**Category:** AI · **Tier:** light · **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.
