Summary
minimalDescriptionas versioned UTF-8 Base64URL in the URL fragmentWhy
Sharing the original
DisplayList.descriptionproduces unnecessarily long URLs and preserves details that are not needed to inspect the encoding. In the checked fixture, the source description is 3,505 bytes while its canonicalminimalDescriptionis 91 bytes. The compact form retains the encoding structure and makes reconstruction loss explicit with the existing?and*placeholders.User impact
Users can copy a self-contained link, open it in another browser, and immediately inspect the same encoding. The URL fragment stays browser-local and is removed when the editor is cleared or becomes invalid.
