On iPhone the Settings list is drawn by Home under the pushed Settings route of the workspace stack. Inside Home's WorkspaceToolbar, useIsFocused() is false and there is no presented primary column, so searchHostVisible was false and restoreSearch never put tabs.settings.query back into the native search bar after switching tabs. The list stayed filtered while the bar collapsed to an empty Search button. The fix adds useNavigationState(state => state.routes[state.index]?.name === "Settings") as a third condition of searchHostVisible, so the existing restore path (setText, setActive, focus) runs when the Settings list is on screen. Once a Settings page is pushed over the list, the top route is no longer Settings and the restore stays off. iPad and Duo already worked through primaryColumn.presented, and Android and the other tabs are unchanged. Verified on a pooled iPhone 18 Pro (iOS 27.2) with the cached dev client, using paced steps and Metro restarted with --clear for each side: on main, Settings → Search → 'version' → return key → Chats → Settings showed a collapsed 'Search' button with the list still filtered to About. With the fix the field reads 'version' with Clear and close over two rounds, and Clear brings back the full list. No regex or parser was added. No new test: the restore depends on native header and navigation-focus behaviour that the existing unit tests do not cover, as the issue also notes.

Fixes #28247

Reproduction on main

Commit a18a458 (origin/main). Pooled iPhone 18 Pro simulator, iOS 27.2, T3 Code dev client from the shared cache (fingerprint 97f38eca), Metro on this VM, no environment paired (Settings search needs none). Steps: tap Settings tab; tap Search; type "version": list shows only About and the field reads "version" with Clear and close. Close the keyboard with the keyboard's search/return key: field still shows "version", list is only About. Tap Chats; tap Settings. Accessibility tree and screenshot: header shows [button] "Search" (collapsed) and no query, but the list still shows only About. Tap Search: the field opens empty (placeholder "Search settings") while the list stays filtered to About.

Evidence

Pooled iPhone 18 Pro, iOS 27.2, 402×874, light theme, no environment paired. Same driver on both commits: Settings → Search → type version → keyboard Return → Chats → Settings.

Base reproduces the hidden-query filter, including an empty field when Search reopens. Head retains version and Clear after returning. Captures inspected; paired stills were pixel-identical.

Tests

vp run check:changed: pass (format, lint, knip, typecheck of 2 packages, React compiler, 1 test file with 6 tests passed). Manual check on a pooled iPhone 18 Pro (iOS 27.2) with Metro restarted with --clear for each side and the served bundle grepped to confirm which code it held: on main the bug reproduced (collapsed Search button, list filtered to About); with the fix the field showed 'version' with Clear and close over two Chats → Settings rounds, and Clear brought back the full list.

Not in this change

• WorkspaceToolbar's restoreSearch is a new function on every render, so the useEffect keyed on it schedules a restore frame on every render. That was already so on main and I left it unchanged.

Approvability

Verdict: Approved at a4427f9

Macroscope's review found this PR approvable — The toolbar now restores the Settings search query when Settings holds navigation focus after switching tabs. Existing search-state and visibility guards remain in place, keeping the impact limited to UI restoration.

Walkthrough

WorkspaceToolbar now checks the active navigation route when determining search host visibility. When Settings is on top, the search host is visible even if the toolbar screen is not focused and the primary column is not presented.

Changes: Settings Search Visibility

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Route-aware search visibility apps/mobile/src/features/layout/workspace/WorkspaceToolbar.tsx	WorkspaceToolbar reads the active route with useNavigationState. The search host is visible when Settings is on top, in addition to the existing focus and primary-column conditions.

Full details: Title check

Explanation

The title names the actual change: a fix for iPhone Settings search keeping its query after switching tabs. The raw summary shows the WorkspaceToolbar change treats the search host as visible when the Settings route is on top, which restores the query. The title is specific and follows the conventional commit form. It is 72 characters, which is within a normal title length.

Full details: Linked Issues check

Explanation

Issue #28247 requires that iPhone Settings show the retained query with a clear option, or show the full list, after switching tabs and returning. The whole-PR diff (merge base dbfbe39 to head 10e617c) changes one file, apps/mobile/src/features/layout/workspace/WorkspaceToolbar.tsx. It adds useNavigationState(state => state.routes[state.index]?.name === "Settings") as a third term of searchHostVisible. The existing restoreSearch path already calls setText(tab.query), setActive(true), and focus when searchHostVisible, searchVisible, the tab is active, and shouldRestoreNativeSearch hold. The added term lets that path run when the Settings list is on top of the stack. This matches the mechanism in the issue: Home's toolbar is not focused and has no presented primary column on iPhone. A pushed Settings page changes the top route, so the restore stays off there. The change is coherent with the linked requirement. The PR's manual device check on iOS 27.2 is reported but not reproducible from the repository. No automated test covers the native search restore, and the issue does not require one. The Duo/iPad path and the Chats path use the existing conditions.

Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

Explanation

The whole-PR diff contains one file and one logical change: an added navigation-state condition, its hook import, and a short comment in WorkspaceToolbar.tsx. Every changed line belongs to the search restore condition for issue #28247. No unrelated code, refactoring, or documentation changes appear. Two points need a note but do not make the change out of scope. First, the PR description names apps/mobile/src/features/workspace/WorkspaceToolbar.ios.tsx, but the diff changes apps/mobile/src/features/layout/workspace/WorkspaceToolbar.tsx, which has no platform suffix. The assessed file is the one in the diff. Second, the file has no platform suffix and may also run on Android. The new condition can therefore be true on Android Settings. The PR states Android is unchanged, and the issue says Android Settings already keeps the query. Those claims rest on the author's testing and were not verified in the repository.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description is thorough and covers the problem (iPhone Settings search query not restored after switching tabs), the change (adding a Settings route condition to searchHostVisible), scope (links issue #28247, iOS-only fix, no new test with reasons), and verification (repro steps on main, before/after evidence, check:changed results, manual iPhone simulator run). It does not follow the template's exact headings (Problem, Change, Scope, Verification), and the title/commit-style line is not present in the description body. It also does not state the model and harness used by the agent in the required form; it says only 'AI-assisted'. These gaps are minor, so the description is mostly complete.

Move the search-host visibility condition into a pure predicate so the Settings case can be unit tested.

searchHostVisible joins three inputs in the component body. The Settings input is read from useNavigationState, so a unit test cannot set it without rendering the native header. Move the visibility check into workspace-tabs-state.ts, next to shouldRestoreNativeSearch. Then add a case to workspace-tabs-state.test.ts where the Settings route is on top, focused is false, and the primary column is not presented. Extend an existing table or describe block if one fits. Before the change, the Settings term has no separate unit-level case. After the change, removing that term makes the new case fail.
