Subtitle Stage: captions first, built for low-vision and near-blind viewers

Built for low-vision and near-blind viewers: for them the words are the point, so the caption line is the hero. The player's real WebVTT track is set in Archivo ExtraBold at 136% cue size on a measured near-black band just above the controls, and the CC chip is the biggest button on the bar. The caption band at 84% near-black keeps white caption text above 12:1 even over a pure white frame, the bar's smoke at 88% keeps glyphs and time above 7:1, and every button is 48px or larger. Captions off is shown by the chip's size and brightness, never by hue alone.
