- Remove useless forceFilterRef and its stale useEffect; use forceFilter
prop directly in JSX
- Show skeleton immediately while username is being fetched (!username
condition) instead of flashing "No items yet"
- Track username fetch failure with usernameError state and surface an
error message with a working Retry button
- Fix retry: setUsername("") was a no-op (same value → React bails out);
use usernameRetryCount in deps to actually re-trigger the fetch
- Guard error UI with allItems.length === 0 so stale items stay visible
if a retry fails mid-session
