fix(home): swap Because-you-listened rail to AlbumRow under 696 px (#520)

* fix(home): swap Because-you-listened rail to AlbumRow under 696 px

The hero-style BecauseCards are tuned for full-rail widths (3 cards at
1052 px+, 2 cards at 696-1051 px). Below that the cards stretched
full-width with a fixed 160 px cover stuck on the left and centred text
floating in a wide empty area — looked like three over-sized banners
stacked vertically instead of a compact recommendation rail.

A `ResizeObserver` on the rail wrapper now watches the container width
and below 696 px renders a standard `AlbumRow` (which is already
perf-tuned for narrow rails: artwork budget, viewport windowing, scroll
paging). Wide layouts keep the unchanged hero card layout, so the
mainstage view at full width is identical to before.

+### Home — Because-you-listened rail compact in narrow layouts
+
+**By [@Psychotoxical](https://github.com/Psychotoxical), PR [#520](https://github.com/Psychotoxical/psysonic/pull/520)**
+
+* When the rail container drops below the 2-card threshold (≈ 696 px — sidebar + queue both open, mini, etc.), the home **Because-you-listened** section now switches to the standard `AlbumRow` layout instead of stretching the hero-style cards to full width. The narrow path inherits the rail's existing perf tuning (artwork budget, viewport windowing, scroll paging).
+* Wide layouts (>= 696 px) keep the existing 3-up hero cards with the "Similar to X" pill, album metadata, and album release-type pills — full-screen view is unchanged.
+* Detection runs through a single `ResizeObserver` on the rail wrapper. The wide path adds zero extra renders.
