Michael Freno 20336ea716 feat(audio): rebuild playback + visualization on resident daemon and PCM cache
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.

/**
* external-pause-reconcile.test.ts — "audio paused outside PodTUI must not
* freeze the player tab" regression test.
*
* The OS can pause the player without PodTUI knowing: system sleep/lock,
* AirPod removal / device swap, OS media keys, the Now Playing center. mpv
* flips its own `pause` property and keeps it there. Before the fix,
* useAudio's signals stayed on "playing" — [Pause] button shown while
* silent, a poll that only re-read the same frozen `time-pos` (stuck
* waveform), and no way to catch an external RESUME either (the poll was
* stopped whenever the UI thought it was paused).
*
* Integration style (like restore-session.test.ts): real stores and real
* persistence files in a temp XDG_CONFIG_HOME — but with the REAL mpv
* backend driven over its actual IPC socket. The test flips mpv's pause
* property the same way the OS does and asserts useAudio reconciles in
* both directions. Skipped when mpv isn't installed.
*
* Real-timer note: the reconcile path runs on useAudio's real 150ms poll
* interval against a real mpv process, with no injectable clock — the
* deliberate-exception case from the no-real-timers rule (same as
* visualizer-store.test.ts). `waitFor` polls with Bun.sleep.
*
* Shared-worker note (same as restore-session.test.ts): the suite reuses
* bun test workers, so other files' `mock.module("../src/hooks/useAudio")`
* leaks into this file's module registry. The REAL useAudio is therefore
* imported via a `?external-pause-test` query suffix — a distinct module
* identity bun loads from disk, bypassing the leaked mock.
