Show the problems inbox that a source stopped reporting ProblemResponse.stale has been computed and serialised on every row since the inbox was built; rowHtml never read it. A problem whose source has gone quiet looked identical to one still being reported, while it kept climbing the painhours ranking. The described screen already renders the badge, so the note on row_for that said the shipped screen still drops it is corrected in the same pass.
