Description
Hi,
we have this strange blank screen happening randomly for different users. In my case i have seen it when the CDN updates and for some reason the app cant refresh straight the content so we are stuck with a blank page.
We usually need to kill the process a few times to get the content to display. Usually clearing the cache is a faster process and its able to recover straight.
First is there a way to detect when the app is in this state? Second any ideas how to improve the initialization of the app so it doesnt suffer from this issues?
regards
Jorge Costa

Research direction
Start by reproducing the blank page during a CDN update or after cache deletion, then compare recovery after restarting the process and clearing the cache. Investigate the application's initialization path and whether it can detect the blank state. Done means the failure is reproducible and a documented fix or reliable recovery approach is verified.
