Research direction
Investigate the homepage component in the frontend codebase. Look for existing idle detection or timer utilities. Consider using requestIdleCallback or setTimeout with mouse/touch events to reset the timer. The implementation should reload the page using window.location.reload() after inactivity. Check previous comments for any suggestions or constraints.
