bump VERSION to 0.5.0

Two fragility points, rebuilt at the root:

Playback: one resident mpv daemon (--idle --keep-open) with a persistent
IPC connection and observe_property state instead of spawn-per-episode and
connect-per-poll. Play/pause/seek are sub-ms commands; time-pos pushes at
~20Hz; external pauses arrive as events. Boot session restore preloads the
episode paused (loadfile + paused time-pos seek, since mpv defers --start
stream work until playback) so first Play is a ~400ms unpause instead of a
cold 4.3s open+seek. Load ops are mutex-serialized so a raced preload
cannot clobber an in-flight play.

Data throttling: mpv demuxer cache capped (cache-secs=90, max-bytes=40MiB)
so a paused preload no longer races to its 150MiB default (measured
45.7MB/12s); decoder paced at 4x realtime instead of 84x so playback start
isn't starved by the visualizer ripping the whole episode.

Visualization: replaced the paced-ring reader (AudioStreamReader) with a
position-indexed PCM cache (audio-pcm-cache). ffmpeg fills a cache indexed
by absolute playback time; reads at the player position are always exact.
Pause freezes the render loop, resume re-arms it — no coverage guessing,
no clamped-buffer freeze (the pause->broken-waveform->freeze bug). Seeks
and speed changes need no pipeline restarts; uncovered reads return empty
and the last frame holds.

Cover art: persistent per-URL disk cache under XDG cache dir; play() no
longer awaits a curl subprocess (up to 8s). Cache hit = one stat; misses
apply late via mpv video-add.

Test suite: 161 pass. New tests pin the position-index contract (sample-
exact window reads, hold-on-uncovered, pause-keeps-cache, seek segments),
the daemon contract (play/pause/resume/seek/stop, preload fast path,
EOF->replay), and cover cache/single-flight/404.

-1. **Never add a top-level `preload` to `bunfig.toml`.**
-   A compiled PodTui binary's embedded runtime reads the *launching process's*
-   CWD `bunfig.toml`, and a `preload` entry points at a module the standalone
-   can't resolve (`@opentui/solid/preload`) → the binary dies at startup with
-   `preload not found`. This is why `bunfig.toml` has **no** top-level
-   `preload`; dev-mode preloading happens via explicit `--preload` flags in
-   `package.json`. The `[test]` section *does* keep a preload — that only
-   affects `bun test`.
+1. **The compiled binary must keep bunfig autoload disabled.**
+   `build.ts` compiles the standalone with `autoloadBunfig: false`, so its
+   embedded runtime *never* reads the launching CWD's `bunfig.toml`. Without
+   that flag, a top-level `preload` in the CWD bunfig (common in Bun project
+   dirs) resolves against the CWD rather than the binary and kills startup
+   with `preload not found`. Don't remove the flag. Preloads for dev/test
+   belong in the explicit `--preload` flags in `package.json` and the
+   `[test]` section of `bunfig.toml` — not as a top-level entry.
 
-2. **Smoke-test the compiled binary from a bunfig-free dir.**
-   Because of (1), `./dist/podtui --version` run from the repo root launched

-   before booting. Do the same when testing a release build locally.

+- **Nix / cross-distro** users build from source (or a Nix flake can be added
+  later).
+

+**Fonts** — PodTui prepends Nerd Font glyphs to non-episode/show list rows (tabs, Discover categories, Settings sections, the Feed and per-show "Fetch More" rows). Icons are hidden automatically when your terminal font is not Nerd Font capable (no tofu, no layout gaps); detection is heuristic (terminal type), so force it with `PODTUI_NERD_FONTS=1` or `=0` if it guesses wrong. A Nerd Font-patched font (e.g. JetBrainsMono Nerd Font) is recommended.
 
-Tag a release (e.g. `v0.1.0`); CI builds and uploads the per-platform tarballs
-to your GitHub Release automatically:
+## Troubleshooting
 
-```bash
-make dist        # build the standalone binary + tarball for THIS platform
-make dist-mac    # (run on macOS)    → podtui-darwin-<arch>.tar.gz
-make dist-linux  # (run on Linux)    → podtui-linux-<arch>.tar.gz
-```
+**`preload not found` at startup** — this used to happen when the binary was
+launched from a Bun project directory whose `bunfig.toml` had a `preload`
+entry. Releases are compiled with bunfig autoload disabled
+(`autoloadBunfig: false`), so current binaries ignore the CWD's `bunfig.toml`
+entirely. If you still hit it, you're on an old release — upgrade.
 
