Addressability competes with private/transient state and URL/schema stability.
Proposed solution: encode the public, stable resource identity and relevant view
selection in path/query parameters. Define parameter validation, defaults and route
resolution so direct entry and reload reconstruct that selection under current
authorization. A URL identifies a view, not necessarily immutable bytes or guaranteed
selection in path/query parameters, or in a fragment when a declared client runtime
reconstructs the view. Define validation, defaults and the required resolution path
so direct entry and reload reconstruct that selection under current authorization.
A client-fragment contract does not imply no-script availability. A URL identifies a view, not necessarily immutable bytes or guaranteed
future availability. Use an explicit version if a stable historical snapshot matters.
Do not place secrets, private draft content, focus or every transient interaction

The authored guard supports this obligation only in the tested schedules, not a

## Independent application source contrast — 2026-09-27
[Zulip ZN01–ZN08](../reviews/ZulipNavigationSourceStudy.md) locates pinned hash-to-view
reconstruction, separate history pointer/offset state, and current-list guards on
main fetch continuations. It supplies static partial application evidence; no direct
load or Back race was executed in Zulip. Auxiliary lookup/anchor paths and deferred
focus remain unverified.
Applicability belongs to each effect: noncurrent results can still populate cached
data without acquiring the right to change current selection. Object/list identity
and a navigation generation are different implementation policies; neither alone
proves freshness. Keep addressability separate from no-script enhancement and from
within-session focus/scroll restoration. Full-contract recurrence remains unassessed.
