@BlameGPT can you take a look at this?

Needs a vibe check ASAP

• fix: <workspacename> workspace deeplink redirects to mWeb #68041: Alters the Pay with Expensify > Business bank account flow by rebuilding MOVED action deeplinks with environmentURL and changing navigation to the workspace chat, which matches the verification flow and could trigger an auth-redirect leading to the session-expired screen.
• Back-navigation animation appears when loading a new chat from scratch without Onyx data #68527: Changed chat routing by replacing navigate with setParams in handleReportChanged, which can affect the redirect to the workspace chat after completing verification.

If not above, check these

• Support one transaction thread report creation if it wasn't created optimistically #68290: Refactors ReportScreen and IOU actions to create/open transaction threads and adjust navigation routes, which can impact the post-payment/verification transition to the correct chat.
