What goes wrong
The Click track group in the footer is labelled with an "Alpha" badge. It has been through several releases, it is tested (tests/e2e/click-track.spec.mjs), and nothing about it behaves like an alpha any more.
The badge is not free. It is the loudest thing in that corner of the footer, coloured in the accent, next to a label that is deliberately quiet. It tells a user the feature might not work, which discourages them from the metronome for no reason that still holds.
Who it affects
Anyone deciding whether to trust the click track. A warning that has stopped being true is worse than no warning, because it also teaches people to ignore the next one.
What a fix has to handle
Remove it properly rather than hide it: the markup, the .alpha-badge CSS rule, which has no other user, and the click.alpha key in all ten language tables. A dead key is one more string for the next translation pass to carry.
