## Description

This library is a navigation manager for Vue applications that provides a stack-based history system to simulate native mobile application behavior. It functions as a router extension that tracks route transitions and maintains a chronological log of visited pages, allowing for predictable forward and backward movement within single-page applications.

The project distinguishes itself by preserving component states, including scroll positions and data, during navigation. By caching these states in memory, it prevents full page re-renders when users return to previous views, ensuring that the application returns to the exact point of interaction.

The system integrates with centralized state management stores to synchronize navigation events and history records reactively. It provides an event-driven interface that allows developers to hook into navigation lifecycles, enabling custom logic execution during forward, backward, or reset transitions. Additionally, the library offers programmatic control over the navigation stack, allowing for the inspection or clearing of history records to manage complex application flows.
