Fast page loads and tab navigation caused visible flickering. This is because the global banners were mounted inside each route, so navigating remounted them and changed the page layout after rendering.

Also loaded balances, charts, and transaction lists replaced the skeletons abruptly.

How we fix it in this PR:

  • Mount global banners once above the router so their state survives navigation.
  • Fade loaded balances, charts, and transaction lists into place.

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The web application now provides global banners through a persistent provider and attaches their container to the active main element. Route-level banner rendering and obsolete device props were removed. Account and Lightning routes now show loading skeletons or fade-in content. Balance and Chart accept optional class names for loaded-state styling. Reduced-motion rules disable the new animations when requested.

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to c049f

The change reduces route and data-loading flicker, but global banners can still disappear briefly when switching into Lightning while it initializes. This is a bounded user-visible issue; the PR is otherwise mergeable with explicit owner awareness or follow-up.

globalBannersContainer during Lightning initialization, causing banners to
disappear while isLightningReady is false. Keep the loading state under Main or
move the banner container to a stable app-level host so navigation does not
detach it, and add a regression test covering navigation to Lightning before
readiness.

Global banners reloaded on every page change, causing visible
flicker. Keep them mounted between pages & fade in loaded content.
