Subject: [PATCH] fix(player): render help hint via content prop to avoid
 escaping
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

The babel-preset-solid JSX transform HTML-escapes static string
children (< > → &lt; &gt;), which opentui renders verbatim — so the
"< > seek" hint displayed its entities. Pass the string as the
content prop instead, which bypasses the transform.
