+/**
+ * REGRESSION PREVENTION TESTS for Auto-Login Race Condition Bug
+ *
+ * A race condition bug was introduced and later fixed in the auto-login flow.
+ *
+ * THE BUG:
+ * The handleAutoLoginError function had this problematic code:
+ *
+ * ```javascript
+ * const manualLoginNotAuthenticated =
+ *   (!isAuthenticated && !IS_AUTO_LOGIN) ||
+ *   (!isAuthenticated && autoLogin !== undefined && !autoLogin);
+ *
+ * if (manualLoginNotAuthenticated) {
+ *   await mutationLogout();  // <-- BUG: Clears valid HttpOnly cookies!
+ *   navigate("/login" + ...); // <-- BUG: Premature redirect!
+ * }
+ * ```
+ *
+ * WHY IT'S A BUG:
+ * 1. isAuthenticated defaults to false in Zustand
+ * 2. When user opens new tab (e.g., MCP Server button), Zustand resets
+ * 3. isAuthenticated is false BEFORE useGetAuthSession validates cookies
+ * 4. This code runs and clears VALID cookies with mutationLogout()
+ * 5. User is incorrectly logged out
+ *
+ * THE FIX:
+ * Remove the manualLoginNotAuthenticated branch entirely.
+ * Let ProtectedRoute handle auth redirects AFTER session validation.
+ *
+ * THESE TESTS WILL FAIL IF:
+ * 1. Someone re-adds the manualLoginNotAuthenticated check
+ * 2. Someone calls mutationLogout in handleAutoLoginError
+ * 3. Someone calls navigate("/login") in handleAutoLoginError
+ */

+ * The isSessionReady logic:
+ * - Returns true immediately if autoLogin === true (auto-login mode handles its own timing)
+ * - Returns isSessionFetched if autoLogin === false (wait for session validation)
+ * - Returns false otherwise (initial state, wait for autoLogin to be determined)
