bump VERSION to 0.3.1

Loading indicators: the braille spinner now carries a contextual label
(Refreshing…, Fetching…, Loading more…, Discovering…, Searching…) and is
shown in every loading state that previously rendered nothing — Discover
results, Search results fallback, and the empty Feed list.

Feed pagination: a focusable "[Fetch More]" row at the bottom of the flat
feed list advances every feed's loaded window by 50 episodes via the new
loadMoreAllFeeds/hasMoreAcrossAll store API. Behavior is a setting
(Fetch More: manual|auto, default manual) persisted in config.json; auto
fetches when focus reaches the bottom row. The button row is excluded
from episode focus so no episode is double-highlighted while it is active.

+A release tarball is three files sitting side by side: the `podtui` binary
+plus its two FFI libraries (`libopentui.<dylib|so>`,
+`libcavacore.<dylib|so>`). The sibling rule above is why they ship together.
+
+PodTui deliberately ships **no** `.deb`, `.rpm`, Flatpak, or Snap packages:
+for a terminal app that's overwhelmingly installed through repositories or
+archives, those formats add desktop-sandboxing overhead and a packaging tax
+with little benefit. Instead:
+
+- **GitHub Release tarballs** are the universal path — one upload per
+  OS/arch, works on any distro with `curl` + `tar`.
+- **AUR (`podtui-bin`)** covers Arch/Manjaro with the same binary through the
+  native package manager.
+- **Nix / cross-distro** users build from source (or a Nix flake can be added
+  later).
+
+This keeps maintenance to a single build per OS/arch while still reaching the
+vast majority of desktop Linux users. The AUR PKGBUILD lives in
+`packaging/aur/` and can be built locally to test before publication:

-- Thread a `theme` via `useTheme()` inside the primitive (don't require callers to pass colors)
-- `focused` prop controls which column gets the accent border — default current; parent & preview always muted
-- Ensure the parent column renders a muted placeholder box (e.g. a single `<text fg={muted}>—</text>` or empty) when its children are null, but critically keeps `flexGrow={PANE_RATIO.parent}` so width never collapses

-# 07-blocker — Task 04 (Search + Player) never converted to YaziPaneRow
-
-meta:
-  id: yazi-remake-07-blocker
-  feature: yazi-remake
-  priority: P0

-## Problem
-
-Task 04 (`04-fit-search-and-player-panes.md`) is marked complete, but its
-core deliverable was never implemented:
-
-> - `src/pages/Player/PlayerPage.tsx` — rendered through `<YaziPaneRow>`
-> - `src/pages/Search/SearchPage.tsx` — rendered through `<YaziPaneRow>`
-
-`grep -rn "YaziPaneRow" src/pages/Search src/pages/Player` → **0 files**.
-
-## Evidence (from task 07 harness walk-through, 100×30)
-
-### Player ❌
-
-`src/pages/Player/PlayerPage.tsx` renders a single full-width
-`<scrollbox>` (now-playing transport + controls). No parent pane, no preview
-pane. Frame `.harness/player-current.txt`:
-
-```
-│ Now Playing                                                  0:00 / 0:00 (0%) │
-...
-│ │ │[Prev]│ │[Play]│ │[Next]│   Vol 70%  Speed 1x  ... │ │
-```
-
-Expected (task 04 + feature exit criteria): `blank | transport | notes` at
-1/7 : 3/7 : 3/7.
-
-### Search ⚠️ ratio wrong
-
-`src/pages/Search/SearchPage.tsx` renders three custom `<box flexGrow={
-PANE_RATIO.* }>` columns but **omits `flexBasis={0}`**, so Yoga distributes
-space by natural content width (the input box is `width={28}`). Measured
-column widths at 100 cols: **31 / 32 / 31** (equal thirds), NOT the target
-**~14 / 43 / 43** (1:3:3).
-
-`<YaziPaneRow>` exists precisely to set `flexBasis={0}` per column and force
-the exact 1:3:3 ratio regardless of content (see its header comment). Routing
-Search through it fixes the ratio for free.
-
-## Why not patched in task 07
-
-Task 07 is explicitly the verification gate. Its notes:
-
-> - This is the gate for the whole feature — do not mark done if any criterion
->   fails; open a blocker task instead
-> - If the harness reveals a visual regression (e.g. parent collapses, ratios
->   off), file it against the responsible task (02 or 03) rather than
->   patching here
-
-This is a missing implementation in task 04, not a regression in 02/03, so the
-responsible task is 04. Patches belong there.
-
-## Failing exit criteria
-
-- "All tabs render three stable columns at 1/7 : 3/7 : 3/7" — Player fails
-  (not 3 columns); Search fails (wrong ratio).
-- "`5` → Player: blank|transport|notes at 1:3:3" — fails.
-- "`4` → Search: query|results|detail at 1:3:3" — 3 columns yes, ratio wrong.
-
-## Fix plan (task 04 do-over)
-
-1. `src/pages/Player/PlayerPage.tsx` — wrap the existing transport JSX in a
-   `<YaziPaneRow current={transport} parent={undefined} preview={notes} />`.
-   Parent should fall through to the primitive's muted `—` placeholder (it
-   already keeps its 1/7 slot when blank). Preview = episode description /
-   waveform (currently inline under "Now Playing"). Keep `PlayerPaneCount=1`
-   (the visible columns are a render concern; only current=0 is focusable).
-2. `src/pages/Search/SearchPage.tsx` — replace the three custom `<box
-   flexGrow={PANE_RATIO.*}>` columns with a single `<YaziPaneRow
-   parent={queryInput+recent} current={resultsList} preview={detail}
-   focused={!inputFocused() ? /* results */ : false} />`. Keep the
-   `inputFocused` effect so the Shell yields keys to the native `<input>`
-   when the query pane is focused — note `inputFocused` is a Search-owned
-   signal; YaziPaneRow's `focused` prop only drives the accent ring + scroll
-   focus, which for Search can stay on the current (results) column.
-3. Remove the now-dead custom ratio code from both files after the swap.
-4. Re-run: `grep -rn YaziPaneRow src/pages/Search src/pages/Player` → 2 files;
-   `bun run build`; `bun test`; harness walk-through: Player shows 3 cols,
-   Search cols measure ~14/43/43.
-
-## Verification gates (re-run task 07 after fix)
-
-- `bun run build` → "Build complete"
-- `bun test` → 0 fail
-- harness:
-  - Player frame has 3 bordered columns (parent `—`, current transport,
-    preview notes/placeholder) at 1:3:3
-  - Search frame columns measure ~14/43/43

