fetchUser() existed and was called from nowhere. The signed-in user - including
the permission list every v-if in the app reads - was written once at login and
cached in localStorage, and nothing ever refreshed it. So an admin granted
somebody guides.create, the person was told they had it, and the New guide
button stayed hidden until they happened to log out and back in. Nothing on
screen explained why, and the natural conclusion is that the permission system
is broken.
Called on app boot, so a permission change lands on the next page load.
Reproduced before and after: button hidden, permission granted mid-session,
plain reload, button there.
Only a 401 logs out now. The old handler logged out on ANY failure, so an API
restart or a network blip would have thrown people out of sessions they still
held - a cached user is stale, not invalid.
