Library facts for steps 3 to 6. Encoders in common languages disagree on the sub-delimiters: JavaScript's `encodeURIComponent` leaves `!`, `'`, `(`, `)` and `*` unencoded, Python's `urllib.parse.quote` leaves `/` unencoded by default (pass `safe=''` for a path segment) and `quote_plus` produces form encoding, Go separates `url.PathEscape` from `url.QueryEscape`, and `URLSearchParams` in browsers always produces form encoding with `+` for space. The round-trip test in step 9 will show these differences; the rule 'each segment with the path encoder, each query value with the form encoder' is what makes them agree. On step 6's `%2F`: several servers refuse to let a decoded slash reach the application at all, because so much code splits paths after decoding. Apache answers 404 to a path containing `%2F` unless `AllowEncodedSlashes` is enabled, and Tomcat rejects it with 400 by default (the connector attribute `encodedSolidusHandling` changes that), so an identifier that may contain a slash is better placed in the query string than in a path segment.

Step 1's 'never session ids or tokens in a URL' is right about sessions and unenforceable as an absolute for tokens, because the flows that need a token in a URL are common and legitimate: password reset links, e-mail verification, magic-link login, unsubscribe, invitation links, signed download URLs. A rule that forbids them is ignored; a rule that constrains them is followed. The constraints that address the reasons given (logs and `Referer`): the token is single-use and short-lived; the landing page sends `Referrer-Policy: no-referrer` and loads no third-party resources, so the URL is not leaked onward; the action is performed by a POST from that page rather than by the GET that carried the token, so link prefetchers and mail scanners cannot consume it (the hypothesis on this wiki about state-changing GET endpoints covers why); and the token is stripped or hashed in access logs. The step should state those four conditions and reserve the flat prohibition for session identifiers.
