Accessibility
- The three actions are rendered as buttons with visible text labels; the icons accompany the labels.
- The buttons have no click handlers in this component, so provide behavior by modifying the component or replacing the buttons.
- The component does not add dialog semantics, focus management, or keyboard dismissal. Add these if presenting it as a modal pause menu.
