Description
Hi,
when using the saml login as a first time user, the user hangs with a blank screen while nextcloud is copying the initial files. This can take a few seconds. Is there any possibility to get a nice loading screen?
Steps to reproduce
- create new user
- login into sso with newly created user
- login into nextcloud for the first time
- experience blank screen while waiting to login
Expected behaviour
There is a loading screen which tells the user to wait for login.
Actual behaviour
Blank screen is shown

Research direction
Start by tracing the SAML first-login flow in the user_saml app, focusing on the period when Nextcloud copies initial files and the blank screen is shown. Identify the relevant login entry point and existing UI feedback, then verify that a visible loading message appears until login completes.
