### What happened?

When you have the Saved tab open and press the system back button to return to the For you tab, the expected behavior is that the screen previously opened in the For you tab will be displayed. However, instead, the home screen is displayed. Clicking the For you tab again will restore the state.

Expected behavior: When pressing the system back button to return to the For you tab, the screen previously opened in the tab will be restored.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the reported flow: open a screen in the For you tab, switch to Saved, then press the system back button. Trace the multi-back-stack navigation entry points involved in switching tabs and handling system back. Done means returning to For you restores its previously opened screen instead of the home screen, while selecting For you again remains consistent.
