Subject: [PATCH] [Bug] <handleAppLink ignores shouldHaltWebNavigation for
 same-domain app links after first trigger> #7097

I found the handler and implemented the fix: same-domain navigations now return shouldHaltWebNavigation when an app link is launched.
Updated DuckDuckGoAppLinksHandler.handleAppLink to consistently respect shouldHaltWebNavigation on subsequent same-domain app links, while preserving alwaysTriggerList behavior.
