+				    screen, which is exactly where the console's pointer work landed.
+				    Two rules that used to be one, because `opacity-0` alone got BOTH of them wrong:
+				    1. Invisible must also mean UNCLICKABLE. An `opacity-0` element paints nothing and
+				       still hit-tests, so the top-right corner of every poster was a live hide button
+				       nobody could see — a stray click there dropped that title from every play
+				       surface with no visible cause. Opacity and `pointer-events` move together now.
+				    2. The reveal cannot rest on hover ALONE. `:hover` never fires on a touch screen,
+				       so the control was unreachable there by construction and discoverable only by
+				       blind-clicking the corner. `pointer-coarse` shows it outright wherever the
+				       device has no hover to give. Keyboard reach is unaffected: `pointer-events:
+				       none` does not block focus, so tabbing in still trips `focus-within`. */}
