Add Spend navigation suggestions to Search Router

[nabi-ebrahimi]

Explanation of Change

Adds Spend destinations to Search Router by consuming the existing useSearchTypeMenuSections() output.

Spend suggestions reuse the current labels, visibility rules, queries, and icons. Saved searches are excluded. Each row displays its Spend context, and selecting it clears transaction selection and stale search context before opening the canned search, matching the existing Spend menu behavior.

PROPOSAL:

Tests

1. Search and open a Spend destination

   1. Open Search Router with Command/Ctrl + K.
   2. Type expenses.
   3. Select Go to Expenses.
   4. Verify the row displays the Expenses icon and Spend context.
   5. Expected: Search Router closes and the canned Expenses search opens.

2. Verify navigation-intent matching

   1. Search separately for reports, go reports, and go to reports.
   2. Expected: Each query displays the same Spend Go to Reports destination.

3. Verify Spend source parity

   1. Note the Spend destinations available in the existing Spend menu.
   2. Search individually for several of those destinations in Search Router.
   3. Expected: Search Router uses the same labels, icons, visibility rules, and destination queries.

4. Verify saved-search exclusion and context matching

   1. Create a saved search with a unique name.
   2. Search for that name in Search Router.
   3. Search for spend.
   4. Expected: No Spend navigation row is created for the saved search, and searching spend does not display every Spend subpage merely because its context says Spend.

5. Verify stale Spend state is cleared

   1. Open Spend, enter a raw search term, and select transactions if available.
   2. Open Search Router and select another Spend destination.
   3. Expected: The selected transactions and stale raw-search context are cleared before the canned destination opens.

6. Verify ordering, limit, and interaction

   1. Open Search Router and type go.
   2. Verify top-level rows appear before alphabetized Spend rows and no more than eight navigation rows are shown.
   3. Select a Spend row using arrow keys and Enter.
   4. Repeat using a mouse or tap.
   5. Expected: Ordering and limit are correct, and each interaction closes Search Router and navigates exactly once.

7. Verify existing Search Router behavior

   1. Display normal Search, Ask Concierge, autocomplete/chat, recent-search, and contextual-search rows.
   2. Select applicable existing rows.
   3. Expected: Existing precedence, row layout, keyboard navigation, and selection behavior remain unchanged.

8. Verify existing Spend menu behavior

   1. Navigate through several destinations directly from the regular Spend menu.
   2. Open an existing saved search.
   3. Expected: Existing Spend navigation, saved searches, icons, visibility, and active-row state remain unchanged.

9. Verify responsive and offline behavior

   1. Repeat a Spend search on wide and narrow layouts.
   2. Disconnect the network and repeat using a locally available destination.
   3. Expected: Rows remain aligned, navigation does not crash, and the normal offline state is displayed.

PR Author Checklist

• I linked the correct issue in the ### Fixed Issues section above
• I wrote clear testing steps that cover the changes made in this PR
  • I added steps for local testing in the Tests section
  • I added steps for the expected offline behavior in the Offline steps section
  • I added steps for Staging and/or Production testing in the QA steps section
  • I added steps to cover failure scenarios (i.e. verify an input displays the correct error message if the entered data is not correct)
  • I turned off my network connection and tested it while offline to ensure it matches the expected behavior (i.e. verify the default avatar icon is displayed if app is offline)
  • I tested this PR with a High Traffic account against the staging or production API to ensure there are no regressions (e.g. long loading states that impact usability).
• I included screenshots or videos for tests on all platforms
• I ran the tests on all platforms & verified they passed on:
  • Android: Native
  • Android: mWeb Chrome
  • iOS: Native
  • iOS: mWeb Safari
  • MacOS: Chrome / Safari
• I verified there are no console errors (if there's a console error not related to the PR, report it or open an issue for it to be fixed)
• I followed proper code patterns (see Reviewing the code)
  • I verified that comments were added to code that is not self explanatory
  • I verified that any new or modified comments were clear, correct English, and explained "why" the code was doing something instead of only explaining "what" the code was doing.
  • I verified any copy / text that was added to the app is grammatically correct in English. It adheres to proper capitalization guidelines (note: only the first word of header/labels should be capitalized), and is either coming verbatim from figma or has been approved by marketing (in order to get marketing approval, ask the Bug Zero team member to add the Waiting for copy label to the issue)
• If a new code pattern is added I verified it was agreed to be used by multiple Expensify engineers
• I followed the guidelines as stated in the Review Guidelines
• I tested other components that can be impacted by my changes (i.e. if the PR modifies a shared library or component like Avatar, I verified the components using Avatar are working as expected)
• If a new CSS style is added I verified that:
  • A similar style doesn't already exist
  • The style can't be created with an existing StyleUtils function (i.e. StyleUtils.getBackgroundAndBorderStyle(theme.componentBG))
• If new assets were added or existing ones were modified, I verified that:
  • The assets are optimized and compressed (for SVG files, run npm run compress-svg)
  • The assets load correctly across all supported platforms.
• If the PR modifies code that runs when editing or sending messages, I tested and verified there is no unexpected behavior for all supported markdown - URLs, single line code, code blocks, quotes, headings, bold, strikethrough, and italic.
• If the PR modifies a generic component, I tested and verified that those changes do not break usages of that component in the rest of the App (i.e. if a shared library or component like Avatar is modified, I verified that Avatar is working as expected in all cases)
• If the PR modifies a component related to any of the existing Storybook stories, I tested and verified all stories for that component are still working as expected.
• If the PR modifies a component or page that can be accessed by a direct deeplink, I verified that the code functions as expected when the deeplink is used - from a logged in and logged out account.
• If the PR modifies the UI (e.g. new buttons, new UI components, changing the padding/spacing/sizing, moving components, etc) or modifies the form input styles:
  • I verified that all the inputs inside a form are aligned with each other.
  • I added Design label and/or tagged @Expensify/design so the design team can review the changes.
• I added unit tests for any new feature or bug fix in this PR to help automatically prevent regressions in this user flow.
• If the main branch was merged into this PR after a review, I tested again and verified the outcome was still expected according to the Test steps.

Hey, I noticed you changed src/languages/en.ts in a PR from a fork. For security reasons, translations are not generated automatically for PRs from forks.

If you want to automatically generate translations for other locales, an Expensify employee will have to:

1. Look at the code and make sure there are no malicious changes.
2. Run the Generate static translations GitHub workflow. If you have write access and the K2 extension, you can simply click: [this button]

Alternatively, if you are an external contributor, you can run the translation script locally with your own OpenAI API key. To learn more, try running:

npx ts-node ./scripts/generateTranslations.ts --help

Typically, you'd want to translate only what you changed by running npx ts-node ./scripts/generateTranslations.ts --compare-ref main
