+ * Id of the cross that closes the topmost closable surface, or null when there is nothing to
+ * close — which is exactly how the platform says "this is the desktop": the home page has no
+ * cross at all. That `null` is the reset-between-tests "clean" signal; no baseline snapshot and
+ * no exception list needed. Measured on a live stand:
+ *   desktop, 1 form  → form=0 formCount=1, no cross
+ *   desktop, 3 forms → form=5 formCount=3 openForms=[5,6,7], no cross
+ *   list open        → cross VW_page2headerTopLine_cmd_CloseButton
+ *
+ * The id must leak out for the caller to click — Escape is not enough: on a real stand it closed
+ * neither a modal nor even a plain list.
+ *
+ * Order matters, and each step was measured:
+ *   1. floating window (`ps<N>`) — a modal sits ON TOP of the form that opened it, so its cross
+ *      wins. The index grows per window (ps0 → ps1 → …): a literal `ps0` breaks on the second
+ *      modal of a session.
+ *   2. the form's own page cross — works whether or not the tab panel is switched on, which is
+ *      why it beats the tab cross. With the panel hidden it is the ONLY path.
+ *   3. the ACTIVE tab's cross — last resort. `select` marks the active tab (same signal as
+ *      dom/form-state.mjs); NOT `querySelector('.openedClose')` like closeModals does — that
+ *      grabs the first tab in the DOM and would close someone else's form.
+ * Anchored on ids rather than title="Закрыть", so a non-Russian locale keeps working.
