A television raised the whole OSD and timebar on every playback start. The
chrome controller is born visible, and its auto-hide clock cannot arm until the
first frame lands, so the controls did not merely appear early: they appeared
exactly when the picture did, and then sat over the opening five seconds of
every movie and episode. The timeline is gated behind the first frame, so the
bar materialised on top of the video rather than over the loading spinner,
which is what makes it read as a pop-up rather than as chrome that was already
there.
The route now opens with no chrome on TV. Nothing is lost: the loading spinner
and buffering overlay are their own overlays, the screen focus node owns back,
and the first D-pad press raises the controls the way it already does after
every auto-hide. Pointer and touch platforms keep the chrome, where the
viewer's hand is on the surface and the title and back affordance belong over
the spinner.
Initial presentation now follows initial visibility. They were separate:
seeding only visibility would leave the route claiming its chrome was still
presented, so PlayerNavigationCoordinator would read back as "hide the chrome",
hide() would no-op against chrome that was never up, and the press would be
swallowed instead of leaving the player.
Controls that mount with the chrome already down now claim focus themselves.
Focus normally reaches them through the hide transition, and their own
autofocus cannot win it back because the screen node took it during the loading
phase. Left alone, the screen node kept primary focus and its self-heal raised
the entire OSD on the first D-pad press, which put the chrome straight back
over the picture and bypassed the transient seek and transport indicators.
Both player spinners now carry a label. They were bare progress indicators, so
a screen reader announced nothing at all while the picture was coming up, and
the TV Maestro flows had no way left to tell a loading player from a playing
one once the Pause button stopped appearing on its own.
The two TV flows are repaired to match. They waited on that button, and now
wait for the labelled spinner to clear, which cannot happen before the media is
opened. 05 additionally reaches Search by D-pad rather than a percentage
coordinate, because a tap flips InputModeTracker to pointer mode and collapses
the rail it is aiming at, and it gates on the play-next prompt's own Cancel
action: "Next Episode" is also the credits skip button, so the old assertion
could pass without the prompt ever opening.

Pressing pause or seeking while the player's on-screen controls were hidden raised
the entire OSD, covering the subtitles the viewer was rewinding to read. Transport
keys now answer with a transient indicator and leave the chrome down; Select,
D-pad Center and a centre tap remain the deliberate way to bring the controls
back.
Play/pause confirms with an icon-only translucent disc at the centre of the frame,
72px around a 44px glyph, which grows and fades in, holds half a second at rest,
then runs the same motion in reverse. Seeking shows the amount plus a single
chevron on the same line at the edge it travels toward, with no backdrop at all:
anything large enough to read as a surface is large enough to cover picture and
subtitles, so legibility comes from shadows instead. Only the chevron moves, and
it eases outward across most of its cycle and returns briefly, holding a visible
opacity floor rather than blinking out. Type is scaled per platform, since a
television is read from across the room. The existing text pill stays for genuine
notices - rate changes, chapter titles, zoom, errors - because an earlier centred
pill overlapped ASS \an8 subtitle placement, which is the readability complaint
this feedback exists to answer.
Every relative seek entry point now shares one coalescing primitive. The keyboard
shortcuts fell through to KeyboardShortcutsService and previously reported
nothing, and both they and the remote's chapter fallback rebased each press off
player.state.position, so a burst against a slow backend pinned every request near
one step while the indicator climbed to a total that was never committed. A
released key commits its pending target immediately and resets the acceleration
tier, including on live TV where seeks bypass the accumulator. A chapter seek with
nowhere to go, past the last chapter or already at the start, no longer announces a
jump it does not perform.
Rewind-on-resume follows the resolved intent rather than the current state, so a
directed pause on an already-paused video neither resumes nor rewinds. Indicators
carry their own liveRegion semantics nodes: their labels previously merged into the
full-screen "show playback controls" target, corrupting its accessible name, and
they keep announcing "Paused"/"Playing" and the seek amount from icon-only visuals.

Four regression flows, each run on a Pixel 7 and, where relevant, a real
Android TV box.
Discriminating — the baseline fails, HEAD passes:
`07_sheet_back_dismiss` pins both halves of the hosted-sheet fix on touch: the
barrier removes the rows behind it from the semantics tree, and one Back closes
only the sheet while Settings stays the current route, including the nested
per-library options page. It fails on c48cbf70, the commit before 8e1904dd.
`03_tv_library_focus` gains the same occlusion assertion for the TV sort sheet
and fails there too.
`08_track_choice_survives_pending_pass` picks a non-default audio and subtitle
track, lets playback outlive the automatic pass's 5s attempt and 25s deadline,
and asserts the choice is still selected. On a56b9a3d the audio reverts to the
container's default. Both new flows onboard from a cleared install: the TV
regressions in the same group leave "Force TV mode" enabled, and a remembered
track selection would pre-select the rows under test.
Coverage without a comparable baseline:
`09_language_picker_locales` asserts the four new endonyms, switches to Turkish,
reads root navigation labels from the generated locale, and restores English.
The locales do not exist before 7677d159/100d7729, so there is nothing to fail
against — this is forward coverage, not a reproduction.
`10_tv_settings_navigation` runs on real Android TV hardware, which no existing
flow covers: the rail layout a device reports on its own, the TV dialog path for
Manage Libraries, the Apple-only Atmos gate staying closed on Android, and the
D-pad-only route to the number spinner's accessibility labels, which a single
tap would hide. It passes on either side of the range and is verified against
both an empty server and one with a resume position, since rail order shifts
with that. It does not assert the 15b54e2e row density: that change is invisible
to a semantics-tree driver, and a pixel `height` assertion would only hold for
one DPR. It registers under a new `android-tv-device` group no workflow
dispatches.
No TV playback flow is included. Entering content on the TV Recommended view has
no stable anchor: the accessibility `focused` flag sits on the hero backdrop
rather than the rail card, and a resume position anywhere in the library pushes
"Recently Added" below the fold and out of the semantics tree entirely. Search
is not a way around it either — inputText does not reach the TV search field.
Covering TV playback needs a testID on the rail card, not a cleverer selector.
Also repairs three assertions that could never fail:
`03_tv_library_focus` gated the sort sheet closing on `notVisible: "Sort by"`,
but the header renders "Sort By" and Maestro selectors are case-sensitive
regexes, so the wait returned immediately and the next D-pad press landed in the
sheet's close animation.
`open_codec_sample` matched a card's watch state as `watched|unwatched` only. A
codec sample keeps a resume position once any earlier flow has played it, so the
row announces "N percent watched" and the subflow stopped finding it on a
fixture container that outlives one suite.
`06_playback_recovery` tapped "Zulu Zone" out of the Recently Added rail, but
every seeded alphabet title shares one dateadded, so which of them the rail
returns is a tie-break. The flow only needs some playable movie.
