Owner

Found in the #656 QA pass (v0.6.247, files.c0rdyceps.ch).

Matrix rows: §2 Favorites / Recents; §4 Shares view; §2 Delete + trash.

Steps
Click each sidebar entry in turn and read location.hash afterwards:

Sidebar entry	URL after click
Personal	`#/home` ✓
Spaces	`#/spaces` ✓
Favorites	unchanged
Recents	unchanged
Shares	unchanged
Deleted files	unchanged
Transfers	unchanged
Federated	unchanged

Seen: six of the eight destinations keep whatever hash was there before. E.g. after opening Favorites from Personal / _qa, the address bar still says #/home/_qa.

Consequences

Reloading on Favorites, Recents or Shares drops the user back into whichever folder they were last in.
Browser Back skips these views entirely.
They can't be bookmarked or linked ("open your Shares tab and revoke X" can't be sent as a link).
An agent or tester navigating by URL lands somewhere else. That's how this was found: see #667 for what a mistyped route renders.

Expected: every sidebar destination has a route (e.g. #/favorites, #/recents, #/shares, #/trash, #/transfers, #/federated), as Personal and Spaces already do.
