
  Apple Calendar, Google Calendar, etc.)

v1.74.7
