The StopTheMadness rules are indiscriminate, which is the point, but they
catch the link on the way back out as well: in the browser they are
installed in, "Open on <platform>" redirects straight back here. The one
button meant to reach the app is the one that cannot.
Handing the address to a different browser is the way past it, and the only
way to do that from a page is that browser's own URL scheme. `/` gets a
picker for which one; the choice lives in that browser's localStorage,
because which browsers are installed is a fact about the device and the
phone's answer is not the Mac's.
The scheme table is its own module so a test can pin it -- every browser
spells it differently, and Edge differs between macOS and iOS. Firefox has
no scheme on macOS, so it is only offered on iOS, and an unknown or
schemeless choice keeps the plain link rather than producing a dead one.
The markup still carries the plain https address and the script swaps it
afterwards, so nothing changes without JavaScript. Once a browser is
chosen the button says which, since a scheme for a browser that is not
installed opens nothing and the tap would otherwise be silent.
