With the current authResolved gating, users who are not authorized will briefly see the placeholder button and then it will disappear once onAuthResult fires with allowed: false, causing a layout shift (and a short-lived “Delete” affordance). If the goal is to avoid layout shifts in all cases, consider reserving the space even after auth resolves but is denied (e.g., keep a disabled button with visibility: hidden/aria-hidden, or a fixed-size container) rather than removing it entirely.

The placeholder button exists to prevent layout shift for authorized users (the common case). Making it disabled would cause a visible white -> grey -> white flicker as it transitions to the real button.

For unauthorized users, there would be a brief flash of the placeholder before it disappears, but this comment suggests an empty placeholder for that case - which means these 2 goals are contradictory. Since we check auth first before making the decision of 'showing' it or not, we can't know which placeholder type to use before the auth is done.

Current approach leans toward the most common case so we see zero layout shift.

But this is something that might be a design decision to discuss. (delete button is right aligned)
