📄 Description

This is a nice, straightforward improvement we can make to syncing before going all the way and refreshing all clients when the server receives new data (#1496).

See the MDN page for the event:

The visibilitychange event is fired at the document when the contents of its tab have become visible or have been hidden.

...

This event fires with a visibilityState of hidden when a user navigates to a new page, switches tabs, closes the tab, minimizes or closes the browser, or, on mobile, switches from the browser to a different app. Transitioning to hidden is the last event that's reliably observable by the page, so developers should treat it as the likely end of the user's session (for example, for sending analytics data).

Syncing when we receive this event ensures that we're presenting fresh data to the user when they come back to the tab, browser window, or mobile PWA, rather than forcing them to manually trigger a sync.
