Explanation of Change

Workspace expense reports whose only expense is a pending (unposted) Expensify Card transaction were being counted in the "Submit" to-do and shown a Submit button, even though such a report can't be submitted until the transaction posts (its own next-steps text already says so).

The to-do buckets are classified by isSubmitAction in src/libs/ReportPrimaryActionUtils.ts. Its hasNoSubmittableTransaction guard already excluded reports whose transactions are all scanning / smartscan-failed, but it did not account for all-pending reports. The sibling isApproveAction in the same file already excludes all-pending reports, so Submit was inconsistent with Approve.

This adds isPending(transaction) to the hasNoSubmittableTransaction check. Because all four surfaces (Home/For You tile, Inbox/Search "Submit" badge, Spend count, and the report-level Submit button) derive from this single predicate, one change fixes all of them.

This is the same family of bug as #637331 (all-held reports), but for pending card transactions. The server-side parallel is handled in a companion Auth PR so the prefetched Search snapshot agrees with the client.

Fixed Issues

$ https://github.com/Expensify/Expensify/issues/653982
PROPOSAL:

Tests

  1. Set up a Collect/Control workspace where you are the submitter, with an Expensify Card.
  2. Create a workspace expense report whose only expense is a pending (unposted) card transaction (still pending, not yet posted).
  3. Open NewDot Home (For You): verify the report is not counted in the "Submit" tile.
  4. Open Inbox and the Search type-menu: verify the "Submit" badge does not count the report.
  5. Open the Spend tab: verify the report is not included in the Submit count.
  6. Open the report itself: verify no Submit button is offered and next-steps says the transaction is still pending.
  7. Add a second, normal (posted) expense to the same report and verify the report is now submittable (Submit prompt/button reappear), confirming only all-pending reports are excluded.
  • Verify that no errors appear in the JS console

Offline tests

Same as Tests. The to-do counts are derived locally from Onyx data (ONYXKEYS.DERIVED.TODOS), so the pending report should be excluded from the Submit to-do while offline as well.

QA Steps

Same as Tests.

  • Verify that no errors appear in the JS console

P2 Badge Keep Submit visible for non-card pending expenses

When an open report contains a pending cash/manual transaction (a transaction with status: PENDING but no Expensify-card metadata), this isPending() check makes hasNoSubmittableTransaction true and removes the Submit primary action/to-do. Other submit entry points only block hasOnlyPendingCardTransactions(...), and the existing ReportPrimary/Secondary action tests treat pending non-card transactions as submittable, so this should gate pending status on card transactions instead of all pending transactions.
