Description

Summary

Connect the membership system (auth, profiles, admin) to the existing US-RSE React app — update navigation, add sign-in/sign-up flows to the UI, and link profiles throughout the site.

Requirements

  • Add Sign In / Sign Up buttons to the navbar (replace or complement "Join Us")
  • Signed-in state: show user avatar + dropdown (profile, settings, sign out)
  • Admin users see "Dashboard" link in their dropdown
  • Link board member names on Governance/Board pages to their member profiles
  • Add "View your profile" to the Community section
  • Update footer with member-related links (Sign In, My Profile, Admin)
  • Mobile menu: auth state reflected (sign in vs signed-in user)
  • 404 page for invalid profile slugs
  • Loading states for auth-dependent UI

Context

Parent issue: #1916
Depends on: #1918 (auth), #1919 (profiles) — this is the final integration step

Implementation Notes

  • Nav component needs auth context to conditionally render sign-in vs avatar
  • Consider a <UserMenu> dropdown component for signed-in state
  • Board page photos can link to /members/:slug once profiles exist
  • This is the "glue" issue — it's about connecting pieces, not building new systems

Research direction

Start with the Nav component and auth context, then trace the Board/Governance pages, Community section, footer, and mobile menu. Review the auth and profiles work in #1918 and #1919 before connecting their existing pieces. Done means each listed auth, profile-linking, invalid-slug, and loading-state requirement works across desktop and mobile UI.
