The bottom-left settings button and the settings page both read profilePictureUrl, but only the settings page had a fallback (initials avatar) - the button silently fell back to a gear. The URL itself was usually null because fetchProfilePicture raced the background OAuth avatar sync with a fixed 500ms delay and never retried, and a missing bucket object simply resolved to null. - useConfigButtonIcon: fall back to the same initials avatar as the settings page instead of the gear when no picture URL is available. - UseSession: fetch the profile picture when syncOAuthAvatar settles (init and SIGNED_IN) instead of after an arbitrary 500ms. - fetchProfilePicture: when the bucket copy is missing, fall back to the OAuth provider's own photo URL so the picture shows immediately on first login - unless the user explicitly uploaded/removed a picture (metadata source 'upload'), preserving the remove flow.
