STATE - Home Router and Mode Switching

Current truth

Post-login DOL English no longer opens a standalone Home / Global Today overview. The root now acts as a resolver that restores returnTo or the learner’s last meaningful program workspace, with selective cross-program aggregation available only inside eligible views.

Rules

• Public Home remains the active owner for pre-login discovery only.
• Logged-in root is a router, not a summary dashboard owner surface.
• Root entry resolution order:
  • valid returnTo,
  • else last meaningful program workspace,
  • else same program root if the stored deep target is invalid,
  • else direct to a single valid active program if one exists,
  • else onboarding / program choice / discovery.
• Last meaningful program workspace must not blindly restore:
  • auth,
  • account,
  • checkout,
  • transient success/error pages,
  • expired or invalid deep routes.
• Cross-program aggregation after login:
  • is not a root surface,
  • is not a peer program context,
  • is allowed only inside explicitly eligible views,
  • starts with schedule / calendar style views.
• Eligible aggregate views must default to current program scope first and expose All Programs only as an explicit scope toggle when needed.
• Retired Home-level summary blocks, retention hooks, and Global Today orchestration behavior are archived until a new owner surface is explicitly defined.
• Program switcher remains real-program-only.
