### Describe the bug

After a successful signup, the WebUI closes and then reopens.
I can see in my logs that I received a successful result.
I can also see logs from `AuthClient`

```

Research direction

Start by tracing the authentication redirect in AuthClient and the creation of CustomTabsManagerActivity, using the reported logs as the initial reproduction clue. Investigate why the WebUI closes and reopens after successful signup, including the null state message. Done means a successful signup closes the WebUI without reopening and the redirect completes correctly.
