Describe the issue:

Similar to #3172

Reloading the page/tab does not reload the help pane

*note - this occurs in both workbench and desktop positron

Screen.Recording.2024-11-20.152021.mp4

Steps to reproduce the issue:

  1. Load a new Positron workbench session
  2. Execute help in R, e.g. ?library()
  3. Observe help pane is populated
  4. Reload the tab/window

Expected or desired behavior:

Help to still show in the help pane.

Were there any error messages in the UI, Output panel, or Developer Tools console?

Since the contents of the Help pane are generally loaded from an active R or Python session, the "current help pane URL" could be stored in the ephemeral storage added in #5372.
