I’d tend to agree that using the browser history doesn’t feel like the right solution for this kind of undo/redo functionality. In my mind, undo/redo actions are too fine-granular, and pollute the history, which can be very inconvenient.

Another potential approach could be to offer a custom-built widget for the undo/redo stack in the UI – in the simplest case, for example, a dropdown. It could also be persisted somewhere, e.g. in local storage, so that it isn’t lost when you navigate away.

Thanks for all the feedback! This community is incredible <3

Just pushed a fix that should resolve this while still maintaining state in the URL (using replaceState as suggested by OP).

For now it foregoes the undo/redo. I'll explore implementing it as a separate widget as you suggest in the future.
