Description

When the user navigates to the app via a New Post link, we should launch the editor in the app.

https://wordpress.com/post
https://wordpress.com/post/:domain
Considerations:

Is the user logged in?
If the URL contains a reference to a specific site, do we have that site in the app?
Will this link be triggered if the user tries to edit an existing post?
Existing posts link to /post/:domain/:post_id – we should ignore this case for now.

Research direction

Start by tracing the app's Universal Links handling and the navigation path into the editor. Check how login state and site availability are represented, then verify the /post and /post/:domain cases while leaving /post/:domain/:post_id ignored. Done means New Post links open the editor under the applicable conditions.
