UI consistency review of the web changes (NavigationHistoryControls.tsx, AppSidebarLayout.tsx, CommandPalette.tsx, navigation-history stores). Two consistency findings on the new titlebar controls; the Command Palette items follow the existing disabled/shortcutCommand item contract and the store/hook changes are presentation-neutral.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win
Add shared history controls to the iOS settings header.
The Android-only branch adds the history pair. The iOS branch still exposes only “Close settings” through navigation.goBack(). It has no Forward control. This breaks the shared-history requirement for settings. Use useMobileNavigationHistory() and createNativeNavigationHistoryItems(...) in the iOS header items. Retain the close action only if it has separate required behavior.

One finding: the reused stage-backdrop control class gives the new Back/Forward buttons a hover treatment even when they are aria-disabled. Everything else in the web scope looks consistent — the titlebar geometry override is now a shared constant (WORKSPACE_TITLEBAR_CONTROL_CLASS), the disabled tone (opacity-64) matches Button's disabled: treatment and the palette's disabled row, and the inset math in --workspace-titlebar-content-left now matches the rendered three-control cluster.

One finding on the stage-backdrop control class that was reworked in this PR: the hover branch is stacked in the wrong order and can never match. Everything else from the earlier rounds (shared WORKSPACE_TITLEBAR_CONTROL_CLASS, aria-disabled:cursor-not-allowed, cluster gap / titlebar inset math, command-palette action ordering) now looks consistent with the existing primitives and conventions.

Touches core client navigation on web and mobile, including replacing native back with a custom history cursor. Incorrect stack/key handling could strand users or skip screens.
Overview
Adds Back and Forward through visited app locations on web and mobile, instead of relying only on the native stack.
Web tracks TanStack Router history and puts controls next to the sidebar toggle. Command palette actions and default shortcuts
