[Bug - Partner Center] Listings validation reruns on every reload and produces inconsistent language status #541

Description

@maximtop

Store Listings validation runs again on every page reload even when nothing was changed. Between reloads, different languages can switch between Validating, Incomplete, and Complete without any edits. This makes the page unreliable and sometimes blocks publishing.

To Reproduce

  1. Open an existing extension submission in Microsoft Partner Center.
  2. Go to Store listings.
  3. Wait for validation to finish.
  4. Reload the page without changing anything.
  5. Repeat a few times.
  6. Observe that validation starts again and different languages may be marked invalid on different reloads.

Expected behavior
Validation results should stay stable if the listing was not changed. Reloading the page should not restart validation or randomly mark other languages as invalid.

Screenshots
I attached screenshots and a video showing the issue:

Desktop (please complete the following information):

  • OS: macOS Version 26.3.1 (a) (Build 25D771280a)
  • Browser: Google Chrome
  • Version: 146.0.7680.165 (Official Build) (arm64)

Additional context
The reported reason also changes between reloads. At different times the page suggested issues with links or formatting, but no listing content was changed. This looks like unstable validation in Partner Center rather than a real problem in the listing data.
