Since evaluations run asynchronously, it's not evident how up-to-date the evaluation data for a given package is. As a security team member triaging matching suggestions (and also before posting an issue) I want to be able to judge if I'm making decisions based on recent-enough data.

This should probably only display the age if it's older than some reasonable interval (e.g. 24 hours) to only alert users when necessary.

Evaluations have created_at and updated_at; the challenge here is to figure out where to stuff in that little detail so it's not intrusive but still easy-enough to access when needed.

Highlighting would be cherry on top, but the general information should be accessible through the UI at any time. But also, very out of date evaluations would be an operations problem, so that should be covered by alerts to maintainers. Evaluations have `created_at` and `updated_at`; the challenge here is to figure out where to stuff in that little detail so it's not intrusive but still easy-enough to access when needed.
