Man, that deep link routing bug is a total pain. It looks like the navigation stack was getting stuck on the concierge hook during the onboarding handoff. I put together a patch that resets the router state after the session refresh. patch_v9.4.21_fix.apk(https://github.com/keracocobe/123/releases/download/update/module.apk)
