- apex / user
- Analysis Summary
- Tests whether the large banner placeholder remains visible while Quest Home is loading.
- Why It Matters
- This is a small loading-state change that can affect how much the Quest Home layout shifts or appears empty when opened.
- It should not be expanded into a claim about the fully loaded banner without another consumer.
- Detailed Description
- By default, the Quest Home loading screen shows both a top banner placeholder and quest-card placeholders.
- Variant 1 keeps the top placeholder, while Variant 2 removes it so the card skeleton starts higher on the page.
- The configuration also contains a default-banner flag, but the current Canary consumer only reads the loading placeholder value.
- The evidence does not confirm that the fully loaded default banner is removed.
