Improves loading state logic to show spinner immediately when data hasn't resolved yet, preventing empty state flash before data loads.

Changes

  • Shows loading spinner immediately if no data and not yet resolved
  • Prevents jarring empty state → loading → content transition

UX Impact

  • No visual flash of empty state
  • Loading spinner appears immediately when expected

Is there anything I need to do to see/duplicate the 'flash' issue? I'd like to confirm the issue before testing the fix, but I don't typically see a flash when the form responses page loads.
