+"""
+A signed-in person is never shown the sign-in form.
+
+Found live on meshbay.org (2026-09-14): a browser already signed in as one
+account opened on `#/login` — a hash left in the address bar, restored with the
+session — and the router drew the login form, prefilled by the browser with
+another account's name and passphrase, under a navigation bar and a sidebar
+that already showed the first account and its Administration entry. The router
+tested the route before it tested for a user.
+
+Source-level, as the other routing guards here are: the SPA has no component
+test harness, and the whole defect is the order of two conditions.
