Description

The frontend fetches data to validate that UI elements can be shown (i.e. authentication checks) and to display file listings (i.e. viewing files owned). There is not loading state associated with "data is loading", leading to blank screens and uncomfortable layout shifts and flickering.

Because of how @tanstack/react-query works, the isLoading / isPending state would be leveraged to display loading states that would hide half-baked UI.
