[Due for payment 2025-09-19] [$250] Optimistic report name computation causing unexpected log out?

[neil-marcellini]

Problem

The Optimistic report name computation PR / feature creates a middleware in the API's prepareRequest, which is likely introducing a race condition that affects authentication and other actions. This causes requests to not be properly stored in Onyx, resulting in users being unexpectedly logged out in various scenarios.

Please see this Slack conversation for more context.

Solution

The exact root cause of this race condition needs to be identified and resolved.
