@victorlin Can you record what network requests (if any) are happening on the navigation back?

(I hate that there's a separate network request for logged in status, but there is because of no SSR.)

FWIW, now that the /whoami page is built with the App Router, the component could be converted to a server-side thing, I think.

I'm not doing it as part of the /pathogens port, but I am considering doing something similar with the /list-resources call that's used to build that page.
