-    Filter to customize course about page URLs.
-
-    This filter demonstrates how to intercept and modify course about page URLs,
-    redirecting them to external sites or custom implementations.
-
-    Filter Hook Point:
-    This filter hooks into the course about page URL rendering process.
-    Register it for the filter: org.openedx.learning.course.about.render.started.v1
-
-    Registration Example (in settings/common.py)::
-
-        def plugin_settings(settings):
-            settings.OPEN_EDX_FILTERS_CONFIG = {
-                "org.openedx.learning.course.about.render.started.v1": {

-    - PipelineStep: https://docs.openedx.org/projects/openedx-filters/en/latest/reference/filters-tooling.html#openedx_filters.filters.PipelineStep
-
-    Real-World Use Cases:
-    - Redirect to marketing site course pages
-    - Implement custom course discovery interfaces
-    - Add tracking parameters to URLs
-    - Route different course types to different platforms
-    - Implement A/B testing for course pages
+    Customize each courseRun within a Learner Dashboard's /init API response to include the CourseArchiveStatus.

-        Modify the course about page URL.
-
-        This method intercepts course about page URL generation and can modify
-        the destination URL based on business logic.
+        Insert `isArchivedByLearner` into one serialized courseRun for the Learner Home /init response.
 
         Args:
-            url (str): The original course about page URL
-            org (str): The organization/institution identifier
-            **kwargs: Additional context data from the platform
+            serialized_courserun (dict): One courseRun from the serializer. Reads
+                `courseId` (a course key string, e.g. "course-v1:edX+DemoX+Demo_Course");
+                all other fields are passed through unchanged.
 
         Returns:
-            dict: Dictionary with same parameter names as input
-                - url (str): Modified or original URL
-                - org (str): Organization identifier (usually unchanged)
-
-        Raises:
-            FilterException: If processing should be halted
-
-        Filter Requirements:
-        - Must return dictionary with keys matching input parameters
-        - Return None to skip this filter (let other filters run)
-        - Raise FilterException to halt pipeline execution
-        - Handle all input scenarios gracefully
-
-        URL Pattern Matching:
-        This implementation looks for Open edX course keys in the format:
-        course-v1:ORG+COURSE+RUN (e.g., course-v1:edX+DemoX+Demo_Course)
-
-        Documentation:
-        - run_filter method: https://docs.openedx.org/projects/openedx-filters/en/latest/reference/filters-tooling.html#openedx_filters.filters.PipelineStep.run_filter
+            dict: ``{"serialized_courserun": <updated dict>}``. The updated dict has the
+                same keys as the input plus `isArchivedByLearner` (bool) -- True iff a
+                CourseArchiveStatus row exists for the current request user and this
+                courseId with `is_archived=True`; False otherwise (including when no row
+                exists).
+
+        The current user is read from the active request via `crum`, so this filter only
+        runs meaningfully inside a request cycle. Note that `isArchivedByLearner` is
+        distinct from `isArchived`, which the platform sets based on whether the course
+        run itself has ended.

 **Slot Props**: Each slot provides specific data. For CourseListSlot, see the [slot documentation](https://github.com/openedx/frontend-app-learner-dashboard/tree/master/src/plugin-slots/CourseListSlot#plugin-props).
 
-#### 2. Backend API Integration
+#### 2. Backend Data via the Filter Pipeline
 
-```jsx
-useEffect(() => {
-  const fetchArchivedCourses = async () => {
-    const client = getAuthenticatedHttpClient();
-    const lmsBaseUrl = getConfig().LMS_BASE_URL;
-
-    const response = await client.get(
-      `${lmsBaseUrl}/sample-plugin/api/v1/course-archive-status/`,

-    const archivedCourseIds = new Set(
-      response.data.results.map((item) => item.course_id)
-    );
-    setArchivedCourses(archivedCourseIds);
-  };
+Rather than firing an extra GET to `course-archive-status/` on every dashboard
+load, the initial archive state is read directly off the slot props. The backend
+plugin uses an Open edX filter (see [`pipeline.py`](../backend-plugin-sample/src/openedx_plugin_sample/pipeline.py))
+to inject `isArchivedByLearner` into each courseRun in the Learner Home `/init`
+API response, so it arrives alongside the rest of the course data:
 
-  fetchArchivedCourses();
-}, []);
+```jsx
+const [archivedCourses, setArchivedCourses] = useState(() => {
+  const initial = new Set();
+  (courseListData?.visibleList || []).forEach((courseData) => {
+    if (courseData.courseRun?.isArchivedByLearner) {
+      initial.add(courseData.courseRun.courseId);
+    }
+  });
+  return initial;
+});
 ```
 
+**Why this pattern**: One fewer round-trip per dashboard load, and the archive
+state is consistent with the rest of the course data from the same response.
+The REST API is still used for writes (archive/unarchive) — see the toggle
+handler below.
+
 **Key Patterns:**
-- **Authentication**: `getAuthenticatedHttpClient()` handles Open edX auth
+- **Filter-injected data**: Read `courseRun.isArchivedByLearner` straight from slot props
+- **Authentication** (for writes): `getAuthenticatedHttpClient()` handles Open edX auth
 - **Configuration**: `getConfig().LMS_BASE_URL` gets platform URLs
-- **Error Handling**: Try/catch blocks for API failures
 
 #### 3. Open edX UI Components
