Issue number: resolves #30448
What is the current behavior?
When using ion-tabs with routes that share a common prefix (e.g.,
/home,/home2,/home3), navigating to/home2incorrectly highlights the/hometab. This occurs because the tab matching logic usespathname.startsWith(href), which causes/home2to match/homesince/home2starts with/home.What is the new behavior?
Tab selection now uses path segment matching instead of simple prefix matching. A tab's href will only match if the pathname is an exact match OR starts with the href followed by a / (for nested routes). This ensures /home2 no longer incorrectly matches /home, while still allowing /home/details to correctly match the /home tab.
Does this introduce a breaking change?
