Research direction

Start by reproducing the issue in mpv v0.40.0: press gp to browse the playlist and confirm that items cannot be removed. Define the completed behavior as allowing playlist items to be removed, rearranged, and added; the issue names no source files or tests, so locating the relevant entry points will require broader project research.
