• Use reanimated modal in Help modal #65409: PR overhauled BaseModal to use a new reanimated implementation, which globally affects how every modal (including the “You moved this expense” modal) layers over existing screens, making it most likely to cause an incorrect background view.
• Migrate Workspaces right-docked modals (2/2) to use Reanimated #65626: Changed the core ReanimatedModal container and utilities used by workspace-related modals, so slide-in/out and backdrop handling could expose the underlying Workspaces list when the expense-moved modal appears.

• Fix - Workspace - Expense can be created on report by WS member, but leads to error. #65690: Refactored multiple workspace-expense utils and report handling logic; this touches the flow that navigates after moving an expense between workspaces and could leave the Workspaces list visible under the confirmation modal.
