" The original binds two named models (cities>, products>) inside the cards;
" abap2UI5 keeps one default model, so those bind directly ({cities>/cities}
" -> {/CITIES}, {products>/productItems} -> {/PRODUCTITEMS}). The switches /
" toggle / column-change / tile / card presses are controller handlers in
" the original. Corrected 2026-08-21: they are NOT client toasts - the three
" Switches carry a two-way bound state and nothing else, the Reveal Grid
" ToggleButton is undecorated, and columnsChange round-trips into on_event.
" The sidecar was corrected on 2026-08-05 and this half was missed.
