Summary
Fixes a race condition that causes a flash of unauthenticated state during initial token fetch.
Problem
useAccessTokenwas reportingloading: falsewhile fetching the initial token, causing downstream consumers to briefly show unauthenticated state before the token arrived.This issue necessitated workarounds like checking
!accessTokenin loading calculations (see workos/template-convex-nextjs-authkit#5), which breaks for logged-out users.Solution
isInitialTokenLoadingstate to track initial token fetchloading: trueuntil the initial fetch completesloading: falseas expectedTesting
Updated tests to verify the loading state is shown during initial token fetch.
