always return to sensible view after save+discussion

Almost certainly we don't have any tests for this sort of thing, so I added a tag for that.

if I go to, say, /Menu?view=content, then presumably we want to set the "home view" as content. Same for /Menu?view=titled

The above url is equivalent to /Menu?view=changes. In fact, I would like to make the canonical url /Menu?changes.

So the question becomes, how do we know when the prescribed view should not be treated as a home_view. You could treat it as something about the nature of the view. As in, some views (open, content, titled) are candidates for the view tab, others (changes, editor, etc) aren't.

Or, we could say that links in this context should just be explicit about the home view. so you could do /card/changes/Menu?home_view=open, or perhaps ?home_view=_auto or something. That would leave open the possibility of having any view as the home_view.

I think the point is that we're overloading the word "View" a bit on that tab. Functionally it currently means the "home_view", which can be any view. But the standard user expectation is probably that you're seeing, at a minimum, the card content.

I don't think we're ready to work on this until we know what approach we're taking. It's currently confusing, but not exactly buggy, because the behavior is exactly what is intended under the "home view" model.

I get the idea of the Tests tag, but that's going to be noise on wagn.org. better done in code.

maybe I'm wrong about that. let's leave it for now and discuss once we figure out the design issue.
