Proposal

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

The first time around, the app crashes, after reloading from crash, it displays the correct page not found

What is the root cause of that problem?

We have Onyx error when changing key from undefined to ''

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

We should fallback as '-1' here

  reportID: reportOnyx.reportID ?? '-1',

What alternative solutions did you explore? (Optional)

[adelekennedy]

I don't think this is a deploy blocker - keeping it hourly in case @nkuoch you disagree, preemptively adding external label in case
