👋 Friendly reminder that deploy blockers are time-sensitive ⏱ issues! Check out the open Staging deploy checklist to see the list of PRs included in this release, then work quickly on the following:

1. If you find which PR caused the issue/bug, you can reassign it to the person responsible for it.
   • If the author is OOO or won’t get online before the daily deploy is due, you are responsible for finding the best fix/path forward. Don’t hesitate to ask for help!
2. Try to reproduce the issue, if the bug is on production, remove the DeployBlocker label but stay assigned to fix it (or find out which PR broke it to get help from the author).
   • You can adjust the urgency of the issue to better represent the gravity of the bug.
   • If the issue is super low priority, feel free to un-assign yourself.
   • Be careful with PHP warnings, sometimes it is more complex than just adding a null coalescing operator as they might be uncovering some bigger bug.
   • If it was a one-off issue that requires no action (for example, Bedrock was down or it is a duplicated issue), you can close it.

Remember rule #2: Never un-assign yourself from a real DeployBlocker unless you are 100% sure someone else is assigned and will take care of it.

@puneetlath I haven't added the External label as I wasn't 100% sure about this issue. Please take a look and add the label if you agree it's a bug and can be handled by external contributors.

We think this issue might be related to the #vip-vsb.

Proposal

Please re-state the problem that we are trying to solve in this issue.

We don't handle navigate to concierge room when user leave report.

What is the root cause of that problem?

After leave room we only navigate to the most recent report

App/src/libs/actions/Report.ts

Lines 2659 to 2660 in dadc3b8

	API.write(WRITE_COMMANDS.LEAVE_ROOM, parameters, {optimisticData, successData, failureData});
	navigateToMostRecentReport(report);

What changes do you think we should make in order to solve the problem?

We will check the report is public room and previous route is sign-in and after leave public room we will navigate to concierge page instead of only navigate to the most recent report at this line

    API.write(WRITE_COMMANDS.LEAVE_ROOM, parameters, {optimisticData, successData, failureData});
    const isPublicRoom = ReportUtils.isPublicRoom(report);
    const previousRoute = Navigation.getPreviousRoute();
    if (isPublicRoom && previousRoute === ROUTES.SIGN_IN_MODAL) {
        navigateToConciergeChat();
    } else {
        navigateToMostRecentReport(report);
    }

What alternative solutions did you explore? (Optional)

[puneetlath]

I don't think we need to block the deploy over this. It's a very specific scenario.

@puneetlath I think this expected, the user is redirect to last opened report not to random report and this was the expected result when we were working on #41128

#41128 expected result:

1. if users leave a room or group, we will redirect them to the last opened report (sort onyx reports by last read and find the last one)
2. if a new user open the room from deep link, so he didn't open any report yet, we will redirect them to concierge
