User pain point: skeleton loading.tsx files made the app feel like a sequence of page reloads, exposing backend latency. Replaced with a single 1px shimmer bar + crossfade via React's <ViewTransition>. Changes: - Enable experimental.viewTransition in next.config.ts - Add SmoothViewTransition wrapper (ViewTransition name=page-content) - Add LoadingFade component: thin animated bar instead of skeleton - Add RouteAnnouncer for a11y (screen readers + focus reset) - Add ::view-transition-old/new CSS for the crossfade (220ms, no jarring slide, respects prefers-reduced-motion) - Wrap admin/tuxedo/IRD layout children in SmoothViewTransition (sidebar/header/footer stay mounted; only the body fades) - Replace 19 skeleton loading.tsx files with the fade component Result: navigation now feels like a single app, not a series of preload-and-render events. The user never sees a 'skeleton of the page they're about to load.'
