Holding the capacitive pad lights the frontlight, and every board with a backlight cleared longPress to make room for it. singlePress was already INPUT_BROKER_NONE, so the pad emitted no input event at all. The T-Echo's user button is press-to-page-forward and hold-to-select, so nothing on the device produced INPUT_BROKER_BACK. Bind back to a tap: press-and-hold still drives the backlight, and OneButton only fires a click when the press stays under longPressTime, so lighting the screen does not also navigate. Applies to the T-Echo and T-Echo Plus, the two boards with both a touch pad and a backlight. T-Impulse Plus has no backlight and keeps back on hold.

Suppress navigation for a wake-only tap.
ButtonThread::runOnce() unconditionally dispatches _singlePress, which this configuration sets to INPUT_BROKER_BACK. A tap with the backlight off therefore wakes the screen and navigates back. Suppress INPUT_BROKER_BACK for taps that start with the backlight off, and add a regression check.

Fixes #11610
The capacitive pad on the T-Echo does nothing under BaseUI. Two separate causes:
Backlight — already fixed by #11588, which landed after 2.8.0.
InputBrokerwas reading the storedscreen_brightnesslevel as "currently lit", and the 153 default meant press-and-hold never drove the rail.graphics::backlightIsLit()now reports the driven state, so holding the pad lights the frontlight again. Nothing to do here.Back — this PR.
touchConfig.singlePresswasINPUT_BROKER_NONE, andlongPresswas cleared toINPUT_BROKER_NONEon any board with a backlight to keep a hold from also navigating. That left the pad emitting no input event at all. The T-Echo's user button is press-to-page-forward and hold-to-select, so nothing on the device producedINPUT_BROKER_BACK.A tap now emits
INPUT_BROKER_BACK: pages back on the home frameset, and cancels out of menus, freetext and the games module. Press-and-hold is unchanged — OneButton firesattachClickonly when the press stays underlongPressTime, so lighting the screen does not also navigate. A tap while the screen is off still just wakes it;InputBroker::handleInputEventdrops the event when the screen was off.Scope: the two boards with both a touch pad and a backlight, T-Echo and T-Echo Plus, share this path and stay identical to each other. T-Impulse Plus has a touch pad and no backlight, so it keeps back on hold and is unchanged.
