Cancel hints and launching label were added to gamepage.json but the LaunchOverlay reads them via the default namespace, so they were dead keys. Move them to translation.json to match the namespace used.
The map was an identity function over Runner values, so every usage collapses to a direct g.runner comparison. Tighten StoreKey to `Runner | 'all'` and use g.runner directly.
Button indices were duplicated across index.tsx (BTN_BACK, BTN_L1, etc.) and UpdateNotice (DISMISS_BUTTON_INDEX === 1). Move them to controller.ts so both read from the same source.
LaunchOverlay and UpdateNotice both rendered the same prefix/kbd/suffix hint with identical gamepadConnected-to-Esc fallback. Move it into a tiny BackHint component so the shape is declared once.
consoleChip and consoleQuitButton both had the same :disabled rule (cursor + opacity). Extract it into a %consoleButtonDisabled placeholder.
The footer wraps a single child (ControllerHints), so flex-direction, align-items, gap and text-align were all no-ops. Keep only the centering it actually needs.
justify-content: center on the flex container already centers the single title child; text-align was a no-op.
The background's blur(3px)/saturate(0.6) stacked with the overlay's backdrop-filter: blur(10px) over a 70% opaque fill. Keep just the opacity fade on the background and let the overlay blur the rest.
The toggle has nothing to do with the system tray. Extract it into its own StartInConsoleMode component and mount it directly in the General settings section.
L1/R1 already cycle the store filter; clicking the analog sticks to do the same thing is easy to trigger by accident while navigating.
The i18next parser only scans calls on a plain \`t\` identifier and doesn't follow the renamed \`tGame\` from a second useTranslation hook, so every run was moving console.cancel.* and console.launching back into gamepage.json. Use a single \`t\` with explicit \`gamepage:\` namespace prefixes for status keys, matching the getStatusLabel convention used elsewhere in the codebase.
