The Dependency Paradox: Shipping 'Headless' Auth Logic via Shadcn & NPM

As React shifts from "Black Box" NPM packages to "Copy-Paste" components, we face a new crisis: How do we distribute complex state and security logic without locking down the UI?This talk breaks down the architecture of a multi-distribution system. We’ll explore using TanStack Query as a headless state machine to orchestrate multi-step authentication sequences and global error-handling patterns that bridge the gap between library and implementation. Learn how to ship "logic-heavy" components that give developers total UI freedom without sacrificing architectural integrity.
