Describe your problem

Upon successful logout, the SPA logout flow currently sends a 204 No Content response (reference). This differs from other flows (e.g., login), which return a 200 OK response with a JSON payload that includes instructions for further actions, most notably the redirect_browser_to action.

According to the documentation, post-logout redirect is already supported for server-rendered browser applications and the returnTo URL can already be specified in the Kratos config (default_browser_return_url) and when creating the logout flow (reference).

It would be nice to have it also for SPAs for consistent behaviour.

Describe your ideal solution

The logout flow for SPAs should return a 200 OK response with a JSON payload that allows the application to perform post-logout actions, such as redirecting the user to a specific URL.

Example
200 OK

{
  "continue_with": [
    {
      "action": "redirect_browser_to",
      "redirect_browser_to": "http://localhost:4455/"
    }
  ]
}

Workarounds or alternatives

Currently I hard-code the post-logout redirect URL in the SPA.
