If you haven't put the script into the front and you aren't passing
the openCard message in your card handler, then there's no conflict.
And you're right that "start using" the utility stack does use it as a
library. For most purposes that's the same as using it as a
backscript, although there are subtle differences. Richard Gaskin has
the canonical article on the message path here:

...and I don't have a clue about the cryptic message. The home stack
is locked, since that's where the family jewels are, so its contents
will remain a mystery.
