Three passes over what landed yesterday.
The hidden-count line stops standing in the list. With devices still
listed the footer already names ⇧H on every row, so the line was a row
of the box spent saying it twice; it stays only for a list hiding has
emptied, where there is no footer atom to read it off and "no
companion devices detected" would be a lie about a machine with a
radio plugged into it.
Hiding now leaves the highlight where the row was - the next device
down, or the one above at the end, never rolling round to the top - so
a run of adapters clears with a run of presses instead of the cursor
jumping back to the remembered default after each one.
And Esc says bye here rather than quit: the splash is the door, and
the reader leaving it has not started anything to quit out of.
One consequence, on the console: the splash border is 47 cells and the
sentence now sheds the hide key too when it must. Between the two
shortcuts the survivor is the way back - ⇧H only appears once
something is hidden, which is exactly when a reader needs to be told
how to undo it, and by then they have found h.
