Category: AI · Tier: light · Maturity: proven (verified 2026-08-20 @ 1a130d67) · Risk: low — client-side state only, no external calls

A client-side Svelte state machine keeps Vely's conversation alive across page navigation, minimizing the panel instead of closing it when the user follows a link.

When to use: Use when a floating chat widget must survive route changes and reloads without losing the live thread.
