Issue reported by: @iwiznia
Slack conversation (hyperlinked to channel name): #Quality

Action Performed:

1. Open Chronos and log a start or stop event.
2. Immediately switch to another chat.
3. Check the LHN while sorted by “Most Recent.”

Expected Result:

Chronos should surface to the top of the LHN based on the recent logging activity, reflecting its latest interaction.

Actual Result:

Chronos does not appear at the top of the LHN, despite recent user interaction, and appears to be missing from the most recent chats list.

Workaround:

Can the user still use Expensify without this being fixed? Have you informed them of the workaround?

Saw this again.
I pressed CMD+K and typed chr as soon as it showed in the suggested searches, it appeared in the LHN (without me having to click on it)
