fix(mobile): folded Back clears the detail route before the next selection#22526
After Back from a detail screen on a folded iPhone Duo, UIKit shows the list but the JS router still holds the detail. Selecting another row then updates a hidden screen and leaves the list unchanged.
Follow the collapsed split's native appearance events to clear the detail history after Back. Track the visible column from those events instead of the last show() command. Cancelled swipes preserve the detail, and any sheet opened during the transition stays in the route history.
Verified on the iPhone Duo simulator: Back to the list, opening another thread or PR, cancelling an edge swipe, and folding/unfolding an open thread. Switching from a PR to Threads returns to the thread list. 32 focused navigation and toolbar tests pass; mobile typecheck passes. Compact iPad windows use the same path but have not had a separate device pass. This does not change retained-tab architecture.
Before: after Back, the second row tap leaves the list unchanged.
After: a cancelled swipe keeps the PR open; Back returns to the list and another PR opens.

Approvability
Verdict: Approved at f9a3b5c
Macroscope's review found this PR approvable โ This is a localized iOS navigation bug fix that synchronizes collapsed split appearance callbacks with the existing route stack and adds focused transition tests. It does not alter schemas, product defaults, deployment configuration, or static-analysis settings.

๐ Walkthrough
The iOS workspace navigator now tracks appearance changes while a split layout is collapsed. When a detail route leaves and the primary route reappears, the transition logic can request a native pop. Tests cover completed and cancelled Back gestures and other navigation cases.
Changes: Collapsed split navigation
Layer / File(s) Summary Collapsed transition state and outcomes
apps/mobile/src/native/workspace-stack-projection.ts,apps/mobile/src/native/workspace-stack-projection.test.tsAdds state for the visible column and a leaving detail route.

Merge Risk: ๐ก Moderate ยท up to f9a3b
In a folded iPhone Duo or compact iPad split, the list can appear while the router still holds the detail route, so later row taps may update a hidden screen. This is the failure the change aims to fix, and it can still occur in cold-link-like cases. Reconcile the visible column before merging.

Explanation
The description clearly explains the problem, implementation, verification steps, observed results, untested compact iPad scope, and agent attribution. It links before-and-after recordings. The Scope and approval section is not explicit, and separate screenshots are not provided, but the description is otherwise complete and focused.

Reconcile the visible column after a no-op didAppear.
When the primary screen receives didAppear without a pop, collapsedSplitTransition records "primary" while compactColumn remains "secondary" for the linked detail route. The existing effect does not rerun, so UIKit can leave the detail hidden while the router still owns it.
Suggested reconciliation
| 1 | collapsedColumn.current = transition.column; |
| 2 | - if (transition.pop) props.navigation.dispatch(transition.pop); |
| 3 | + if (transition.pop) { |
| 4 | + props.navigation.dispatch(transition.pop); |
| 5 | + } else if (type === "didAppear" && transition.column.visible !== compactColumn) { |
| 6 | + collapsedColumn.current = { ...transition.column, visible: compactColumn }; |
| 7 | + hostRef.current?.show(compactColumn); |
| 8 | + } |
