Open where you left off

[MathiasWP]

Collections, requests and responses were already durable. Everything about looking at them was not: the selected endpoint, both panes' tabs, the sidebar tab, which loader folders were expanded, and whatever had been typed into the scratch request. Every launch started on an empty scratch request with the sidebar back on Collections — a small thing after a deliberate quit, and a rude one after an auto-update restart nobody asked for.

All of it now lives in src/lib/session.svelte.ts: one JSON blob in local storage, restored synchronously before the first frame rather than from an effect after it, so the window opens as it was rather than visibly rearranging itself. A stored endpoint that no longer exists — deleted elsewhere, or dropped by a loader — falls back to the scratch request instead of leaving the pane blank.

An update restart also flushes the debounced section writes now. It never did: Rust holds an exit long enough for the frontend to save, but only for an exit it did not ask for itself (code: None), and relaunch() goes through request_restart() carrying a restart code that sails straight past that handler. The last few hundred milliseconds of edits went with the old process. The same flush runs on pagehide, which covers a webview torn down and brought back without going through either quit path.

Window size and position needed nothing — tauri-plugin-window-state already writes those on RunEvent::Exit, and the restart path does emit it.

Worth knowing

• The scratch request's headers now sit in local storage in plaintext. Same exposure as a saved request's headers in its TOML file; keychain secrets are still only referenced, never copied. A scratch body over 256 KB is remembered as empty rather than risking the storage quota.
• Still not restored: sidebar scroll position, the specific History entry that was open, and an endpoint past the sidebar's first 100-row page still needs scrolling to before its row mounts.

Testing

pnpm check, pnpm test (137 Rust tests) and pnpm test:e2e (336, including 8 new in tests/e2e/session.spec.ts) all pass.
