 Open `http://localhost:8090`.
 
+After both share URLs are valid, starting a job updates the browser fragment in the form
+`#left=<encoded-share-url>&right=<encoded-share-url>`. Reloading or bookmarking that URL restores both fields and
+automatically starts a new inspection. Passwords are intentionally excluded from the fragment and must be entered
+again for protected shares.
+
 ## WebSocket protocol
 
 All messages are JSON. Each WebSocket accepts exactly one complete job request and closes after its terminal response. A client that does not send a request within 10 seconds is disconnected. Passwords are accepted only in client messages and are never placed in URLs or echoed in status responses.
