CLAUDE WATERMARK REMOVER · DESTINATION TEST

Does a copied search-parameter object update the original URL?

No. The measured copy changes independently while the URL retains its original parameter.

Tested 30 October 2026 · Synthetic fixtures · Minimal DOM

What the test establishes

The callback removes the marker from the query value. A separate URLSearchParams is then constructed from the URL parameters. Editing this copy produces q=b but leaves the URL at q=a. A destination that intends to navigate with the revised query must update the URL parameters or explicitly assign the serialized copy back to the URL.

Reproduce the observation

Save tested-app.js and reproduce.cjs together, then run node reproduce.cjs. Compare its output with the recorded observation. The harness executes the actual homepage callback in a minimal DOM and records its resulting field values and method calls. Destination operations run in Node.js; the homepage DOM is a controlled substitute. Runtime: v24.22.1. No submitted text or genuine Claude output is used.

}

Capability boundary

No network request or navigation occurs. This tests ownership of a parameter copy, not duplicate keys, sorting, percent decoding or live-iterator deletion.

This Claude watermark remover edits a small selected character set. These callback observations do not establish authorship, detector scores, statistical-watermark removal or end-to-end browser behavior. For real work, keep the original and compare the exact result at its destination.
