Summary of Changes

Hello @fulleni, I'm Gemini Code Assist1! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!

This pull request significantly refactors the application's authentication and account linking mechanisms. By introducing a dedicated page for account linking and simplifying the main authentication page, the PR aims to improve the clarity, maintainability, and user experience of these critical flows. The underlying routing logic has been comprehensively updated to reflect this architectural change, ensuring correct navigation and state management across different user authentication statuses.

Highlights

  • Authentication Flow Separation: The core authentication flow for new users and the account linking process for anonymous users have been separated into distinct UI pages and routing paths. This simplifies the logic for each flow.
  • New Account Linking Page: A dedicated AccountLinkingPage has been introduced to handle the process of anonymous users linking their accounts to an email, providing a clearer user experience.
  • Simplified Authentication Page: The AuthenticationPage has been streamlined to focus solely on initial sign-in and sign-up, removing the complex conditional logic previously used to adapt it for account linking.
  • Router Refactoring: The GoRouter configuration has been updated to support the new separate account linking flow as a top-level route, and the redirect logic has been refined to better manage user states (unauthenticated, anonymous, authenticated) across these distinct paths.
  • Localization Update: The accountLinkingHeadline text has been updated to a more concise 'Link Account' in both English and Arabic.

Code Review

This pull request is a great refactoring of the authentication and account linking flows. Separating the account linking process into its own dedicated page and top-level route significantly simplifies the existing AuthenticationPage and clarifies the routing logic in go_router. The new redirect logic is much cleaner and easier to follow.

I have one suggestion in request_code_page.dart to improve decoupling and make the component more reusable by using a callback for navigation instead of inspecting the router's state. Overall, these are excellent changes that improve the maintainability and structure of the authentication feature.

- Remove incorrect/old translations in Arabic and English
- Simplify messages to remove reference to "linking" an account
- Focus on the benefit of signing up to access information across devices
