Shared artwork HTTP client gains the missing 10s total timeout (half-up
networks could pin the 16-permit semaphore). fetch_cached_http short-
circuits while offline: disk hits serve, misses return the placeholder
immediately with zero network and no negative caching. Now-playing meta
resolves MPRIS art to a cached file:// URL (or none) instead of an
unfetchable https URL while offline; system notifications skip their
blocking artwork download offline via an injected flag, keeping
qbz-media-controls frontend-agnostic.
Part of offline-mode slice 3; main.rs wiring rides the slice-3 wiring
commit.

Port the Tauri desktop-notification path to a frontend-agnostic crate so the
Slint app (and any future TUI/CLI) fires it from native Rust instead of a
webview invoke.
New qbz-media-controls::notify module:
- Linux: XDG notification portal via ashpd (D-Bus); album art passed as
Icon::Bytes after center-crop + downscale to <=512px + PNG re-encode (<=4 MiB).
- macOS: notify_rust with image_path (cover cached to disk).
- Windows: no-op (parity with Tauri).
- Self-contained artwork download + md5 cache + resize, matching the Tauri
helpers, with no dependency on the frontend (ADR-006).
Wired in playback::refresh_now_playing_meta (the same point that pushes the
tray tooltip + OS media controls):
- De-dupe by track id so only an actual track change fires (the refresh also
runs on resume/seek).
- Skip while a remote QConnect renderer drives playback (matches the Svelte
skipIfRemote). Fire-and-forget on a tokio task.
Enabled by default, matching the Tauri default; a settings toggle is a
follow-up.

New frontend-agnostic crate qbz-media-controls (ADR-006): one MediaIntegration
trait, cfg-split backends. Linux uses mpris-server and publishes the MPRIS
org.mpris.MediaPlayer2.DesktopEntry property as com.blitzfc.qbz — the only way
GNOME Shell resolves the app icon for its media widget (souvlaki, the old
cross-platform crate, never set it, so GNOME showed no icon; KDE is lenient).
macOS/Windows keep souvlaki (MediaRemote/SMTC), where the icon comes from the
app bundle, not a DesktopEntry. The Linux server runs on a dedicated thread
with its own tokio runtime; state arrives over an async channel.
Wired into qbz-slint via src/media_controls.rs: started on shell entry,
metadata/playback pushed from the playback paths (mirroring the tray), and
inbound control events (media keys, the desktop media widget, Now Playing)
dispatched to the player through the existing QConnect-aware helpers. Both
Linux and macOS compile clean.
