I really want to understand what this is doing from a request perspective. Sorry if this ends up being dumb.

Normal Laravel (and http) behavior is to send a GET request to the server for, say, /posts/123. The server sees this GET request, says, "oh I know that page, here you go" and serves it to you. But, this requires a page refresh, and probably some amount of screen flicker while the browser loads that page.

With Livewire Navigate, the JavaScript that Livewire serves is doing...which part of that for you (or the browser)? Would the server still see a request coming from your browser, or does it see it coming on behalf of livewire.js (for example)?

In terms of security, is anything different here or how do you protect routes using navigate? If you go over that later, no worries, I'll get there.
