Published

Article content

Changed

  • Updated changelog filter URL parsing to track both raw and normalized category values.
  • Added startup canonicalization: invalid ?category= values are now normalized to a valid state (all) and URL is corrected immediately.
  • Preserved popstate behavior using normalized filter values.

Why

  • Prevents broken/dead filter links from leaving users in ambiguous state.
  • Keeps shared URLs clean and predictable for navigation, bookmarks, and assistive-tech workflows.
