    Bounty Description

    Problem Description
    Users must login twice to successfully authenticate. The first login attempt fails silently, requiring a second attempt to complete the authentication process. This happens despite successful session creation and cookie storage. The issue appears to be related to session handling between the React frontend and Express backend.

    Acceptance Criteria
    User should only need to login once
    Session should persist correctly after first login
    Login flow should properly handle session creation and cookie storage
    No silent failures in the authentication process
    Solution should maintain existing security measures

    Technical Details
    Frontend: React with TypeScript
    Backend: Express.js
    Authentication: Passport.js with local strategy
    Session Storage: PostgreSQL with connect-pg-simple
    Current session config uses:
    resave: false
    saveUninitialized: false
    Cookie settings: httpOnly, sameSite: 'lax'
    Issue appears in session handling between login success and redirect
