Summary by cubic

Fixes startup so history results show when that option is enabled, even if the home page is disabled. Users now see their recent history on launch as expected.

Summary of changes

• Changed: In OnLoaded, trigger initial QueryResults when ShowHomePage OR ShowHistoryResultsForHomePage is true and the query is empty.
• Added: Support showing history results on startup when only history-for-home-page is enabled.
• Removed: Nothing; no logic paths or settings were removed.
• Memory impact: None; a single conditional check changed.
• Security risks: None; UI initialization only.
• Tests: No new unit tests added.

Release Note
History results now appear on startup when the “show history on home page” option is enabled, even if the home page is turned off.

Walkthrough

The homepage query-results condition now also checks ShowHistoryResultsForHomePage. Empty homepage queries can therefore load history results when that setting is enabled.
