[HOLD for payment 2024-11-01] [$125] BUG: SelfDM is marked as unread even though there is no message

BUG: SelfDM is marked as unread even though there is no message

1. I signed up and wen’t through onboarding modals
2. When I get to the Concierge chat my SelfDM is unread
3. But there is no message in the self DM
   • The first image is when I choose “Manage my team”
   • The second is the SelfDM when you choose “Track my expenses”
   • In both cases, I don’t think it should be unread.

We discussed this internally and can't think of any cases where the SelfDM should be unread. So let's please update the flow so that it is marked as read when users come in as new users.

Some background from @trjExpensify: https://github.com/Expensify/App/pull/43489 - It looks like we did this in this PR.

We need to remove the selfDM from this line: https://github.com/Expensify/App/blob/f180cbb97f7158ee6339215c9d5313b50f232c8c/src/libs/ReportUtils.ts#L6127

Proposal

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

SelfDM is marked as unread even though there is no message

What is the root cause of that problem?

We forced showing unread for empty self DM:

https://github.com/Expensify/App/blob/f180cbb97f7158ee6339215c9d5313b50f232c8c/src/libs/ReportUtils.ts#L6127-L6129

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

Remove the isSelfDM check from the above.

[trjExpensify]

I'm dropping the price on this as a one-liner we've identified.
