What it does
Pressing Join on a private group that needs approval sends this mutation: it asks to join the group (groupID, input) and answers with the viewer's new state, group_request_to_join.viewer and the group. In run 20261020T101203 (Bethlehem, Northeast Bethlehem Neighbors) it fired 1.3 s after the click on button "Join Group", took 1.6 s and answered viewer_join_state: REQUESTED. A group with no approval answers through GroupCometJoinForumMutation instead (MEMBER).
What our machine does with it
The join machine (src/facebook/group/join, log facebook join group) reads it in readJoinOptions (joinOptions.ts): it is one of JOIN_MUTATIONS, so its viewer_join_state becomes the group's state (REQUESTED → requested in Twenty's joinStatus), with this mutation as the state's source, and inferJoinState takes the request path from it. When the group also has membership questions (GroupsCometMembershipQuestionsPreloadedDialogQuery), the machine stops at questionsShown with the questions kept in joinSubmission; answers are a separate step (--answer, --fill).
What can go wrong
Only a 200 with REQUESTED has been seen in our runs. If the mutation is missing or has no viewer_join_state, readJoinOptions skips it and the state falls back to the page's own HTML (viewer_join_state in the group page) and the snapshot; if neither confirms a join, the run says so (groupJoinNotConfirmed) instead of recording a state it didn't see.
