Research direction

Start by reproducing the failure with the getting-started example or the linked faust-auth-demo white-label branch, using Safari 18.5 and the reported package versions. Trace the login flow through the authentication-required page and verify that Safari retains authentication after navigation, matching the behavior reported in other browsers.
