Auth controls were gated behind pointer intent, so the hardcoded Log In fallback rendered until first hover. Load the lazy controls eagerly and use a neutral avatar-sized skeleton as the loading fallback instead of the Log In button.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Navbar authentication controls now use useCurrentUserQuery state. Interaction-triggered loading was removed. Loading states render a pulsing skeleton, while unauthenticated state renders the sign-in link. The mobile menu now uses Panel and PanelContent.

Changes

Navbar updates

Layer / File(s) Summary
Current-user authentication flow
src/components/Navbar.tsx, src/components/NavbarAuthControls.tsx
Navbar uses current-user query state, removes interaction-triggered loading and event handlers, renders lazy desktop controls through Suspense, and shows loading placeholders during authentication resolution.
Panel-based mobile navigation
src/components/Navbar.tsx
The mobile menu uses Panel and PanelContent instead of Collapsible and CollapsibleContent.

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to d1369

Authenticated users on mobile can still briefly see “Sign In” while the authentication controls load, so the fix is incomplete on that path. The PR is mergeable with explicit owner awareness and follow-up.

573-589: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Use the query-aware fallback for mobile authentication controls.

getAuthControlsFallback is connected only to desktop renderAuthControls. The mobile branch still delays LazyMobileNavbarAuthControls until mobileMenuOpen and uses signIn as the Suspense fallback. On a slow first mobile-menu open, a signed-in user can see “Sign In” during lazy loading. Pass the query-aware fallback or state into MobileNavigation, or load the mobile controls eagerly, and show the skeleton until authentication state is known.
