Description

Could be potentially hidden by adding a short delay between removing the spinner and showing the home screen:

Research direction

Start by reproducing the screen flash while connecting DevTools to a new app, then trace the connection flow where the spinner is removed and the home screen is shown. The issue provides a screenshot but no file or test location; done means the transition no longer visibly flashes between states.
