initialState parameter for category (colors!)

Hello, I'm looking to make color categories active when the visualization is loaded as a static site.

I added parameters to initialState in the metadata.json, and they seem to work, for the most part. The "category" parameter, however, isn't reflected when the site loads. (No colors shown)

What's the best approach?

Thanks!

Start by tracing how initialState from metadata.json is applied during static-site loading, focusing on the category value and the visualization's color handling. Reproduce the load with a category in initialState and confirm the work is done when the selected category displays its colors.
