Description
Noticed this when I was on a slow connection, clicking on "Checkout" instantly disables the button, but while the process continues the button re-enables but the UI hasn't changes to reflect the change and I'm able to click on "Checkout" again.
Repro
- Throttle speed
- Open PR
- Click on "Checkout"
- See "Checkout" button get re-enabled after a few seconds while page is still processing (see progress bar in sidebar)
Expected
- Button should only be re-enabled once UI has updated

Research direction
Start by reproducing the issue with throttled network speed in the pull request checkout flow, watching the Checkout button and the sidebar progress bar. Trace the checkout UI entry point and its processing state; done means the button stays disabled until the UI reflects the completed checkout update.
