Description
Bug description
Following up from https://github.com/gitpod-io/gitpod/pull/10309, when users trying to join a team and the invite URL has expired, the team menu on the navigation shows an extra empty element.
This is probably because of all the logical checks like https://github.com/gitpod-io/gitpod/pull/10309/files#diff-64248da95f399a1cfe99b03aa662caf313faf9b7016999111605da5d61f1971dR269.
There are possibly other pages that users could end up in this case. Maybe worth making the menu logic more explicit. 💭
| 1️⃣ (Deleted Team) | 2️⃣ (Reset Invite URL) | 3️⃣ (User Blocked) | 4️⃣ (???) |
|---|---|---|---|
![]() |

Steps to reproduce
Try joining a team after 1️⃣ deleting the team, 2️⃣ resetting the invite URL, 3️⃣ blocking the user, 4️⃣ etc.
Notice the 1 extra blank breadcrumb item and the 2 redundant tab menu below the team scope selector, which could be safely removed, see screenshot below.

Research direction
Start by reviewing the changes in pull request #10309, especially the referenced logical checks around line 269. Reproduce the expired, deleted-team, reset-invite, and blocked-user cases described in the issue. Done means the error page no longer shows blank breadcrumb items or redundant tab navigation.
