Bohan Jiang ceba14a227 fix(issues): MUL-5362 return to the source list after deleting an issue (#5997)
* fix(issues): return to the source list after deleting an issue

Deleting an issue from its detail page always pushed the workspace
Issues list, so opening an issue from My Issues (or a project list,
search, a pin, an agent panel) and deleting it dropped the user's
navigation context — GH #5995.

Go back instead. `useBackOrReplace` steps back when the platform
reports in-app history and replaces with a fallback path when there
is none, so a shared link opened cold or a new tab never steps off
the app. Web answers via the Navigation API, falling back to counting
its own pushes; desktop reads the active tab's virtual history.

`replace`, not `push`: the deleted issue's URL must not stay in
history for the back button to land on a 404.

The not-found "Back to Issues" button loses the same context, so it
moves to the same helper and its label becomes a plain "Back".

* fix(web): track history position, not push count, for canGoBack

The Navigation API fallback only ever counted pushes, so `pushes > 0`
did not mean the current entry still had an in-app page behind it.
Cold-open an issue, click Issues, press the browser's Back button, then
delete: the tracker still claimed history and `back()` would step off
Multica — the exact case the fallback exists to prevent.

Count depth instead: a push adds one, any traversal takes one away
(clamped at zero). Reaching the document's first entry requires
traversing back at least as many times as we pushed, so a positive
depth can never be claimed while sitting on it. A browser Forward is
now conservative — it reports no history where a step back would have
been fine — which costs a fallback navigation rather than an exit.

Also corrects the useBackOrReplace contract comment: stepping back
leaves the dead URL in forward history, so the guarantee is that it
never lands on the back stack, not that it leaves history entirely.

* fix(web): answer canGoBack from the browser alone, never from push counts

Review found the counter still lied, one level deeper: it counted
`router.push` calls, and a call is not a committed history entry. Next
drops a push to `replaceState` when the canonical URL is unchanged
(app-router.js, the `pendingPush && href !== canonicalUrl` branch), so
clicking a self-link — the breadcrumb on an issue detail page, a pin to
the issue you are on — incremented depth with no entry behind it, and a
delete from there could still step off the app.

Fixing the count needs per-entry markers, which means depending on both
React effect ordering (our provider's effect runs before app-router's
history commit) and Next's own preserveCustomHistoryState behaviour.
Two rounds of review have now found holes in hand-rolled history
tracking; a third layer of it is not the way to buy this guarantee.

So stop deriving. `canGoBack` is the Navigation API's answer or `false`.
Browsers without it take the fallback path, which is exactly what they
did before any of this existed — nobody regresses, and the "wrong true
walks the user out of the app" failure is now unreachable by
construction.

Drops the tracker, the popstate wiring and the push wrapper: the
`multica:navigate` bridge returns to its original shape.
