An arrow fixed at the left edge, half-way up, and the same link in words at the foot of every page. It replaces the "back" alternatives content has carried on every followup and list page.

Where it goes: the nearest page below the current path that this visitor may open (from the same list that drives "Also worth asking"), taking the path apart one segment at a time, and / when none is a page. /melde-fra → /, /status/oppslag → /, /review/abc123 → /review, /kasserer/utlegg-sent → /kasserer. Nothing on the front door.

How it reads: "Tilbake til starten" / "Back to the start", otherwise the target's question quoted: "Tilbake til «Hva kom inn?»". Arrow: 2.6rem circle in the left margin, 70% opacity until hover/focus; 2.2rem and 55% under 43.75rem wide, so it never covers text.

Tested: unit tests for the target and label (all 101 tests pass), and run locally against tomtervel/questions — the arrow sits in the margin clear of the cards, and the label is right on /melde-fra, /status/oppslag, /received/trafikkfare, absent on /.

After release, portal-trainer stops generating "back" alternatives (already on its main); a content repo drops its own when it takes the release.

It replaces the "back" alternatives content has carried on every followup and list page. **Where it goes:** the nearest page below the current path that this visitor may open (from the same list that drives "Also worth asking"), taking the path apart one segment at a time, and `/` when none is a page. `/melde-fra` → `/`, `/status/oppslag` → `/`, `/review/abc123` → `/review`, `/kasserer/utlegg-sent` → `/kasserer`.

An arrow fixed at the left edge, half-way up the screen, and the same
link in words at the foot of the page. It goes one level down: the
nearest page below the current path that the visitor may open, found by
taking the path apart a segment at a time, and the front door when none
of those is a page (/status/oppslag -> /, /review/abc -> /review). The
front door itself has none. Labelled with where it goes: 'Tilbake til
starten', or the target page's question in quotation marks.

Content stops needing a 'back' alternative on every page, and a visitor
who went up a branch whose context did not apply is never stranded.
