fix(web): drop back button from movie and series pages (#229)

The rail, browser back, and Esc already cover navigation — the back
button was a third way to do what two other things already do, and it
cost the page its first line.

- Remove #movie-back and #series-back buttons and their event listeners
- Focus lands on the title element (tabindex=-1) instead of the removed
  button on open
- TV releases back button is untouched
- Hero banner now meets the rail with zero top padding on movie/series
- Esc and parent-route behaviour unchanged
- Deep link fallback for TV releases uses #nav-library instead of the
  removed #series-back

   counts behind cyan show/hide toggles. Release name is a secondary
   truncated line, full string plus indexer/date/bytes on row expand. Every
   waived/rejected row carries a verdict chip naming the rule. Grab is its
-  own control per row; on a waived row it is "waive + grab" and writes the
-  per-title override (rule→override mapping in releases.ts — bookkeeping,
-  never policy; verdicts always come from the API). Esc steps back one
+  own control per row; where the rule that failed has an override it reads
+  "waive + grab" and writes the per-title override (rule→override mapping in
+  releases.ts — bookkeeping, never policy; verdicts always come from the
+  API). A rejected row offers it too — §9.3's one click exists precisely for
+  the rule the operator disagrees with, and a size rejection (#210) is only
+  ever rejected. What the click produces stays a waiver: the row re-reads as
+  a dashed WAIVED, never eligible. When ELIGIBLE is empty and something is
+  waivable, its "none" line carries the count, so the way out is not folded
+  inside a collapsed bucket. Esc steps back one
   layer: deck → search results → board.
 - Removal (§7.4, issue 104): REMOVE is a quiet control in the deck head,
   never a row affordance — a dense list is the wrong place for a delete.
