namespace content {

// Represents a subset of NavigationEntry's fields, stored in this structure for
// the cases where a navigation has been replaced (e.g. history.replaceState())
// and the original values must be remembered. The main goal is to make sure
// important user-initiated navigations like PAGE_TRANSITION_TYPED and
// PAGE_TRANSITION_AUTO_BOOKMARK are not "lost" due to later replacements.
//
// Things worth pointing out:
// - This is the first commit that happens for a given NavigationEntry, before
//   any client redirects, location.replace() events, or history.replaceState()
//   events.
//
// - This URL might not be the same as the first entry in the original redirect
//   chain (aka original_request_url), since it represents the landing URL in
//   the original server-side redirect chain.
//
// - The value is preserved for navigations modifying history, including:
//   a) Cross-document replacement navigations which generate a new
//      NavigationEntry with replacement (e.g. client redirects and
//      location.replace()).
//   b) Same-document cases that update the existing NavigationEntry (e.g.
//      history.replaceState()).
//
// - Keeping a single value of this struct (per navigation controller index) is
//   generally sufficient because the relevant page transition that we care
//   about (PAGE_TRANSITION_TYPED and PAGE_TRANSITION_AUTO_BOOKMARK) always
//   create a new entry.
//
// The concept is valid for subframe navigations but we only need to track it
// for main frame navigations.
