Biblatex: First occurrence of name spelled in full (first and last name)

Question

This is a follow-up question of this post: Automatically cite author's name in full the first time it appears

Like in that post, I wish to have the first name appear at the first occurrence of a name. However, there is a problem with the solution provided: it adds an unwanted space after the name when using \citeauthor when not immediately followed by a punctuation sign. Does anybody have a fix?

Using moewe's solution, this is the problem I get:

$Problem with spaces after \citeauthor$ There is an unwanted space after the name when it is not immediately followed by a punctuation sign (full stop, comma, etc.). This is the code for my example taken from moewe's answer:

Someone forgot a % after \cbx@nametracker{\thefield{hash}}} in the definition of the name format for labelname.

The undesired space will disappear once we add the missing %.

works

Thanks for noticing that. Answer to Automatically cite author's name in full the first time it appears fixed.

It works like a charm. Thank you! – Tecti Jul 09 '21 at 08:15 — Tecti, Jul 09 '21 at 08:15
