server: the three profile links navigate, rather than swapping a document into a cell `00ee7af5` shipped `Action::navigating()` in quasi 0.63 as the ruling of `3cf246ec`: a read of a route that replaces the whole document keeps its anchor and drops the htmx verb. `discover_search.rs:165` took it; the three sites the ruling named as already shipped did not. library_contacts.rs:212 a buyer's username -> /u/{username} library_contacts.rs:246 a shared creator's display name -> /u/{username} buyer_contacts.rs:156 the same, on the payments tab Each emitted `href` and `hx-get` together with `hx-swap="outerMorph"` and no `hx-target`, so htmx's default target is the element itself: a whole `<!doctype html>` profile page morphed over the `<td>` it was clicked in. Neither screen is served described on any host yet, so this was never a production defect -- both are gated behind `QUASI_SCREENS`, and the flips are pending. buyer_contacts was not named by any task. It was found by grepping the described screens for the bare spelling rather than by reading the two line numbers mnw-server `5b8edcab` carried. Each test now asserts the absence of the verb as well as the presence of the anchor, since the href alone was true before the change too.
