-- BUG/UI: `CubeLoader` (`index/frontend/src/components/ui/cube-loader.tsx`; the index repo only, nothing in `app/` references it) paints nothing. Its `<path>` carries `className="n3xd-cube-line"` and the header comment points at that rule plus `n3xd-build-cube` keyframes "in index.css" — neither exists in `frontend/src/index.css` (nor in the index repo, which has the same component). Every pending state using it shows an invisible SVG. Related to the global loading animation below.
+- CHORE/UI: pending states here are lucide's `Loader2` on `animate-spin`; the portal draws the brand mark instead (`index/frontend/src/components/ui/fluksio-loader.tsx` plus the `.fluksio-loader-line` rule at the foot of its `index.css`). Copying both across — the shadcn model, so the CSS travels with the component — would make one loading mark across the two shells.
 - CHORE/INFRA: the `generate-frontend-sdk` pre-commit hook runs `scripts/generate-client.sh`
   on any `backend/**` change, and that script ends by formatting the whole frontend tree —
   while `biome.json` excludes `src/client`, so it formats nothing the generator wrote. Every
