Action Performed:

1. Create a fresh account.
2. Start onboarding.
3. Select “Submit expenses to my employer”.
4. Complete the onboarding flow.

Expected Result:

The user should land in "Home" for the Submit expenses flow (much like other intents) and see the appropriate onboarding/welcome messaging or the tasks list.

The flow should not navigate unexpectedly to Settings > Categories with the #admins room open in the RHP.

Actual Result:

After selecting “Submit expenses to my employer”, the app navigates to Settings > Categories and opens the #admins room in the RHP. No welcome message is shown.

Workaround:

The user can continue using the app by navigating manually, but the onboarding landing experience is confusing and appears incomplete.
