### What happened?

Description

Clicking the user profile avatar in the navbar (top-right) triggers a brief white-screen flash before navigating to the settings page. This creates a jarring visual experience and breaks expected smooth client-side navigation.

---

Steps to Reproduce
1. Start the PictoPy application (npm run tauri dev).
2. Navigate to any page (Home, AI Tagging, Albums, etc.).
3. Click the user avatar in the top-right corner of the navbar.
4. Observe the white flash before the settings page loads.

---

Expected Behavior

Navigation to the settings page should be seamless, with no flicker or white-screen flash. It should behave like standard client-side routing.

---

Actual Behavior
• A complete white flash/blink appears on the screen.
• A full page reload occurs.
• The settings page loads only after the flash.
