 /**
  * URL-fragment encoding for the GitHub Pages deploy.
  *
  * The static deploy has no API, so a flow's full YAML lives in the URL hash:
- *   https://naorsabag.github.io/OpenHop/#<lz-uri-encoded>
+ *   https://naorsabag.github.io/openhop/#<encoded>
  *
- * `compressToEncodedURIComponent` is the LZ variant designed for URLs — its
- * output is already safe to drop straight into a hash without further encoding.
- * Decompresses to `null` on bad input (truncated link, foreign payload, etc.),
+ * Two on-the-wire formats coexist; the leading byte(s) of the fragment tell
+ * the decoder which one to use:
+ *
+ *   ~1<base64url>  — version 1: YAML parsed + restringified with minimal
+ *                    indentation (drops comments/whitespace), DEFLATE-raw
+ *                    compressed, base64url-encoded. ~30-50% shorter than v0.
+ *   <anything>     — legacy: lz-string's URL-safe variant of the raw YAML.
+ *
+ * `~` is outside lz-string's output alphabet
+ * (`[A-Za-z0-9$_-]`), so the version prefix is unambiguous and old share
+ * URLs in the wild keep working.
+ *
+ * Bad input (truncated link, foreign payload, etc.) round-trips to `null`,
  * which the app surfaces as a "share link looks corrupted" banner.
