No animation for Search report when opened as not the first screen in RHP v2

[WojtekBoman]

cc: @mountiny @ZhenjaHorbach

Explanation of Change

This PR fixes the animation issues with SearchReport page. Previously this structure was more complex, this page was wrapped by the modal stack that was animated but the page doesn't have animations itself. Now this page is displayed directly in RightModalNavigator. We want to animate it when showing and closing but not when switching using arrow buttons. To do that we need to perform SET_PARAMS action instead of REPLACE to not trigger animation.

Now it's consistent with expense reports as on these pages SET_PARAMS action is triggered when pressing the arrow buttons.

In this PR, the deploy blocker which appeared after merging v1 has been fixed. #78437

To avoid this animation glitch SearchReport won't be animated when opening from a narrow RHP on a wide layout.

  • I added steps to cover failure scenarios (i.e. verify an input displays the correct error message if the entered data is not correct)
  • I turned off my network connection and tested it while offline to ensure it matches the expected behavior (i.e. verify the default avatar icon is displayed if app is offline)

• I included screenshots or videos for tests on all platforms
• I ran the tests on all platforms & verified they passed on:
  • Android: Native
  • Android: mWeb Chrome
  • iOS: Native
  • iOS: mWeb Safari
  • MacOS: Chrome / Safari
• I verified there are no console errors (if there's a console error not related to the PR, report it or open an issue for it to be fixed)
• I verified there are no new alerts related to the canBeMissing param for useOnyx
• I followed proper code patterns (see Reviewing the code)

  • I verified any copy / text shown in the product is localized by adding it to src/languages/* files and using the translation method
    • If any non-english text was added/modified, I used JaimeGPT to get English > Spanish translation. I then posted it in #expensify-open-source and it was approved by an internal Expensify engineer. Link to Slack message:
  • I verified all numbers, amounts, dates and phone numbers shown in the product are using the localization methods
  • I verified any copy / text that was added to the app is grammatically correct in English. It adheres to proper capitalization guidelines (note: only the first word of header/labels should be capitalized), and is either coming verbatim from figma or has been approved by marketing (in order to get marketing approval, ask the Bug Zero team member to add the Waiting for copy label to the issue)
  • I verified proper file naming conventions were followed for any new files or renamed files. All non-platform specific files are named after what they export and are not named "index.js". All platform-specific files are named for the platform the code supports as outlined in the README.

• If a new code pattern is added I verified it was agreed to be used by multiple Expensify engineers
• I followed the guidelines as stated in the Review Guidelines

• I verified all code is DRY (the PR doesn't include any logic written more than once, with the exception of tests)
• I verified any variables that can be defined as constants (ie. in CONST.ts or at the top of the file that uses the constant) are defined as such
• I verified that if a function's arguments changed that all usages have also been updated correctly
• If any new file was added I verified that:
  • The file has a description of what it does and/or why is needed at the top of the file if the code is not self explanatory
• If a new CSS style is added I verified that:
  • A similar style doesn't already exist
  • The style can't be created with an existing StyleUtils function (i.e. StyleUtils.getBackgroundAndBorderStyle(theme.componentBG))
• If new assets were added or existing ones were modified, I verified that:
  • The assets are optimized and compressed (for SVG files, run npm run compress-svg)
  • The assets load correctly across all supported platforms.
• If the PR modifies code that runs when editing or sending messages, I tested and verified there is no unexpected behavior for all supported markdown - URLs, single line code, code blocks, quotes, headings, bold, strikethrough, and italic.
• If the PR modifies a generic component, I tested and verified that those changes do not break usages of that component in the rest of the App (i.e. if a shared library or component like Avatar is modified, I verified that Avatar is working as expected in all cases)
• If the PR modifies a component related to any of the existing Storybook stories, I tested and verified all stories for that component are still working as expected.
• If the PR modifies a component or page that can be accessed by a direct deeplink, I verified that the code functions as expected when the deeplink is used - from a logged in and logged out account.
• If the PR modifies the UI (e.g. new buttons, new UI components, changing the padding/spacing/sizing, moving components, etc) or modifies the form input styles:
  • I verified that all the inputs inside a form are aligned with each other.
  • I added Design label and/or tagged @Expensify/design so the design team can review the changes.
• If a new page is added, I verified it's using the ScrollView component to make it scrollable when more elements are added to the page.
• I added unit tests for any new feature or bug fix in this PR to help automatically prevent regressions in this user flow.
• If the main branch was merged into this PR after a review, I tested again and verified the outcome was still expected according to the Test steps.

❌ PERF-6 (docs)

The useEffect on line 176 is updating expandedRHPProgress based on the lengths of superWideRHPRouteKeys and wideRHPRouteKeys arrays. However, since expandedRHPProgress is an Animated.Value (not React state), and the guard condition checks ref values, this pattern is acceptable for animation synchronization.

Actually, upon closer inspection, the guard added in lines 179-181 prevents updates during closing transitions by checking isWideRHPClosingRef.current || isSuperWideRHPClosingRef.current. This introduces timing dependencies where the effect behavior depends on ref state set by other hooks.

Consider deriving the target progress value directly when needed, or consolidating the closing state management into a single location to avoid scattered state dependencies.

[WojtekBoman]

I need to save info if the rhp is closing to the variable. The best place to do that is in the hook showing wide rhps.

I introduced this change as there is a moment when the wide rhp is removed from the state (useBeforeRemove is called then), but it's still closing. If we update expandedRHPProgress during this update, it will cause animation issues. That's why I use early return here and it should break [PERF-6] rule

Okay
It's a pity that we disabled animation in this flow on web
But it looks good in any case!

We'll try to figure it out, but for now we should go ahead with the Super Wide RHP :D We'll handle it as a followup

[mountiny]

Thanks for addressing the AI reviewer comments, the changes look fine now and looking forwards completing the SuperWide logic and hopefully looking for some ways to simplify the logic then

[mountiny]

Going to move this ahead, thanks for the simplification
