[Page] When navigating through subfolder lists in the page contents section, links truncate subdirectory paths

[blacklightpy]

Describe the bug
In my phone, I didn't have the navbar, so I switched to a page by search and tried navigating via the breadcrumbs. The first two clicks worked right, but the third click (reason explained below) took me to a broken link.

Basically the link strips the subdirectory path. That is, if the website is hosted at example.com/subdirectory (the content being at example.com/subdirectory/path1/path2/...), the URL changes into example.com/path1/path2/path3.

This doesn't happen in desktop mode view.

Also, this only happens every third click when navigating subfolders.

That is, I go to any page, then I use breadcrumbs to switch to a folder, then I switch to a subfolder, and then switch to any note or subfolder, I'll see that the links are broken.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Go to a quartz website with at least three levels of nesting. That is, Folder 1> Folder 2 > File X / Folder 3
2. Go to a file under Folder 1 by search (e.g. Folder 1/Folder 2/File Y)
3. Switch to Folder 1 via breadcrumbs
4. Switch another folder, Folder 2 via breadcrumbs or contents list
5. Switch to any other file or folder
6. See that the link breaks

Expected behavior
Link doesn't break

Screenshots and Source

1. Me at a random page
   

2. I switched to 🔮 World Building folder
   

3. I switched to the Science and Engineering subfolder (notice that it's okay, and I have the domain subfolder path (/notes/) in the URL
   

4. I switched to the Science Resources subfolder and it breaks (notice that I don't have the domain subfolder path in the URL)
   

My website: https://blacklightpy.github.io/notes

Desktop (please complete the following information):

• Quartz Version: Latest Branch (4.4.0)
• node Version: 22 (GitHub CI job copied from docs)
• npm version: "
• OS: "
• Browser: Google Chrome on Android

All breadcrumbs from folderpage seem to exhibit described behavior, even on desktop. Refreshing the page fixes the issue. I suspect a problem determining the root path.

Can you check if this issue gets worse if you are several folders deep? I want to know if deeper levels cut of more of the link.

[blacklightpy]

It's actually better.

Say I start here: https://blacklightpy.github.io/notes/%F0%9F%94%AE-World-Building/Science-and-Engineering/Physics/Mechanics/Electrodynamics/Optics

I can move back to any number of folders via the breadcrumbs. But if I click a link from the subfolder list, it loads fine, but all the links in the new page, including breadcrumbs lose the /notes path and breaks. so this is not about page depth, just the routing.

Aha, turns out this isn't just for mobile, I just happened to notice this because I only navigated through the subfolder list in the contents section when I was using the phone. This is a problem in that area.

This is especially a problem for mobile phones where you can't navigate well without the directory tree.
