Description

If I have an anchor that triggers smoothstate and I double click it, it loads the next page twice into the history. Thus when I click back I have to click twice instead of just once

Research direction
Investigate the click event handler in smoothState.js that triggers page transitions. The issue is that double clicking an anchor causes two transitions, pushing two history entries. Look for a way to debounce the click or disable the transition while one is in progress. Check the code for any existing flag that tracks whether a transition is ongoing. Consider adding a simple boolean check at the start of the handler.
