Description
It looks like there are some cases when the Android system back button does not work well:
- open the app (with a project loaded)
- tap Layers
- tap Android back button - it will not close the Layers page (only the top-left button works)
But next time the Layers page gets opened, the system back button works fine.
A similar issue is with the back button after tapping Add (to start recording), and then tapping the back button - it wants to close the app rather than jump out of the recording mode. The system back button should behave as if the top-left back button was used.

Research direction
Reproduce the Layers and Add/recording flows on Android, comparing the system back button with the top-left back button. Trace the entry points that handle those navigation states and make the system back action match the top-left action in both cases; verify both scenarios after reopening the pages.
