Not a blocker because it still works fine as it does on prod. I commented on the issue explaining that a new fix needs to be tried.

@thelullabyy @suneox seems like the changes did not work completely #60267 can you take a look?

[neil-marcellini]

I'm also just going to close this because the original issue will handle making it work correctly.

@thelullabyy @suneox seems like the changes did not work completely #60267 can you take a look?

It looks like this is caused by another issue where the prefix You: was removed. @thelullabyy, could you please help find the offending PR in the original issue?
