Proposal

Please re-state the problem that we are trying to solve in this issue.

• Background changes from settings to inbox

What is the root cause of that problem?

• In here:
  

  App/src/libs/Navigation/linkingConfig/RELATIONS/SETTINGS_TO_RHP.ts

  Line 44 in 689e60c

  [SCREENS.SETTINGS.SECURITY]: [

  
  we don't add the merge account related screens. So when refreshing the page, the proper screen to display in background is incorrect.

What changes do you think we should make in order to solve the problem?

• Should add:

        SCREENS.SETTINGS.MERGE_ACCOUNTS.ACCOUNT_DETAILS,
        SCREENS.SETTINGS.MERGE_ACCOUNTS.ACCOUNT_VALIDATE,
        SCREENS.SETTINGS.MERGE_ACCOUNTS.MERGE_RESULT,

What specific scenarios should we cover in automated tests to prevent reintroducing this issue in the future?

• NA