-# 07. Verify the remake — build + diagnostics + harness walk-through
-
-meta:
-  id: yazi-remake-07
-  feature: yazi-remake
-  priority: P1
-  depends_on: [yazi-remake-03, yazi-remake-04, yazi-remake-05, yazi-remake-06]
-  tags: [verification, tests-required]
-  status: BLOCKED  # see .harness/verification-07.md + tasks/yazi-remake/07-blocker-task-04-player-search.md
-
-objective:
-
-- Confirm the yazi remake meets every exit criterion via a clean build, zero diagnostics, and a full harness walk-through of every tab and depth.
-
-deliverables:
-
-- A passing `bun run build`
-- `lens_diagnostics mode=all` with zero errors across edited files
-- Harness frames + state proving the parent|current|preview 1:3:3 layout, drill/pop behaviour, tab switching, and status bar across all six tabs
-
-steps:
-
-- Run `bun run build` — expect "Build complete"
-- Run `lens_diagnostics mode=all severity=error` — expect 0 findings across all session-edited files
-- Run the drive harness (`scripts/tui-harness.tsx`) walk-through:
-  - `init` → confirm no sidebar, 3 columns at 1:3:3, focus on current, bottom tab strip visible
-  - Feed: `l` (depth 0→1, parent fills) → `l` (1→2) → `h` (2→1) → `h` (1→0, parent blanks) ; `j`/`k` move current
-  - `2` → MyShows: drill show→episodes, parent reflects
-  - `3` → Discover: category→results, parent shows categories
-  - `6` → Settings: sections→items→editor, parent shows the previous list at each depth
-  - `4` → Search: query|results|detail at 1:3:3; type + Enter works
-  - `5` → Player: blank|transport|notes at 1:3:3
-- Capture the status bar content (active tab + depth + counts + now-playing + tab strip) from a representative frame
-
-tests:
-
-- Build: `bun run build` exits 0 with "Build complete"
-- Diagnostics: `lens_diagnostics` mode=all → 0 errors
-- Harness (integration/e2e): the walk-through above produces the expected frames & state (parent blank at depth 0, populates on drill, blanks on pop; digits switch tabs; h noop at depth 0)
-
-acceptance_criteria:
-
-- `bun run build` passes
-- `lens_diagnostics` mode=all reports zero errors
-- All six tabs render 3 stable columns at 1:3:3
-- Parent pane is blank at depth 0; drill fills it with the previous-depth list; pop empties it
-- `h` is a noop at depth 0; `l` drills; `1-6`/`[`/`]` switch tabs; `j/k` move current only
-- No sidebar; focus starts on current; bottom bar shows active tab + depth + counts + tab strip
-
-validation:
-
-- `bun run build 2>&1 | tail -3` → "Build complete"
-- `lens_diagnostics` mode=all severity=error → "No error issues…"
-- Harness `state nav` after `init` shows `pane === 0` (current), not -1
-- Harness frames for Feed depth 0/1/2 show the parent slot transition blank→list→list
-
-notes:
-
-- This is the gate for the whole feature — do not mark done if any criterion fails; open a blocker task instead
-- If the harness reveals a visual regression (e.g. parent collapses, ratios off), file it against the responsible task (02 or 03) rather than patching here
-- Save a representative `.harness/last-frame.txt` snapshot if a visual reference is useful for future sessions
