Raw Normal View History

/**
* Writes the in-app navigation trail that funnel attribution reads.
*
* Renders nothing. It exists because document.referrer cannot answer "which
* page did they come from" in an App Router app: a soft navigation creates no
* document, so the browser never updates it. See the trail comment in
* lib/analytics.ts.
*
* Mounted once in the root layout, so every route is recorded — including the
* ones that fire no event of their own, which are still somebody else's
* previous page.
