Summary

Fix the StepPopped activity reducer so it no longer mutates the previous
activity's steps array in place.

Motivation

In core/src/activity-utils/makeActivityReducer.ts, every reducer derives a
new array when changing steps (e.g. StepPushed uses
[...activity.steps, newRoute]), except StepPopped

StepPopped: (activity: Activity, event: StepPoppedEvent): Activity => {
  activity.steps.pop();
  ...
}

What I have done

• Changed StepPopped to build the popped steps via activity.steps.slice(0, -1), returning a new array instead of mutating the original, and included it explicitly in the returned activity.
• Added core/src/activity-utils/makeActivityReducer.spec.ts, asserting that the original activity's steps reference and length are unchanged after the reducer runs, and that the new activity has the expected popped steps/params.
• Verified the new test fails against the pre-fix implementation (confirms it actually catches the mutation bug) and passes after the fix.

Test Plans

• Added a unit test asserting referential immutability of steps across the StepPopped reducer.
• Ran the full core test suite and tsc.

Test Results

• yarn jest (core): 15 suites / 87 tests passed.

📝 Summary

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Bug Fixes
  • Returning to the previous activity step now preserves the original step list while showing the remaining steps and restoring the previous step’s parameters.
• Tests
  • Added coverage to verify that returning to a previous step leaves the original activity unchanged and restores the expected parameters.

The StepPopped reducer now creates a new array for the remaining steps instead of mutating the existing array. A test checks that the original steps remain unchanged and that the returned activity has the expected steps and params.

Changes: Activity step pop

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Non-mutating step pop core/src/activity-utils/makeActivityReducer.ts, core/src/activity-utils/makeActivityReducer.spec.ts	StepPopped uses slice(0, -1) to create the remaining steps and derive params. The test checks that the original steps array remains unchanged and that the returned activity has the expected steps and params.

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to c9132

The reducer now preserves the prior activity’s steps while returning the popped result, and the added test checks that behavior. No actionable merge risk remains in the supplied full-change context.
