Research direction

Reproduce the issue in Viewer by enabling terrain, geocoding to "Seneca Rocks," copying the URL, and opening it in a new tab. Trace how the Viewer serializes and restores the camera position from the URL, then verify that the reopened view matches the original mountain-peak view.
