This might be a BE issue - I can reproduce on both staging and production. Removing the blocker since it's reproducible for both environments.

I can't even open the public room the first time

[Beamanator]

Hmm I can def open the public room the first time, sometimes even the 2nd time, but it's very slow to open...

• There seems to be a LOT of OpenApp stuff returned that I wouldn't really expect:
  • currencyList - not sure if that's necessary for anonymous public rooms
  • report_2628257014907189, even though I'm opening the public room 6685953273940764
    • chatType is domainAll, so maybe
  • report_4212696368636102 - maybe this is the concierge chat? Why do we have this? haha
  • report_6685953273940764 - ok ya this is the public room i'm opening
  • user has validated: true & isSubscribedToNewsletter which I feel should both be false, right?
  • personalDetailsList of pretty much everyone on a domain (expensifail)

Hmm I did see this once, where I wasn't able to load the report 🤔

[Beamanator]

Looks like potentially a Google OAuth thing, I think if it doesn't load properly we somehow skip loading OpenReport and go straight back to the main login page. I'm going to open this up externally b/c it LOOKS like it's not a backend problem actually

Also adding Needs Reproduction b/c I can't consistently reproduce - if I could, I would have inspected the failed network requests from my comment above 😅
