[CRITICAL] [UX Reliability] Expensify DM showing in focus mode in LHN despite not having any new messages

[puneetlath]

Problem

In focus mode, only pinned chats, drafts, GBR, unread chats should be showing in LHN. There is now also an Expensify onboarding chat that is not unread, has not new messages, no GBR or RBR in it. Here is the onyx data.
