Description
Describe the bug
I have an issue on mobile (iOS/iPhone). I'm developing a form that has text inputs. If I enter some data and swipe to a different app for a short while, when I swipe back to the SvelteKit app, it refreshes the page and clears all the form inputs. Just tested and this even happens if I simply add an input the index.svelte of the skeleton app after a fresh SvelteKit install.
This does not seem to happen with Svelte apps. Only SvelteKit apps.
Mobile ONLY! Desktop apps are fine
Reproduction
Install the skeleton SvelteKit app.
Add an input to the index.svelte page.
Run the app
Enter some data in the form input
Switch to another app
Wait 5+ seconds
Switch back to the SvelteKit app
Watch the form data clear...

Research direction
Reproduce this in a fresh SvelteKit skeleton app by adding an input to index.svelte, entering text, switching apps on an iPhone, and returning after five seconds. Compare the mobile behavior with a Svelte app and inspect the app lifecycle or reload path involved. Done means returning to the SvelteKit app no longer clears the entered form data.
