Shareable UI state lives in the URL

Filters, tabs, and dialogs that users share should serialize to the address bar.

Guidance

Back/Forward restores state; avoid ephemeral-only critical UI state.

Do

  • URL-addressable reference filters
  • Preserve history

Do not

  • Trap users in non-shareable modal-only workflows for primary content

Verification contract

docs filter tests for Back/Forward
