The favorites bar carries the "Browse all" button and the sort control, so
switching the bar off in settings hid the way in to both. The command
palette now offers "Browse favorites" (or "Back to videos") and each sort
order, and opening the grid re-renders the bar so its header -- the way back
out -- is mounted even when settings say hidden.
Tests (scratchpad): a new palette test that starts with the bar switched
off, opens the grid through the palette, re-sorts through it, and returns to
the listing. It caught the second half of this: opening from the palette did
not re-render the bar, leaving no visible way out.
Also fixes the favorites playback test, which had been wedging headless
Chrome all session. It was reloading by navigating to the URL already
loaded; the first evaluate after that is answered by the outgoing execution
context and every one after it hangs forever. It now does its second visit
in a fresh tab -- localStorage is shared per origin, so it models "next day"
the same way -- and asserts what it had only been printing. It also runs
hermetically now (no favorites left over from another test, CDN icons and
fonts blocked) and no longer runs its whole body on import, which is what
made it hijack a debugging session earlier.

Layered progressive polish on the warm classic + brass theme:
- Card entrance animation on first mount (virtualizer-aware)
- Cursor-tracking brass spotlight border on cards
- Thumbnail skeleton shimmer until the poster paints
- Hover video preview after a short dwell (only when formats resolved)
- View Transition + blurred-poster ambient backdrop on player open
- Favorite heart pop + expanding ring on add
- ⌘K command palette (search, theme, density, reels, source/channel)
- Scroll-progress bar + back-to-top FAB
- Grid density toggle (comfortable/compact)
- Reels HUD: serif title, brass scrubber, muted-state pulse
All new motion respects prefers-reduced-motion; no JS/HTML structure
changes to the core grid/feed. New glue lives in frontend/js/enhance.js.
