Research direction

Start with the Sentry report and the stack trace at ../node_modules/@hotwired/turbo/dist/turbo.es2017-esm.js:1041 in View.render; determine which website interaction leaves this.renderer undefined. Trace that interaction into the website code, reproduce the failure, and add coverage showing that the render path no longer raises this TypeError.
