The action row's track status was a button that opened a pre-play
chooser, but on TV the hero describes whichever episode the rail has
focused, and focusing the row hands the hero back to the show, so there
was never a per-episode target for the control to act on. It also sat
inline with the buttons in muted grey, reading as a sixth, low-contrast
action.
The status is now plain text at the row's far end, right-aligned to the
hero's text column, in the hero's own ink, off the focus path. The
chooser sheet, the per-screen choice, and the Play pass-through go with
it, along with the overlay-host and track-tile changes that only served
the chooser.