-`make dist` emits a config-independent binary: Bun does not bake bunfig
-settings into `--compile` output, and the solid JSX transform is registered in
-`build.ts` itself. The binary then embeds the `preload`-free runtime, so launch
-it from any normal directory.
+**No audio — playback is a silent no-op** — PodTui needs **mpv** on your
+`PATH`. Install it (`brew install mpv`, `pacman -S mpv`, …) and relaunch.
 
-## Packaging model
+**Homebrew prints a dylib warning** — “load commands do not fit in the header
+… needs `-headerpad`” is benign: the app loads its libraries by path, the
+install completes, and the app boots normally.
 
-A release tarball is three files sitting side by side:
+**The app won't start / no spectrum after moving files** — `podtui` loads its
+two native libraries relative to the binary, so keep `podtui`,
+`libopentui.*`, and `libcavacore.*` together in the same directory (the
+tarball unpacks them side by side).
 
-```
-podtui                  # standalone compiled binary (embeds the Bun runtime)
-libopentui.<dylib|so>   # OpenTUI native renderer FFI library
-libcavacore.<dylib|so>  # cavacore spectrum FFI library (built from C)
-```
+## Building from source / contributing
 
-PodTui loads its native libraries relative to the binary, so **keep them in
-the same directory**. The compiled binary embeds the Bun runtime, so it runs
-with no Bun installed. Each release builds one tarball per OS/arch in CI; there
-is no cross-compilation.
+Development setup, the test suite, packaging, and the release process are
+documented in [CONTRIBUTING.md](CONTRIBUTING.md).

+/**
+ * PaneRow — the shared parent | current | preview 3-pane layout primitive.
+ *
+ * Implements yazi's `mgr.ratio` contract: three columns grow at
+ * 20% : 50% : 30% (PANE_RATIO 2:5:3) of the row width via Yoga `flexGrow`,
+ * so every list tab renders an identical, layout-stable shell. Columns use
+ * `flexBasis={0}` so the ratio is exact regardless of content width — a
+ * column's content can never stretch its slot.
+ *
+ * Column semantics (per the yazi depth model):
+ *   parent  — the previous-depth list. Renders a muted `—` placeholder and
+ *             KEEPS its 20% slot when blank (never collapses to width 0).
+ *             Borderless (no left/right/top/bottom edge). Carries the single
+ *             header row: the CURRENT column's title renders top-left in the
+ *             parent's slot (the panes above current/preview were removed).
+ *   current — the current-depth list. The only focusable content column; it
+ *             is the ONLY bordered column — left/right edges only, always
+ *             muted (no active-border highlight, focused or not).
+ *   preview — detail of the hovered item in `current`. Borderless, no header.
+ *
+ * The primitive is purely structural: callers pass their own JSX per column
+ * (static elements or accessors) plus the current-column title. Theme colors
+ * are resolved internally via `useTheme()`. Only the current column's
+ * `<scrollbox>` receives `focused`, so scroll focus follows the cursor (j/k
+ * stay in the current pane).
+ *
+ * Example:
+ *   <PaneRow
+ *     parent={parentList}
+ *     current={currentList}
+ *     preview={detail}
+ *     currentLabel="List · 42"
+ *     focused={isActive}

-/**
- * YaziPaneRow — the shared parent | current | preview 3-pane layout primitive.
- *
- * Implements yazi's `mgr.ratio = [1, 3, 3]` contract: three bordered columns
- * grow at 1/7 : 3/7 : 3/7 of the row width via Yoga `flexGrow`, so every list
- * tab renders an identical, layout-stable shell. Columns use `flexBasis={0}`
- * so the ratio is exact regardless of content width — a column's content can
- * never stretch its slot.
- *
- * Column semantics (per the yazi depth model):
- *   parent  — the previous-depth list. Renders a muted `—` placeholder and
- *             KEEPS its 1/7 slot when blank (never collapses to width 0).
- *   current — the current-depth list. The only focusable content column; it
- *             carries the active-border focus ring when `focused` is truthy.
- *   preview — detail of the hovered item in `current`; always muted border.
- *
- * The primitive is purely structural: callers pass their own JSX per column
- * (static elements or accessors) plus header labels. Theme colors are resolved
- * internally via `useTheme()`. Only the current column's `<scrollbox>` receives
- * `focused`, so scroll focus follows the cursor (j/k stay in the current pane).
- *
- * Example:
- *   <YaziPaneRow
- *     parent={parentList}
- *     current={currentList}
- *     preview={detail}
- *     parentLabel="Up"
- *     currentLabel="List · 42"
- *     previewLabel="Detail"
- *     focused={isActive}
