Deploy Blocker Investigation
Causing PR: Add liquid glass bottom tab bar to iOS, Android and mWeb (high confidence). It is the only PR in Deploy Checklist: New Expensify 2026-10-16 that touches the tab bar, the tab-root screen wrapper, or the workspace navigators.
Recommendation: fix forward, don't revert. The PR touches 90+ files, including native patches and a dependency bump. [CP Staging] Fix liquid glass bottom tab bar issues is already on staging and depends on it. The bug is cosmetic and mobile-web only.
Root cause (medium confidence on mechanism): On narrow web, two tab bars are drawn on top of each other: the navigator's bar and a copy inside each tab-root screen. Before this PR, the navigator's bar was full width with a solid background, so it hid the copy. The PR made it a floating capsule with see-through margins. Both the workspace list and the workspace page count as tab-root screens, so the navigator's bar stays visible while the workspace page slides in from the right. The screens' moving bar copies show through the capsule's margins.
Fix options:
SLIDE_FROM_RIGHTfor the workspace/domain split navigators only on native. Web has no swipe-back anyway. Mobile web would lose the slide.TabNavigatorBarwhile this transition runs, as it already does when navigating to deeper screens.Investigation details

[CP Staging] Fix liquid glass bottom tab bar issues #104238 only changes native patches.Not verified: I couldn't view the issue video. If the extra bar stays visible after the slide finishes, the cause is more than the transition and needs another look. If it only appears during the slide, demoting the blocker is also reasonable.
