Index card — the docs below are the canonical explanation; deep-tier pattern pages additionally carry invariants and emulation notes.

Category: PWA · Tier: light · Risk: low — UI prompt only, no forced reload

A pending service-worker update rides the next client-side navigation silently, or for navigation-less sessions surfaces one persistent reload toast after 30 minutes, and never auto-activates with skipWaiting().

When to use: Use when rolling out a new service-worker version without disrupting an in-progress user session.
