Land the "New" now-playing bar as the first of the four switchable
layouts. A dedicated SongCard component holds the cover (or an idle
sleeping cat), the elidable title, the artist·album links, and the
vertical audio stamp (compact quality badge over the backend/mode LEDs).
A full-width seek bar sits on top with a buffer-driven stream lock.
The controls row uses responsive symmetric column zones (39/30/25% by
window width); the side columns share one fraction so the transport stays
absolutely centred and PLAY lands on the window centre. The song-card /
controls divider is a hard wall: the text column stretches to push the
audio stamp to its right edge, the album elides first (and never collapses
to zero) so the stamp is always visible and never crosses the wall.
Adds QualityBadgeFull compact mode, backend/mode output LED labels from
settings, a global TooltipOverlay so clipped columns keep their tooltips,
and the supporting icons.

NowPlayingBar (start of the playback-bar work):
- height raised to 110px
- SeekBar component: three-line track (total / cached / progress), a
hover thumb, elapsed/remaining times, and a hover time bubble with a
downward caret marking the seek position
- song card: background and border dropped, gains the extra height,
album/artist links and the context icon kept (context icon now
always shown)
- transport + secondary buttons copied from Tauri (shuffle, prev,
play, next, repeat, add, favorite; cast, picture-in-picture,
fullscreen, normalization; volume cluster). Queue/Lyrics stay in the
header — and the header now orders them lyrics-then-queue.
Settings constraints (1:1 with Tauri):
- Exclusive Mode enabled only on ALSA; DAC Passthrough only on
PipeWire; Lock Output Device disabled while DAC Passthrough is on;
Gapless disabled while Streaming Only is on
- backend change cascades: forces off DAC passthrough / force-bit-
perfect / exclusive / gapless as appropriate; DAC-passthrough and
streaming-only cascades; initial-buffer slider right-aligned
Discover fixes:
- navigation [<] [>] pair homologated to the same top/left margin
across every view
- album/artist description moved back into the metadata column (it now
fills the width there) with uniform secondary text color
- genre filter button hugs its label instead of stretching
- Recently Played Albums and Tracks modules always render, with a
placeholder until the play history has data
- wider spacing between Discover rows; the Discover gear is no longer
a Settings shortcut (it is the per-tab sort/show-hide control)
