      Description of problem:

       A regression has been identified in the Assisted Installer OVE UI for versions 4.21 and 4.22 in disconnected environments. Upon initial launch or page refresh, the UI intermittently displays a blank page containing only a spinning wheel and the text "Technology Preview."During this state, the expected cluster detail forms and configuration fields are completely missing. The issue is transient, typically lasting a fraction of a second to a few seconds, but often fails to transition to the actual application state, causing failures in automated testing. This behavior was not present in version 4.20.z.  

      Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

          4.22.z, 4.21.z

      How reproducible:

          Intermittent (High Frequency)

      Steps to Reproduce:

      1. Launch the Disconnected Assisted Installer OVE UI (v4.21 or v4.22).
      2. Observe the initial page load OR perform a standard page refresh (F5).
      3. Alternative for Automation: Boot up a node with the OVE ISO and Execute the Golang-based UI automation script to navigate to the cluster details page.   
      https://github.com/openshift-metal3/dev-scripts/blob/master/agent/isobuilder/ui_driven_cluster_installation/main.go 
       
      https://github.com/openshift-metal3/dev-scripts/blob/master/agent/06_agent_create_cluster.sh#L660
      
      4. Alternatively, kick of a CI job e2e-agent-compact-ipv4-iso-no-registry against 4.21 or master branch of https://github.com/openshift-assisted/assisted-installer-ui and monitor the results in a live CI environment

      Actual results:

          The UI displays a blank screen with a spinning loader and "Technology Preview" message for a brief period.The usual cluster configuration forms are delayed or fail to render entirely, causing automation scripts to timeout or fail due to missing elements.

      Expected results:

        The UI should load the cluster details form immediately without a transient blank "Technology Preview" state.Consistency with 4.20.z behavior, where the form elements are available upon the completion of the initial loading sequence without an intermediate empty state.  

      Additional info:

      Frequency: Occurs "very often" on refresh and frequently on initial launch.
      
      Automation Impact: The Golang-based UI automation is consistently affected, as it expects the form elements to be present in the DOM for interaction.
      
      Comparison: Version 4.20.z is stable and does not exhibit this flickering/blank state.
