A JMAP push subscription stays silent until the client echoes back a
verification code. When the code arrives with no tab open, the service
worker leaves it in the cache for the next tab to collect.
Both sides named that entry relatively, and a relative key is resolved
against the URL of whoever is asking. The worker lives at <base>/sw.js, so
it wrote under <base>/; a tab at /mail/inbox/abc looked under
/mail/inbox/. They agreed only when the open page happened to be the root,
which is why this survived: the case that works is the one people try
first.
The failure is quiet in the worst way. A subscription that never gets its
code back simply never delivers, which is indistinguishable from push not
working at all -- there is no error anywhere to notice.
Both sides now build the key from the mount: the worker from the BASE it
already derives from its own location, the page through withBase. Found
while adding BASE_PATH, where the two disagree at every route rather than
only at deep ones; left alone then because it was pre-existing and
unrelated to that change.
