Deeplink always redirects to "Refresh" theme regardless of current theme

Hi,

I’m experiencing an issue where the theme editor deeplink is not respecting the current published theme.

Steps to reproduce:

Set Refresh (v15.3.0) as the current theme
→ Deeplink works correctly:
https://admin.shopify.com/store/plugilo-dev/themes/current/editor?context=apps&template=collection
Redirects to the correct theme editor.

Set Dawn (v15.2.0) as the current theme
→ The same deeplink still redirects to Refresh instead of Dawn.

Reproduced the same issue using Sense and Trade themes.
→ No matter which theme is set as current, the deeplink always redirects to Refresh.

Expected behavior:
The deeplink should open the editor for the theme that is currently published (/themes/current/), not a fixed theme ID.

Current behavior:
Always redirects to:
https://admin.shopify.com/store/plugilo-dev/themes/180500889892/editor?context=apps&previewPath=%2Fcollections%2Fautomated-collection
→ Which is the ID of the Refresh theme.

Please advise if this is a known bug or if there’s a workaround to force the deeplink to respect the active theme.

Thanks!

Hi @Liam-Shopify,
We have been encountering this issue quite frequently recently. We have noticed that different machines encounter different default theme redirect issues. Is there a way to fix this?
