…rg#1315) Scope the grid to the active cluster so the shared `images` slice left by the previous page can no longer paint before the person's photos load. Track which cluster the slice holds via `loadedClusterId`; until it syncs, render from the `['person-images', clusterId]` query data, which is always scoped to the active id. Reading the slice once synced keeps the optimistic favourite toggle working. Adds a regression test that fails when the previous page's images render.

In `@frontend/src/pages/PersonImages/PersonImages.tsx`:
- Around line 55-61: The code uses a triple-cast to any when reading images from
data; replace that with an explicit BackendRes<{ images: Image[] }> typed
access. Change the expression for personImages to use (data as BackendRes<{
images: Image[] }> | undefined)?.data?.images ?? [] so you avoid "any" and
preserve types for images, leaving loadedClusterId, clusterId and images logic
unchanged; add an import or reference to BackendRes and Image if not already
present.
- Line 50: The component is calling setLoadedClusterId with clusterId from
useParams which can be undefined; update the logic in PersonImages (where
clusterId and setLoadedClusterId are used) to guard against undefined by
returning early if clusterId is undefined (or at least do not call
setLoadedClusterId when clusterId is undefined) so the derived check that picks
between Redux images and query data doesn't mistakenly treat a stale
loadedClusterId; ensure the early-return or conditional prevents running the
downstream image-selection logic when clusterId is missing.

Addresses CodeRabbit review on the PR: only treat the slice as synced when clusterId is defined, and type the query-data fallback explicitly instead of casting through any.

Pull request overview
This PR fixes a UI flash in the PersonImages page where images from the previously visited page could briefly render while the target person’s cluster images are still loading (due to a shared images Redux slice being reused across pages).
Changes:
- Track which
clusterIdthe sharedimagesslice currently represents (loadedClusterId) and only render from the slice once it matches the active route param. - While the slice is still “out of sync”, render images from the cluster-scoped React Query response (
['person-images', clusterId]) to prevent stale images from ever painting. - Add a regression test that pre-seeds the shared slice with previous-page images and asserts they never appear when navigating to a different cluster.

When a face cluster is opened from the Navbar search panel,
PersonImagesbriefly rendered the previous page's images before the person's photos loaded, producing the flash described in the issue. This PR scopes the grid to the active cluster so the stale images can never paint.Root cause: the original "redirect to
/ai-tagging" hypothesis did not match the code;PersonImageshas no such redirect (it only navigates on the user-clicked "Back to AI Tagging" button). The real cause is the sharedimagesRedux slice: the grid renders fromselectImages, which still holds whatever the previous page left there untilfetchClusterImagesresolves andsetImagesruns. For the first frame(s) that stale set is on screen. Thanks to @VanshajPoonia for independently confirming this and flagging the cached-navigation case.The fix (scoped to
PersonImages.tsx):loadedClusterIdmarker, set alongsidesetImageswhen the query succeeds.clusterId, read the slice (so the optimistic favourite toggle keeps working); during the brief window before it syncs, fall back to the['person-images', clusterId]React Query data, which is already scoped to the active id and can only ever be the correct person's photos.This does not rely on a loading flag, so it also covers person A to person B when B is already cached (
isLoadingisfalseimmediately while the slice still holds A for a tick), which was @VanshajPoonia's review point.Addressed Issues:
Fixes #1315
Screenshots/Recordings:
This is a sub-frame rendering flash, so it is covered by an automated regression test rather than a recording.
PersonImages.test.tsxpre-seeds the shared slice with a previous page's images, navigates to a different cluster, and asserts the previous images never paint (on the first frame and after the query resolves). The test fails against the pre-fix code and passes with the fix.Additional Notes:
Reading the slice once synced (rather than reading query data everywhere) is deliberate: the favourite/heart toggle updates the slice, and its
['images']cache invalidation does not match the['person-images', id]key, so reading query data everywhere would fix the flash but stop the heart icon from updating. The hybrid keeps both correct. Scope is limited toPersonImages.tsxand its test. Verified locally: full frontend suite (133 tests),tsc, and ESLint all pass.AI Usage Disclosure:
