## Steps

1. Open <sample-base>/playground/branding/?variant=A.
2. Activate Previous direction and inspect the active direction and URL.
3. Activate Next direction and inspect them again.
4. Open each variant URL A, B, C, D and E in turn and inspect the study surface's data-direction.
5. For each direction, activate its main draft invitation and inspect Short summary; reload before the next direction.

## Expected outcomes

- Previous wraps from A to E; Next wraps back to A.
- Each URL selects its requested direction; navigating or reloading preserves the selected direction in the URL.
- All five invitations open a local draft with Short summary focused and seeded with Saved profile disappears after reload.
