Fix Homepage Chat Redirect Handler Issues (AAI-489)

🐛 Problem Description

The homepage chat redirect handler (useRedirectToDefaultChatflow) was experiencing critical stability issues that prevented proper user navigation:

Core Issues:

  • ❌ Infinite re-executions: Hook triggered multiple times causing redirect loops
  • ❌ Unnecessary API calls: Multiple clientApi.getMe() calls due to re-executions
  • ❌ Complex state management: hasRedirected useState approach caused timing issues
  • ❌ JSX element issues: Homepage component had element return problems
  • ❌ Path restrictions: Unnecessary path checks preventing proper redirects

✅ Solution Overview

  • Moved redirect logic TO homepage → Users now get redirected from / (root)
  • Implemented the hook in homepage component → Added useRedirectToDefaultChatflow
  • Enhanced the hook logic → Better error handling and timeout protection
  • Updated homepage JSX → Fixed element returns to support redirect

Architectual Improvement

  • Homepage handles redirect decisions (logical entry point)
  • Users get immediate redirect to correct destination
  • Clean separation of concerns
