This PR relocates the backward navigation action.

Previously, the “Back” option was displayed as an item inside the list. This structurally mixed navigation elements with functional content.

The return action is now integrated into the view title (header), aligning with standard navigation patterns and improving:

  • Clear separation between navigation and content
  • Cleaner visual hierarchy
  • Reduced noise inside the list
  • Better alignment with modern UI conventions

No navigation logic has been changed — only its visual and structural representation.

Relevant Issues

  • Structural inconsistency in list view
  • Navigation mixed with content elements

Changes Made

  • Removed “Back” option from list body
  • Integrated return action into the view title
  • Adjusted header styling
  • Ensured functional parity of navigation behavior

Thanks for the PR, but I believe the change would likely cause confusion with the majority of our users as we have had the back button in that specific spot for over 3 years.

Thanks for the PR, but I believe the change would likely cause confusion with the majority of our users as we have had the back button in that specific spot for over 3 years.

You're right. We could make the change progressively:

  • Show the option:
    • back-list-button but inform the user that a new functionality is available:
    • back-title-button and allow the user to enable it through Settings.

In the next updates, if the feedback is positive:

  • Make back-title-button the default behavior, while still allowing users to switch back to back-list-button.

If the feedback continues to be positive

  • Remove the back-list-button completely.

I don't think the added complexity and maintenance from an opt‑in + phase‑out path is necessary for something that is already working at this time. Given that, I'll be closing this PR and sticking with the current approach, but I appreciate the exploration.
