I have included the browser console logs.
I have included the Docker container logs.
I have provided every relevant configuration, setting, and environment variable used in my setup.
I have clearly listed every relevant configuration, custom setting, environment variable, and command-line option that influences my setup (such as Docker Compose overrides, .env values, browser settings, authentication configurations, etc).
I have documented step-by-step reproduction instructions that are precise, sequential, and leave nothing to interpretation. My steps:
Start with the initial platform/version/OS and dependencies used,
Specify exact install/launch/configure commands,
List URLs visited, user input (incl. example values/emails/passwords if needed),
Describe all options and toggles enabled or changed,
Include any files or environmental changes,
Identify the expected and actual result at each stage,

Expected Behavior

UI state should be isolated per browser tab/session view.
Opening an Artifacts preview in one tab should not automatically expand the Advanced Settings/Controls panel in another tab that is on Home.

Actual Behavior

If I open an Artifacts preview in one browser tab, then open another tab and go to Home, the Home tab automatically expands the Advanced Settings/Controls panel without user action.

Steps to Reproduce

Open Open WebUI in browser tab A.
In tab A, open a chat and trigger/open an Artifacts preview.
Open browser tab B (same Open WebUI instance/session).
In tab B, navigate to Home.
Observe that Advanced Settings/Controls in tab B is auto-expanded.

Logs & Screenshots

Additional Information

This appears to be cross-tab UI state leakage/synchronization (possibly shared localStorage/state listeners).
The issue is specifically about tab A (Artifacts action) affecting tab B (Home Advanced Settings panel state).
