Closes #19729

Problem

On an Android tablet or split layout, with Settings open in the detail pane, tapping a thread in the list did nothing. A dev build showed The action 'RESET' ... was not handled by any navigator.

Fix

The thread tap resets the stack to Home + the tapped thread. It sent that reset through the container's dispatch, which goes to whatever navigator has focus. With Settings open, that's the Settings stack. It has no Home or Thread routes, so the reset got dropped.

useAndroidWorkspaceSelection now builds the reset from the root state and targets the root stack's key. The tapped thread replaces Settings, and Back goes to the thread list.

Evidence

Tested on a POCO M3 Pro (Android 13), smallest width set to 760dp to get split view, JS dev client, fake showcase data.

Before (main)	After
Full video	Full video

Before: with Follow-ups open, tapping "Make Suspense transitions buttery" does nothing and the RESET warning appears.
After: the same tap opens the thread, and Back returns to the thread list.

Verified: tsc --noEmit for apps/mobile, lint on the changed file, android-workspace-navigation.test.ts.

Approvability

Verdict: Approved at 3170d3a

Macroscope's review found this PR approvable — This is a focused Android navigation bug fix that redirects an existing reset action to the root stack when Settings has focus, with a regression test covering that scenario. The change is isolated and does not introduce new capabilities, schema changes, deployment changes, or static-analysis overrides.

📝 Walkthrough

The Android workspace selection hook now uses the navigation container root. If the root ref or state is unavailable, the callback returns without side effects. Otherwise, it dismisses the keyboard and dispatches a reset targeted at the root state key. A test covers selection while Settings is focused.

Changes: Android workspace selection

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Root-targeted workspace reset apps/mobile/src/features/workspace/useAndroidWorkspaceSelection.ts, apps/mobile/src/features/workspace/useAndroidWorkspaceSelection.test.tsx	The hook reads the root navigation ref and dispatches the reset to the root state key. The test verifies that selecting a thread while a nested Settings route is focused leaves Home and the selected Thread route in the root state.

Before / after behavior

• observed — Modified behavior in apps/mobile/src/features/workspace/useAndroidWorkspaceSelection.ts: The hook replaces useNavigation with NavigationContainerRefContext and React’s use.
• observed — Modified behavior in apps/mobile/src/features/workspace/useAndroidWorkspaceSelection.ts: The hook reads the navigation container ref from context instead of obtaining the focused navigator.
• observed — Modified behavior in apps/mobile/src/features/workspace/useAndroidWorkspaceSelection.ts: The callback now returns before side effects if the root ref or root state is missing. Otherwise, it dispatches the reset to the root, targeted at the root state key; previously it reset through the focused navigator using its state.
• observed — Modified behavior in apps/mobile/src/features/workspace/useAndroidWorkspaceSelection.ts: The callback dependencies replace the focused navigator with the root ref.

apps/mobile/src/features/workspace/useAndroidWorkspaceSelection.ts: 1

21-31: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Test useAndroidWorkspaceSelection itself.

android-workspace-navigation.test.ts calls androidWorkspaceNavigationState directly through its local StackRouter. It does not invoke useAndroidWorkspaceSelection, so it does not verify root.getRootState(), root.dispatch(...), or target: state.key.

A regression that dispatches through the focused Settings navigator can therefore pass these tests because the helper still returns the expected ["Home", "Thread"] state. Add a focused callback test with Settings active that asserts the reset targets the root navigator and that the tab dispatch occurs.

@coderabbitai Added useAndroidWorkspaceSelection.test.tsx in 3170d3a. It renders a real root stack with a nested Settings stack focused (via React Navigation core in jsdom), calls the hook from the root layout like the sidebar does, and checks the root ends at Home + the tapped thread. It fails on main's hook with Settings still on top, so it guards this exact bug without mocking the dispatch.

@shivamhwp Thanks for adding the regression test. I inspected useAndroidWorkspaceSelection.test.tsx. It uses the real React Navigation core, focuses the nested Settings stack, and calls the hook from the root layout without mocking dispatch.

The assertions verify that Settings is replaced by Home + Thread with the tapped thread’s parameters. This covers the reported failure path. I did not run the test or verify its failure against main.

Closing: #21071 (merged Oct 18) already fixes this on main. resetAndroidWorkspace now resets from the root state, and main has a test for this case ("resets the root stack when a nested Settings stack has focus").
