Recommended way to reset all backstack and start from zero

[TepesLucian]

What's the best way to reset all circuit backstack programatically and start from zero like an app restart? Tried the following

navigator.resetRoot(TabScreen1, restoreState = false)
navigator.resetRoot(TabScreen2, restoreState = false)
navigator.resetRoot(TabScreen3, restoreState = false)
navigator.resetRoot(InitialScreen)

but tabs aren't cleared when navigating back to them from the BottomNavigation like navigator.resetRoot(TabScreen3, saveState = true, restoreState = true).
Another solution that i thought about :

val backstack = key(key) { // keep track of key and change when app restart is needed 
    rememberSaveableBackStack(VersionCheckScreen)
}

but my fear is that it will break other things like Navigator so figured i'd raise a question.

Couple ideas

• A new back stack instance seems like the best approach, ensures a clean state. Right now it can get recreated on a different initial screen, but allowing for extra input there seems reasonable 🤔
• Also might be good to have a way to clear the saved values in SaveableBackStack, given we can clear normal values by popping it

Do have a bug as we don't recreate the navigator correctly on a new backstack instance (or update the callback) 😬

return remember { Navigator(backStack, onRootPop) }

Yeah, I saw that and was another reason to raise this question. Would be great to have a wait to clear all navigation and start from zero.
