+// Regression tests for issue #2: stale closure caused breadcrumbs to disappear on back-navigation.
+//
+// The bug: createPathSegment's onClick closed over `graphsPath` from the render in which
+// the segment was created. After further navigation the closure was stale, so findIndex
+// returned -1 and splice(0) wiped the entire breadcrumb array.
+//
+// The fix: use the functional updater form of setGraphsPath so findIndex always runs
+// against the *current* state rather than a captured snapshot.
