memoir: headers for short and detailed tables of contents

Question

The following memoir documentclass source produces two tables of contents -- a short one and a detailed one. (The difference is that only the latter includes subsections.)

Question: How do I get the name of each of those (the values of \shortcontentsname and \longcontentsname, respectively), to appear in the headers of its pages after its first? E.g., I want to see

iv                                                   Detailed Contents

and

Detailed Contents                                                   v

for the left-hand page iv and the right-hand page v, respectively.

As the source shows, I tried

\createplainmark{shorttableofcontents}{both}{\shortcontentsname}
\createplainmark{longtableofcontents}{both}{\longcontentsname}  

within \makepsmarks{main}, but that produces headers with just the page numbers. I also tried, instead

\createplainmark{shortttoc}{both}{\shortcontentsname}
\createplainmark{longtoc}{both}{\longcontentsname} 

and

\createplainmark{toc::shorttoc}{both}{\shortcontentsname}
\createplainmark{toc::longtoc}{both}{\longcontentsname}   

but with the same results.

Here's what I get now for pages in the detailed table of contents:

References:

• This question is a follow-up to https://tex.stackexchange.com/a/512636/13492 (which is working as desired for other frontmatter and mainmatter.
• The code for the two tables of contents comes in part from https://tex.stackexchange.com/a/346433/13492. Thsy method, unfortunately, does not preserve the pagestyle for pages after chapter page in the Short Contents and the Long Contents. It does, however, produce the wanted entries of each of the two TOCs in, and only in, the other; and it makes the links on each of those entries point to the top of the corresponding TOC page.

Partial solution:

Using the etoc package allows a short and a long table of contents that do preserve the page style and chapter style -- without, however, seeming to allow each of the two TOCs to have an entry only for the other TOC.

See: memoir: Exclude entry of other TOC from each of two TOCs,

Answer 1

Here is a better solution. This works with and without biblatex and hyperref. Special thanks to Ulrike Fischer for the trick in https://tex.stackexchange.com/a/513634/3929 which forms the basis for this solution.

Also added a slight change for memoir such that the anchor for the toc header now is above the header and not below. This will be included in the next memoir release.

I did not include your arguments for the long and short toc, I trust you can make those adjustments yourself.
