Law / How does Poland decide that you're a resident for tax purposes? [2]

I'm a US-Polish dual citizen with a remote job in tech planning to move to Europe in September. My startup is based in both Sweden and the US, and my employer is very willing to let me live and work in Europe, especially since I won't need a visa to do so. I'm interested in potentially moving to Poland at the beginning for a short while (ideally 8 - 10 months) because I miss it dearly and I'd love to improve my Polish. In fact, I already have a plane ticket to London for early September and can potentially move anywhere in the EU from there. The problem is, I desperately want to avoid paying Polish taxes, as it will cost me around $13,000 more per year than what I pay now. I understand that someone is considered a resident for tax purposes after being in Poland for 6 months. The 2023 tax year shouldn't be a problem, as I'll only be in Poland for about 4 months, but what about 2024? I'm not trying to evade the Polish tax system here or do anything illegal. I'm just concerned because I've heard that leases in Poland are usually a minimum of 12 months. I don't mind living in a different country and paying double rent for a few months at the end of the lease (let's say June-August 2024 if I sign a lease that ends by September 2024). But how does Polish law establish someone's tax residency? I'd hope the government doesn't equate having a lease and paying rent with residency if I'm not physically present in Poland for more than 6 months in 2024. Any advice or insight here would be greatly appreciated!
