Description

Directly using the view model for account setup and server verification, and then passing it to the relevant view, is not recommended and should be replaced by a proper solution. This applies for all view models used for composable views.

At the moment this is suppressed for ServerValidationContent, ServerValidationScreen and AccountSetupScreen

Research direction

Start by locating ServerValidationContent, ServerValidationScreen, and AccountSetupScreen, then inspect the suppression covering their direct ViewModel forwarding. Trace how composable views receive these ViewModels and determine the proper replacement for all affected composable views. Done means the forwarding is replaced and the suppression is no longer needed.
