Built as: the band is `PageShell`'s toolbar slot (`PageToolbar`), above the one scroller; a console
whose toolbar lives inside its frame (the server log) makes that toolbar `sticky` with `fade-below`
instead. The band holds controls only: an intro paragraph scrolls with the content (in the band it
ate three lines of a short window). The fold is `useFilterFold` + `FilterFoldButton`: the same row
shown or hidden in place, never copied into a popover. The hidden `h1` is `PageShell`'s `title`; a
view with its own visible title (a channel, a Plex show, a playlist) renders it as `PageHeading`
and the hidden one steps aside, so a page has exactly one `h1` (a hand `<h1>` inside the shell is
refused by a contract test). A section's caption is `SectionLabel`, an `h2` (an `h3` in a dialog),
never a styled `div`. The first Tab stop is "Skip to content" (`SkipLink`), which focuses the
scroller's `<main>`. [WCAG 2.4.1, 1.3.1]

scrolling panel under its header fade by the scroller's own edge mask (`useScrollFade`), because what
they sit on is the backdrop, not a colour. The chip rows fold their overflow into "+N" rather than
scroll, so no row has clipped ends; the carousels fade theirs. The dialog edges come with C4's pinned
footer (S3f).
- **Viewport height:** `dvh`, never `vh` / `h-screen`: `100vh` is the viewport with a mobile browser's
toolbar retracted, so an `h-screen` shell runs its last rows under the toolbar (contract-tested).
