[Web/mWeb] URL / Address bar is not updated after login or landing on root

---

Expected Result:

When a conversation is loaded it’s ID should be a part of the URL (route) in the address bar e.g. expensify.com/r/71403817

Actual Result:

• After login in the route stays /r even though a conversation is loaded
• After navigation to the home page / or /r the last conversation is loaded but the route does not update

Action Performed:

Login Flow

1. Have an account with some conversations
2. Logout
3. Reset the address to the root of the app /
   • this might be another issue as after logout the route is not updated as well and keeps displaying the last report path
4. Login again
5. Observe your last conversation is selected but the route is just /r and does not contain the ID

Authenticated Landing / Refresh flow

1. Have an account with some conversations
2. You should be logged in
3. Close the tab/window
4. Open expensify from the root domain e.g. localhost:8080 for local development
5. Observe your last conversation is selected but the route is just /r and does not contain the ID

Workaround:

Tap on any conversation from the sidebar should load and populate the address bar correctly

Proposal looks good to me if you want to send a PR 👍

@Christinadobrzyn can you create an E/E issues + Upwork job please and hire @kidroca?

We don’t need to add the Exported label in this case since it is already triaged.
