[App History] Not resetting history on long press

The bug

I've been using the app for a while now, and when I long-press back to. the clock, it doesn't clear the history, which leads to random apps opening if that was the last app before long pressing away. I know that there is a specific time the user has to press to count as a long press, and works vice-versa, but I can't figure out how to clear the history at all via a long press. The apphist.json never clears the history when I do a long press, leading to unexpected apps opening when an app tries to go back to the clock (messages timeout, etc.)

IIrc it's meant to reset history when the clock app is loaded. I think the logic looks for if __FILE__ == ".bootcde". But I think that is not always the case anymore. So maybe it needs to check if the filename is what is currently set as the clock face app.

That does look like a likely culprit, yes. Is there a global var for clock name, or would it have to read settings.json and find the clock name there?

Maybe the fix for this issue, #3857, changed it so the app history logic is not exactly right anymore. But I am not sure.

I'm afraid this is likely the case.

Actually if you look at the code (or the README) it's clear long press will not reset history. That is yet to be implemented in a nice way. It was trickier than i anticipated.
