February 2026 focused on strengthening authentication UX and session reliability in NHSDigital/eps-prescription-tracker-ui. Delivered Unified User Session Management and Loading UX during Authentication, including enhancements to logout flow, session lifecycle handling, and user-facing loading indicators. Implemented robust handling for blocked rendering during login (loading page), and extended the role-change path with an isSigningOut-aware loading state to ensure clean transitions. These changes reduce user confusion during login/logout and role changes, improve security visibility, and lay groundwork for smoother incident response.
