Fix Auth Wrapper Rerendering Bug

PR Title

fix(auth): avoid unstable Zustand selector arrays in auth wrapper components. Closes #999

Summary

This PR fixes a rerender storm in frontend auth-aware components that used Zustand selectors returning new arrays, e.g.:

  • useAuthStore(state => [state.isAuthenticated(), state.service.fetchUserAccess])
  • usePluginConfigurationStore(state => [state.hydrate])

In React/Zustand, an array selector returns a fresh array each render, causing pointer inequality and repeated updates ([] !== []).

Now, each state value/function is selected separately via stable selector callbacks:

  • useAuthStore(state => state.isAuthenticated())
  • useAuthStore(state => state.service.fetchUserAccess)
  • usePluginConfigurationStore(state => state.hydrate)

Problem

  • Components were rerendering excessively due to unstable array references from selectors
  • Every render created a new array object [], causing inequality checks to fail during React dependency tracking
  • This triggered unnecessary useEffect runs and state subscription updates
  • Performance degradation in auth-related UI interactions

Solution

Split array-returning selectors into individual stable selectors for each state property/method.

Affected Files

  1. frontend/src/wrappers/AuthGuard.jsx
  2. frontend/src/wrappers/IfAuthRedirectGuard.jsx
  3. frontend/src/wrappers/withAuth.jsx
  4. frontend/src/components/auth/Logout.jsx
  5. frontend/src/components/common/form/TagSelectInput.jsx
  6. frontend/src/hooks/useQuotaBadge.jsx

Changes Breakdown

AuthGuard.jsx

  • Before: Array destructuring in single selector
  • After: Separate individual selectors for loading and isAuthenticated

WithAuth.jsx

  • Before: Array destructuring for fetchPluginsConf
  • After: Direct selector for fetchPluginsConf function

Logout.jsx

  • Before: [loading, logoutUser] array destructuring
  • After: Separate selectors for each value

TagSelectInput.jsx

  • Before: Single array selector for [loading, error, allTags, fetchAll, createTag]
  • After: Individual selectors for each state property

useQuotaBadge.jsx

  • Before: [access, fetchUserAccess] array destructuring
  • After: Separate selectors for each property

IfAuthRedirectGuard.jsx

  • Before: Array selectors for loading and isAuthenticated
  • After: Individual selectors (already split)

- Change from array destructuring to individual store calls
- Prevents infinite re-renders caused by [] != [] comparison
- Components now only re-render on actual auth state changes
- Improves performance in AuthGuard, withAuth, and IfAuthRedirectGuard

Fixes: intelowlproject#3403
- Updated Logout component to separately retrieve loading state and logoutUser function from useAuthStore.
- Refactored TagSelectInput component to individually access loading, error, allTags, fetchAll, and createTag from useTagsStore.
- Modified TagForm to separately access updateTag and createTag from useTagsStore.
- Adjusted useQuotaBadge hook to retrieve access and fetchUserAccess separately from useAuthStore.
- Simplified withAuth wrapper by changing fetchPluginsConf to directly access hydrate from usePluginConfigurationStore.
