Pull request overview
This PR updates the frontend navbar to make the user identity and access state explicit: authenticated sessions show a “User ID”, unauthenticated sessions are labeled unknown and marked as read-only, with a direct login call-to-action in the dropdown.
Changes:
- Introduces a tri-state auth UI (
logged in/read only/checking access) and renames the navbar identity label to “User ID”. - Adds a read-only visual cue (button color + “(read only)” suffix) and a “Login to edit bookings” dropdown action when unauthenticated.
- Updates navbar tests to assert the new label/status strings and the login prompt.
