Re: "Canceling input reverts to wrong page"
Thanks for the detailed feedback. I will look this over carefully.
The back navigation when cancelling an input prompt is not a bug.
By "not a bug" I mean the back-on-cancel is intentional. But as you point out, there are some subtleties involved when it comes to input queries: are they actually pages where the user navigated to or not, and how do they interact with the history. I've spent a fair amount of time on this in the past.
I do have a concern about your Dice Poker implementation, though. Is there no URL where you can just see the game state as is, without taking an action?
I've tagged this as #bug because I think there may be unintentional behavior in the management of the search history when opening a link that points to the same page where the link was opened from. It may be considered effectively a simple reload of the page.

What I am trying to figure out now, is why this does not happen in Farkle? Hitting 'cancel' just leaves the page it came from intact, and that is also on the same URL...
Android 1.17 B27 2024-04-20 I've seen it before but was unable to get a consistent demo until now. The problem occurs when a dynamically-generated page based on user input loads and contains a link requesting more input, with the same URL. Canceling input should redraw the page as it was shown, but instead, backs up in history to show the previous page! To reproduce the bug: [gemini link] Play a couple of hands normally; Note the dice rolled during a new round, and click on the link to open the...
