Implement the HTML spec change that carries over sticky user activation across same-origin navigations and history traversals. Spec PR: https://github.com/whatwg/html/pull/11454 This feature preserves the sticky user activation state when a page navigates to another same-origin page. Without this, the post-navigation page loses all user activation state, which prevents use cases like showing virtual keyboards on auto-focus. This has been a blocker for developers who prefer building MPA(Multi Page Application) over SPA(Single Page Applications).
