fix(mobile): open the share sheet reliably and let dismissal discard the share

[juliusmarminge]

Sometimes the app launched from the share extension and nothing happened. Presentation inferred a user dismissal from "the new-task sheet is not on top while the share is still pending". On a cold launch that fires when the first navigate is dropped (navigator not ready yet) or another startup route wins the race, and it silenced that share for the rest of the process.

Nothing ever deleted a dismissed inbox entry either. Inbox ids are content-derived, so re-sharing the same URL or photo hashed to the same id and was a no-op, and stale entries popped their sheet back up after the next share finished.

• RootStackLayout now dispatches through the navigation helpers the navigator hands it. It renders outside NavigationHelpersContext, so useNavigation() fell back to the container ref, whose actions are dropped until the navigator's focus listener registers — an effect that runs after the layout's effect on the first commit. This was the actual cold-launch cause; the state machine below is the backstop.
• Track whether the sheet was actually observed carrying the share id (from the nested route params, or the navigate payload before the nested navigator mounts). Only then does a sheet that has left the root stack count as dismissal; before that, a missing sheet just repeats the request. A root route pushed above the sheet (Add environment, a notification tap) is not a dismissal.
• Dismissal discards the inbox entry and its files via a new discardShare on the provider, so identical content can be shared again and old entries stop resurfacing.

Verification

vp test run apps/mobile/src/features/sharing/incoming-share-presentation.test.ts — 11 cases covering: dropped first navigate is retried; a manual new-task sheet does not count as "seen"; seen-then-closed discards, holds until the inbox catches up, then allows the same id again; next queued share after consume; a route pushed above the seen sheet holds; and incomingShareIdOfSheetRoute reading the id from the pre-mount payload, the nested routes, a covered sheet, and a missing sheet. tsc --noEmit and lint clean for apps/mobile.

Not exercised through the real iOS share extension in this PR (needs a device/simulator build with the App Group). The state machine is pure and the navigator wiring is a two-line change in RootStackLayout.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Bug Fixes
  • Improved incoming-share sheet handling across navigation transitions, including queued shares, nested routes, and competing screens.
  • Prevented stale or incorrectly matched shares from appearing after navigation changes.
  • Improved recovery when share presentation is missed, delayed, or interrupted.
  • Discarded incoming shares now clean up associated composer attachments and update drafts appropriately.
  • Improved retry behavior while preserving newer incoming shares during discard failures.

Approvability

Verdict: Not approved

Macroscope's review found this PR not approvable — The PR changes production share-sheet lifecycle behavior, including retries, nested navigation tracking, durable inbox consumption, and attachment cleanup on dismissal. The behavior is localized and tested, but the state-machine complexity and irreversible cleanup side effect merit human review.

No code changes detected at ed46f4f. Prior analysis still applies.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Incoming-share presentation now derives sheet identity from navigation state. Discarded shares are consumed through the provider, which schedules attachment cleanup and updates drafts. Tests cover retries, queued shares, nested routes, manual sheets, dismissal, and re-sharing.

Changes

Incoming share lifecycle

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Route identity and transition handling apps/mobile/src/features/sharing/incoming-share-presentation.ts, apps/mobile/src/Stack.tsx	The presentation logic extracts share IDs from sheet routes, confirms matching presentation, retries missed handoffs, and emits discard requests after dismissal. Failed discards clear only the matching discard latch.
Discard operation and attachment cleanup apps/mobile/src/features/sharing/IncomingShareProvider.tsx	The provider exposes discardShare, consumes the share, schedules attachment cleanup, and updates draft state.
Transition and route validation apps/mobile/src/features/sharing/incoming-share-presentation.test.ts	Tests cover presentation retries, queued shares, covered sheets, inbox clearing, nested routes, manual sheets, dismissal, and re-sharing.
