[P1] Avoid gating user identification on posthog.__loaded
The effect now skips identify until posthog.__loaded is true, but the dependency array only tracks the PostHog object reference and the user. When the user data resolves before the PostHog script finishes loading, the effect runs with __loaded === false and exits, then never re‑runs after initialization because neither dependency changes. The user is therefore never identified and all subsequent events remain anonymous. Consider removing the __loaded guard or triggering the effect again when the initialization flag flips.

📘 Description
Resolved numerous console errors occurring in local development mode by conditionally disabling PostHog initialization and improving its integration to gracefully handle missing keys or uninitialized states. This prevents 401, 404, and MIME type errors related to PostHog when running locally.
