feat(viewer): homeView host flag — don't auto-select a session when the host owns Home#174
Merged
Conversation
…he host owns Home When a host owns its own session-less landing (e.g. sideshow cloud's Home feed), auto-selecting a session on boot leaves it highlighted in the sidebar behind the host's landing, and navigating back to the session-less route never clears it (applyRoute ignores a null route). Add an opt-in `homeView` flag to SideshowHost: when set, the engine honors a deep-linked route session but otherwise stays session-less on boot (no selection, no highlight), and clears its selection when the route becomes session-less. Self-hosted leaves the flag unset and is unchanged (auto-selects the latest on boot; deselects via the wordmark goHome). Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>

goHome(). Covered bye2e/embed-home-view.spec.ts(flag on → nothing selected; flag off → auto-selects). Changeset (minor).🤖 Generated with Claude Code
