+- Scenario 1: Open conversation, URL updates ✓
+- Scenario 2: Scroll and save position ✓
+- Scenario 3: Open same conversation in Tab 2 ✓
+- Scenario 4: Independent scroll per tab ✓
+- Scenario 5: Page refresh preserves URL and conversation ✓
+- Scenario 6: Deep linking enables sharing ✓
+- Scenario 7: Streaming updates URL with session ID ✓
+- Scenario 8: Multiple conversations maintain separate scroll ✓
+
+**XSS Prevention:**
+- All ID validation uses regex: /^[a-zA-Z0-9_-]+$/
+- Length limit: 256 characters max
+- Tested against: <script>, ../../../, SQL injection, etc.
