-     * C32. BACK FROM AN OPENED RECORD RETURNS TO THE LIST, IT DOES NOT MAKE ONE.
-     *
-     * The gesture this is for: a list tab, a record opened from it into a NEW
-     * tab, and Backspace in that record. With nothing left in the record tab's
-     * own history, step (3) of `navigateBack` walks the taxonomy up and REWRITES
-     * the record tab into its parent — so the tile ends up showing the list
-     * twice, once in the tab you started from and once in the tab you just left.
-     * The user's model is a browser's: you came from the list, the list is still
-     * open, so going back means closing this and being on the list again.
-     *
-     * So: when the active tab is an ENTITY — its props carry an `id`, the same
-     * test `swapToPage` uses for "the caller asked for a specific entity" — look
-     * for an open tab of the SAME section that is NOT one. That is the list or
-     * landing page the record belongs to. Close the record and activate it.
-     *
-     * NEAREST TO THE LEFT FIRST. New tabs are appended at the end, so the tab a
-     * record was opened from sits to its left; when several lists of the section
-     * are open, the nearest one on that side is the one it most plausibly came
-     * from. The right side is searched only after the left has nothing.
-     *
-     * DECLINES, and leaves step (3) to walk up in place, whenever there is no
-     * such tab: a record that is the tile's only tab, or one whose section has no
-     * list open. That keeps the one guarantee the whole rule exists for — Back
-     * never leaves two copies of a list — without ever closing a record into a
-     * tile that has nothing of its own to show.
-     *
-     * Matching is by SECTION (`topNavFor`) and not by kind, because the list a
-     * record was opened from is often not the record's taxonomy parent: a root
-     * landing page that renders the section, or a list that a flattened taxonomy
-     * files beside the record rather than above it.
-     *
-     * @returns {boolean} whether it closed a tab
+     * C32 / C34 / C35. BACK FROM A RECORD RETURNS TO THE LIST; IT DOES NOT MAKE ONE.
+     *
+     * The gesture this is for: a list, a record opened from it into a new tab,
+     * then Backspace or the list's crumb in that record. Rewriting the record
+     * into its parent would leave the list open twice. The user's model is a
+     * browser's: the list is still open, so going back closes the record and
+     * shows the list again. This function is the ONLY place that rule lives.
+     *
+     * Applies when `backToOpenList` is on and the scope's active tab is a RECORD
+     * (its props carry an `id`). The list is an open tab that is not a record
+     * and belongs to the same SECTION (`topNavFor`), matched by section and not
+     * by kind because a record's list is often not its taxonomy parent: a root
+     * landing that renders the section, or a list filed beside the record.
+     *
+     * Where it looks, in order:
+     *   - the scope's own tabs, nearest to the LEFT first (new tabs are appended,
+     *     so the tab a record came from sits to its left), then to the right;
+     *   - for a WINDOW only, then any tile of the window's desktop, primary tile
+     *     first, activating a list tab there. Closing a window's last tab closes
+     *     the window, which discards it; a plain close never docks back.
+     *
+     * Declines, leaving the caller to navigate in place, when there is no such
+     * list, so Back never closes a record into a tile with nothing to show.
+     *
+     * @returns {boolean} whether it closed the record
