fix: replace long-press lock trigger with back_btn.isPressed() check

Long press detection on back_btn was unreliable — the release generated
a spurious CLICK that cancelled the sequence. Now the Enter click handler
checks back_btn.isPressed() directly: holding Back and clicking Enter 3×
within 3 seconds locks/unlocks the screen.
