OCPBUGS-62296: Preserve path on perspective switch

[KevinFCormier]

When navigating to a dynamic plugin route directly, if the route is associated with a perspective, the path is often truncated to just what is registered in the extension. Any subpath is discarded.

This always happens if the console is not already in the target perspective, and it happens intermittently when the console is already in the target perspective.

In the examples below, I enter the URL http://localhost:9000/multicloud/governance/policies but I get frequently get redirected to http://localhost:9000/multicloud/governance before the fixed code.

tested against a cluster-bot cluster, I can see path is correctly preserved in navigation but perspective switching is not happening as expected

• Stay in Administrator, visit /multicloud/governance/policies URL, it goes to correct page/path, however left panel is admin perspective
• Manually switch to Fleet Management, and visit /multicloud/governance/policies URL, it goes to correct page/path, however left panel is still admin perspective

not sure if above issue has some relation to acm version, I'm having ACM 2.14.0 though

$ oc get csv -A 
NAMESPACE                              NAME                                  DISPLAY                                      VERSION          REPLACES   PHASE
multicluster-engine                    multicluster-engine.v2.9.0            multicluster engine for Kubernetes           2.9.0                       Succeeded

[yapei]

tested again with ACM 2.15 and MCE 2.10, now it looks like it's working as expected

• In Administrator perspective, visit some urls like: /multicloud/governance/policies and /multicloud/applications/advanced sub-path can be preserved
• In ACM perspective, stay on some page and refresh, sub-path still persisted

Screen.Recording.2025-10-13.at.8.51.50.PM.mov

[yapei]

however when I visit admin console URLs in ACM perspective, sub-path can be preserved and treated correctly, but perspective is not loaded as expected(it's still in ACM perspective)

Screen.Recording.2025-10-13.at.9.01.43.PM.mov

[KevinFCormier]

@yapei Yes, we are only starting to link pages to the ACM perspective as of 2.15.0.
