 ### Unreleased
 
+- **HTML report: status and tag filter persistence** — the active status filter (All, Passed, Failed, Skipped, Flaky) and tag filter in the Test Cases tab are now persisted across page reloads and reopens using `localStorage` (`sb-status-filter` and `sb-tag-filter`). Storage reads and writes are safely guarded against restricted environments (private browsing, disabled storage, quota limits); if a previously stored tag is not present in the current report, it is gracefully ignored without restricting rows, and restoring filters preserves the default Dashboard tab view. (#215)
+
 - **HTML report: "Copy failure details" button** — failed tests with an error now have a button in the expanded detail row (and on the Failures tab) that copies the test id, error message and stack trace to the clipboard, with brief "Copied" feedback. Falls back to `execCommand('copy')` when `navigator.clipboard` is unavailable (e.g. some `file://` setups). (#216)
 
 - **Fix: `@PreCondition` session restore on a fresh browser** — the cached cookies and localStorage were silently dropped when the next test started on `about:blank`, so only the first test per thread was logged in. Restore now navigates to the origin the session was captured on first.
