Research direction

No file, test, or entry point is named. Start by locating the domain-change flow and the Facebook share-button handling, then determine whether share counts can be preserved or whether the domain-change confirmation must warn about their loss. Done means the selected behavior is implemented and verified with an appropriate test.
