It was sitting in a strip below the heading with a "Show" label and a "newest
first" hint — three lines of chrome for one control. The select now lives at the
right end of the card's own header bar (`margin-left:auto` inside the flex h2),
compact and case-normal so it reads as a control and does not grow the bar.
Label and hint are gone; the header text names the card, the values speak for
themselves, and screen readers keep the `aria-label`.
