[Due for payment 2026-10-22] Onboarding - Join workspace intent stuck on workspace list when last name is empty #104038
Description
Summary
This is a deploy blocker introduced by #103652, which is on the current staging checklist.
In the new Join my company workspace onboarding flow, users who enter only a first name cannot finish onboarding. Last name is optional on the personal details step, but after a successful join the app treats it as required. The user is sent back toward personal details and stays on the workspace list, even though the join succeeded.
Steps to reproduce
- Create a workspace using a private-domain account.
- Sign up with another account on the same domain.
- Enter a first name and leave the optional last name blank.
- Select Join my company workspace.
- Click Join now or Ask to join once.
Expected result
Onboarding completes after joining the workspace.
Actual result
The user stays on the workspace list and onboarding does not complete, even though the join succeeded.
Fix
#104016 requires only the first name before completing onboarding and adds a regression test for an empty last name.
