- * is ES2023, and four example packages compile this source through the workspace
- * aliases with `"lib": ["ES2022", …]`, which would break `tsc --build` of the repo.
+ * The fragment comes back as the THIRD field, and each caller decides whether it
+ * counts: `isEchoOfLastPush` compares it, because `navigateRouter` writes it, and
+ * `isEchoOfLastSync` drops it, because the router reports it never.
+ *
+ * At index 0 the '#' is NOT a fragment: `lastSyncedPath` legitimately holds a bare
+ * stateId such as "#home", which `pushResolvedRoute` stores when it can resolve no
+ * path. Cutting there would turn that value into the empty string.
