Feed Poll
The process of checking a previously-submitted Walmart feed's processing status — required because MP_ITEM is asynchronous.
ShelfSEO polls every 10 minutes and transitions submitted rows to accepted (zero failures) or rejected (any item failed, with per-item error code).
Stale-row sweep: feeds INPROGRESS for >24h get marked failed so the dashboard doesn't show forever-pending state.
