Description
Angular 19
Hi, I have been playing around learning how to protect some routes with authentication
my problem is that the user state takes a moment to properly notify the final resolution
meaning that, if a user is authenticated and access to a protected route, the user state returns null and then the user, breaking the protection
I have been trying different techniques like BehaviorSubject and filtering the undefined state to know that firebase still didn't provide a final state
I have also found a guy getting the session from the cookies https://medium.com/@ignatovich.dm/securing-angular-applications-with-route-guards-and-firebase-auth-54c02bdd4811 it is sync and with a straight answer
if I could find some examples for these use cases I will appreciate !

Research direction
No file, test, or entry point is named; the issue asks for guidance on delaying Angular route guards until Firebase authentication resolves. First clarify the expected AngularFire API or example scope, then document a reproducible authenticated-route example and verify it does not redirect during the unresolved state.
