a11y.22, WCAG 1.4.1: `.track-row.active` was a background tint and a
text colour, and the row markup carried no aria-current either — so a
colour-blind user could not find the playing row and AT had no signal
at all. The queue panel had aria-current from Phase 1 and the same
colour-only visual.

A triangle drawn in each row's own left padding by `::before`. It is a
shape that is present or absent, and it costs no layout: track-list's
grid columns are computed from the host width, so a marker in the flow
would move every cell on the playing row and nothing else.

Both directions are asserted in both tiers. A marker that renders on
every row satisfies "the playing row has one" for free, which is this
plan's oldest rule.

And one thing the reproduction found: a track started from the *list*
leaves the queue's currentIndex at -1, so the panel has no current row
in that flow at all. Pre-existing, and the reason this looked broken
the first time it was checked in the running app.
