[Due for payment 2026-10-27] [$1000] Enable the Go Back button by default (flip shouldUseGoBackButton) #96098
Description
Problem
Once the site refactors are complete, flip shouldUseGoBackButton on FullScreenLoadingIndicator to default-true so every fullscreen loader shows a "Go Back" button after a timeout. This is the step that actually delivers the recoverable error page — it fixes all remaining trapped-user loaders in one change instead of ~66 one-line PRs.
Solution
Blocked on #96093, #96094, #96095, #96096 (the bullet-1 refactors must land first, otherwise the flip draws a stray "Go Back" button on top of headers that already have one).
- Set the
shouldUseGoBackButtondefault totrueinsrc/components/FullscreenLoadingIndicator.tsx. - Remove the now-redundant explicit
shouldUseGoBackButtonprops from the sites that already pass it. - Retain an explicit
shouldUseGoBackButton={false}on the six auth/transition screens where Go Back is dead or harmful on a cold deep-link start (no history to pop):ValidateLoginPage/index.tsxValidateLoginPage/index.web.tsxUnlinkLoginPageLogInWithShortLivedAuthTokenPageDelegatorConnectGateLogOutPreviousUserPage— actively harmful, not just dead: Go Back can pop/transitionback into the outgoing user's session mid-Onyx.clear()/sign-out.
