The app-detail page was the last corner of the SPA still using query
parameters for navigation state. Two related complaints surfaced it:
- `/app/adguard?tab=tasks` should mirror admin (`/admin/tools/peers`,
`/admin/config/network`) and be `/app/adguard/tasks`.
- The config sub-tab (general / advanced / features / network / …)
had no URL representation at all — `showTab` was a pure visual
swap with no history push, so refreshing a deep config sub-tab
sent the user back to the default first category.
New URL shape:
/app/<name> → config tab, default sub-tab
/app/<name>/<tab> → non-config main tab (tasks, backups, …)
/app/<name>/config/<category> → config tab + specific sub-tab
…?task=<id> → optional deep-link to a single task
Mirrors `adminPath` / `adminCategoryFromPath`. Two new helpers in
spa.js carry the convention:
window.appPath(name, tab, sub, taskId) → URL
window.appPartsFromPath(pathname) → { app, tab, sub }
Every URL constructor in the WebUI was replaced with `window.appPath`:
spa.js — handleAppDetail back-compat redirect
app-tabbed-manager.js — getTabFromURL + new getConfigSubFromURL
(path first, ?tab= fallback for legacy)
updateURL + updateApp use appPath
the inline task-deep-link constructor
apps-manager.js — showAppDetail + showAppDetailWithConfig
showTab now pushes /app/<n>/config/<sub>
renderAppDetail picks the sub-tab out of
the URL on first load
4 fallback task-URL constructors
tasks-manager.js — completion-notification URL
task-actions.js — start-notification URL
notifications.js — 2 task deep-link URLs
Back-compat: handleAppDetail detects legacy `?tab=` / `?config=` /
`?task=` queries and replaceState()s the URL to the canonical path
shape BEFORE anything else reads URL state — old bookmarks land on
the right page and end up with a clean URL.
Verified by running every appPath / appPartsFromPath case (including
the `logs` → `tasks` legacy alias) and confirming the round-trip is
identity. JS syntax checks clean on all six files. No remaining
hardcoded `/app/<x>?tab=` strings outside the back-compat comment.

Same class of bug as the topbar partial: icon and data-file references were
relative (icons/apps/x.svg, data/apps/...), so on deep path routes (/app/<name>,
/admin/config/x) the browser resolved them against the route dir and the SPA
catch-all served index.html with HTTP 200 instead of 404 — broken images and
silently-wrong JSON.
Make every reference absolute (anchored on the quote/backtick so already-absolute
/icons paths are untouched):
- JS: all icons/ and data/ literals + templates across components/utils/system
- html/topbar.html: logo <img>
- generators: webui_config.sh and webui_create_app_categories.sh now emit
/icons/... into apps.json / apps-categories.json (regenerated on install)
- updated the two icon-path comments to match

Convert the remaining sections off the legacy ?= query form to clean paths,
matching the Admin area:
/apps/<category> (was /apps?=<category>)
/app/<name>?tab=&task= (was /app?=<name>&tab=&task=)
/tasks/<category>?task= (was /tasks?=<category>&task=)
/backup/<tab> (was /backup?=<tab>)
Builders updated everywhere (sidebar, dashboard, notifications, tasks, apps,
app tabs, task-actions, setup watcher); parsers now read the resource from the
path with the legacy ?= kept as a fallback so old links/bookmarks still work
(server already serves index.html at any depth). Route table gains /apps* and
orders it before /app* (since '/apps' startsWith '/app'); active-nav and
config/apps data-loading recognise the new paths.
Tab/task remain ordinary query params (modifiers, not the primary resource).
