fix: refresh stale page data after browser history restores - #1398
Returning to pages through browser history can restore stale data, including administrative controls that no longer match the server state. The individual history-refresh drafts each add a similar global navigation listener.
Change
Moves history refresh handling into the existing current-page tracking listener. It reloads only the page-specific props, resets paginated commit data where needed, and falls back to a document reload when the restored page is no longer available.
Tests
The current-page history test passed. Type checks and lint passed.
Summary by CodeRabbit
New Features
Relevant content on supported pages now refreshes when navigating backward or forward through browser history, while preserving the current page state.
Supported pages also refresh when returning to a page restored from the browser’s back-forward cache. Other pages are not refreshed automatically.
If a refresh encounters an unavailable page or denied access, the browser reloads the page.
It looks like this branch is under active development. To avoid overwhelming you with review comments due to an influx of new commits, CodeRabbit has automatically paused this review. You can configure this behavior by changing the reviews.auto_review.auto_pause_after_reviewed_commits setting.
The current-page tracker refreshes configured page props after Inertia history navigation and persisted pageshow events. Refreshes preserve state and replace history. HTTP 403 and 404 responses trigger a browser page reload. Unit tests cover refresh options and tracking lifecycle.

Summary
Configure and perform page refreshes resources/js/lib/current-page.ts
A component-to-options map defines the props and scroll behavior for refreshes. The refresh helper visits the stored URL, preserves state, replaces history, and reloads the browser page after HTTP 403 or 404 responses.
Track history restoration and validate refreshes resources/js/lib/current-page.ts, tests/Unit/CurrentPageHistory.test.tsx
The tracker stores the current component and URL, refreshes configured pages after history navigation and persisted pageshow events, and removes both listeners when stopped. Tests cover refresh options, response handling, and tracking lifecycle.
dev-null-sh/dev-null.sh#1401: Both PRs reload features when history navigation restores operations/features; this PR also handles persisted pageshow events.
dev-null-sh/dev-null.sh#1458: This PR adds history and bfcache catch-up for live props and moderation. The current PR separately refreshes selected non-live props.

Merge Risk: Low · previous review 247d4
Restoring a starred photo can replace the feed with the photo page. This is a narrow issue to fix or explicitly accept before merging.
Security architecture risk: Low · up to 247d4
The refresh is limited to three page types and retains server-side authorization for administrative actions and private data. No introduced authorization bypass was established. Concurrent navigation, failed refreshes, and photo-overlay restoration remain incompletely verified.
Retained concerns
No architecture-level concerns identified.
Security review details
Security Blast Radius
observed — The global listener initiates refreshes only for the three configured components. Their normal routes remain authenticated; operations reads additionally require admin authorization, and starred commits are queried for the current user.
Trust Boundaries and Controls
observed — The photo-URL edge case also passes through a server request authorization check. For authenticated users, it requires commit visibility, image visibility, and an in-range photo index. The inspected alternate URL does not establish a data-access bypass.
Resilience and Maintainability Implications
observed — The new tracker delegates response ordering and cancellation to Inertia without adding a local completion-time identity check. Its mocked-router test checks refresh options, listener cleanup, and 403/404 recovery, but does not establish concurrent response behavior or recovery from an unsuccessful refresh. These are unresolved guarantees, not verified security failures.

Include this test in the unit-test run.
The test:unit command selects tests/Unit/*.test.ts. It does not select CurrentPageHistory.test.tsx, so the normal unit-test run skips this test. Rename the file to .test.ts, since it contains no JSX, or extend the test file pattern. (raw.githubusercontent.com)

Review comment at @tests/Unit/CurrentPageHistory.test.tsx at line 33:
Rename the test containing “refreshes only stale props when restoring a cached
page” to use the .test.ts extension so the existing test:unit file pattern
discovers it; preserve the test’s contents and behavior.

@MrPunyapal, since #1458 (merged Nov 4), app.tsx calls catchUpAfterRestore() on history navigation and on pageshow with persisted, which reads every Inertia::live prop again. Several pages in historyReloads already get that:
moderation/show has its own catch-up through useRealtime on the moderation channel
What could make this PR smaller and easier to review:
Drop the device/index, safety/edit and organization-member/index entries, and probably moderation/show. Why: those props are already read again on restore, so each back navigation would now send a second request for the same data.
Keep operations/features, operations/emails and starred/index. Why: their props aren't live (Inertia::render / Inertia::scroll), so nothing refreshes them on restore today; that's the gap this PR actually fills.
Also refresh those on pageshow with persisted. Why: historyReloads only runs on Inertia's navigate event, and a page restored from the browser's back/forward cache doesn't go through it, so it would keep its stale data. feat: keep the web app live across tabs and devices #1458 listens to both for that reason.

@jubianchi
Thanks for pointing this out. You're right, #1458 already handles the live props.
I've updated the PR to remove the redundant refreshes, keeping only Features, Emails, and Starred. I also added support for pageshow with persisted and updated the tests.
I've closed #1401, #1402, and #1403 as they're now covered by this PR.

Problem
Returning to pages through browser history can restore stale data, including administrative controls that no longer match the server state. The individual history-refresh drafts each add a similar global navigation listener.
Change
Moves history refresh handling into the existing current-page tracking listener. It reloads only the page-specific props, resets paginated commit data where needed, and falls back to a document reload when the restored page is no longer available.
Tests
The current-page history test passed. Type checks and lint passed.
