Drilling into a Library folder only ever swapped #library-groups's contents via fetch, never touching browser history - so back had nothing of the app's own to step through once you were a few folders deep, and fell straight through to exiting the app instead of going up a level. Push a history entry per drill-down and breadcrumb jump, and restore libraryTrail/re-fetch that level on popstate, so back now un-drills one folder at a time and only reaches the app's actual exit once you're back at the library root.
