Description

On both desktop and mobile, if you click a link to another page and then reload, it brings up the home page.
For example, if you click "Event" on the homepage and then reload, it brings up the home page, even though the URL is "https://hackrpi.com/event/".

Additionally, if you copy and paste a non-home page, it brings up the home page.

This issue seems to appear only on the production version (i.e., the version currently active on hackrpi.com). It does not affect the development version. I tried to duplicate this bug on localhost without success.
Therefore, it is either not possible or difficult for me to fix this bug on my own.

Research direction

Start by inspecting the production deployment and route handling for the TypeScript website, then compare them with the development version. Reproduce the issue by reloading and directly opening the Event URL on hackrpi.com. Done means non-home pages remain on their requested URLs after reload and direct navigation in production.
