Description

It would be great to be able to swipe back from any place on the screen, and not just from the left edge. It would make one-handed usage so much easier.

The official Mastodon iOS client implements it, and it's an option (on by default) in Mammoth as well.

Research direction

No files or tests are named. Start by tracing the existing left-edge back gesture in the SwiftUI iOS client and identify how navigation is handled across screens. Done means a back swipe can begin anywhere on the screen while preserving expected navigation behavior.
