fix : homepage reload loop in local Docker/Firebase emulator setup

[AliRana30]

Description

This PR fixes the homepage reload loop in the local dev environment and stabilizes startup behavior.

Related Issue

Closes #385

Motivation and Context

The homepage was repeatedly reloading or staying blank during local development with Docker and Firebase emulators. This change prevents the app from re-triggering unstable startup paths and makes the homepage load normally.

How Has This Been Tested?

• Ran lint successfully.
• Verified the app responds at http://localhost:5173.
• Verified the emulator services are running and reachable.
