The navigationLink Picker's INTERNAL destination list renders its rows in the focused
(dark-text) style while the push animates — black text over the dark backdrop until
focus settles (present under the old fade too; a SwiftUI-on-tvOS quirk we don't
control). Settings now uses its own primitives instead:
- TVSelectionRow: label + current value, pushes…
- TVSelectionList: a Settings-app-style option list (plain button rows + checkmark,
selecting pops back) — ordinary button chrome, no focused-style pre-rendering.
The stream-mode and compositor pickers are gone on tvOS; the Settings screen itself is
a plain scroll of rows + footer (no Form), matching the rest of the tv UI.

SwiftUI's inline TextField on tvOS is structurally wrong for television: it grows when
activated, shows a full-width editing surface behind the pill, and floats labels
off-center — none of it stylable into the Settings-app look. Per Apple's tvOS text
input guidance, real tvOS apps never edit inline: a field is a value ROW, and pressing
it raises the SYSTEM fullscreen keyboard.
- TVTextEntry (UIViewControllerRepresentable): a UITextField that becomesFirstResponder
on appear, presenting the standard tvOS fullscreen keyboard with the field's prompt;
done/dismiss commits the text. TVFieldRow is the Settings-style label+value lozenge.
- Add Host and PIN pairing on tvOS now use rows + keyboard covers exclusively (the
port row also fixes the off-center value text for good — it's a Text, not a field);
the port input validates 1...65535.
- No SwiftUI TextField remains in any tvOS code path.
Verified by screenshot: the dialog rows render exactly like the Settings app, and the
address row raises the system linear keyboard with prompt + done.
