Deleting a board promotes its sub-boards to top-level boards and opens one of them

1

After deleting a board from the Boards list (delete, then remove it from the list), the app immediately opened one of that board's sub-boards as if it were a normal top-level board. On returning to the Boards list, a number of sub-boards that had been nested under boards earlier in the day were now showing as standalone top-level boards. Nothing was done to them directly – the only action was deleting one board.

Steps to reproduce
1. In the Boards panel, pick a board that has sub-boards.
2. Delete it and remove it from the list.
3. Observe which board the app opens next and check the Boards list.

Expected
Deleting a board either deletes its sub-boards with it (with a warning) or asks what to do with them. The app should return to the previous/current board, not open an orphaned sub-board. No other board's sub-boards should change nesting.

Actual
One of the sub-boards was opened automatically and now appears as a top-level board, and several other sub-boards now appear as top-level boards in the list (parent link lost).

Context
Feature: Boards panel – delete board / sub-board hierarchy (parent_id handling). Platform: Windows 11 desktop app. Current board SMA-b18d0. Looks like the delete path clears parent_id on child boards (or on more children than the deleted board's) and then selects the first resulting board.

Environment
App version: 10.9.0
Platform: Windows 11 (AMD64)
