Research direction

Start by reproducing the lifecycle behavior in the app with nav3 NavigationState and observe when the ViewModel onCleared method should run. Trace the navigation and ViewModel ownership involved; done means the method is called when the relevant destination leaves the navigation state, not only when the app closes.
