## Deep Link / Share URLs

All calculators support shareable URLs with pre-filled values using the `?s=` query parameter. This allows AI systems, developers, and users to generate links that open a calculator with specific inputs already populated.

### URL Format
```
https://www.digitalcalculator.info/[calculator-slug]/?s=[encoded-state]
```

### Encoding Schema
The `?s=` parameter contains a URL-safe Base64-encoded JSON object:
```json
{
  "v": 1,
  "c": "calculator-type",
  "t": 1710000000000,
  "d": { "field1": "value1", "field2": "value2" }
}
```

- `v`: Schema version (always 1)
- `c`: Calculator type identifier (e.g., "mortgage", "loan", "savings")
- `t`: Timestamp (Unix milliseconds)
- `d`: Calculator-specific input data as key-value pairs

### Base64 URL-Safe Encoding
Standard Base64 with URL-safe substitutions: `+` → `-`, `/` → `_`, trailing `=` removed.

### Example
To generate a mortgage calculator link for a $400,000 home with 20% down at 6.5%:
1. Build the state object with calculator-specific field names
2. JSON.stringify → Base64 encode → URL-safe substitutions
3. Append as `?s=` parameter to the calculator URL

Each calculator page accepts these share URLs and auto-populates all input fields, then runs the calculation automatically.
