The challenging part would be to ensure that JavaScript is fully suspended
while the authentication sheet is displayed. Currently, we achieve that by
running the loader with a custom run loop mode.

An auth sheet will allow user gestures, so the user could e.g. resize the
window in the middle of JS execution, and of course there are all kinds of
timers and other networking requests to suspend.
