Research direction

Start by tracing the Android app’s onboarding and navigation state across a force close and relaunch; the issue does not name relevant files or tests. Reproduce the steps on Android, then find where the onboarding state is restored and how the device back button is handled. Done when reopening the app no longer lets the user return to the home page from onboarding.
