Laravel 11 Jetstream inertia redirect issue after closing browser tab and revisiting site

Hi everyone, I am having a redirect issue when closing the browser tab without closing the browser and revisiting the site. I get redirected to Dashboard.

This is the normal behavior however I have changed my home path to a view called timeline.

// config\fortify.php

'home' => '/timeline',

This is my /routes/web.php

<?php

use Illuminate\Foundation\Application;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Route;
use Inertia\Inertia;
use App\Http\Controllers\TimelineController;
use App\Http\Controllers\DashboardController;

Route::get('/', function () {
    return redirect()->route('login');
});

// A dynamic way to change the robots.txt depending on what environment your in.
Route::get('/robots.txt', function () {
    if (app()->environment('production')) {
        return response("User-agent: *\nDisallow:", 200, ['Content-Type' => 'text/plain']);
    } else {
        return response("User-agent: *\nDisallow: /", 200, ['Content-Type' => 'text/plain']);
    }
});

Route::middleware([
    'auth:sanctum',
    config('jetstream.auth_session'),
    'verified',
])->group(function () {
    Route::get('/timeline', [TimelineController::class, 'index'])->name('timeline');
    Route::get('/dashboard', [DashboardController::class, 'index'])->name('dashboard');
});

With the help of ChatGPT I tried to narrow down where this redirect is happening with no luck. I'm guessing the session has something to do with it. It's a fresh install other than creating a new timeline.vue and redirecting the "/" route to the login page.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
