Background of Hero carousel, Album Detail and Playlist Detail was
flickering for up to 20 seconds on first visit. useCachedUrl with
fallbackToFetch=true returned the raw server URL immediately, causing
a double render — once with the HTTP URL and again when the blob was
ready. Fixed by passing fallbackToFetch=false in all three locations.

### Added
- Favorite/Star button in player bar (requested by @halfkey)
- Bulk multi-select for album tracklist and playlist detail (add to playlist, remove from playlist)
- Song Info modal via right-click context menu (metadata: format, bitrate, sample rate, bit depth, channels, file size, path, replay gain)
- Recently Played section on Home page
- "Show activity in Now Playing" opt-in toggle in Settings → Behavior
### Fixed
- Queue cover art not updating on track change (useCachedUrl/CachedImage reset on cacheKey change)
- FullscreenPlayer background flickering (FsBg preloads image before layer transition)
- Playlist card delete confirmation visual (size expansion + pulse animation)
- Gruvbox Light Soft: back button and badge invisible against light background
### Changed
- buildStreamUrl: removed unused suffix parameter

- layout: overflow:hidden on .app-shell + min-height:0 on sidebar/main/queue
prevents player bar from being pushed off-screen when window is resized
below OS minHeight constraint (ignored by some Linux WMs)
- lib.rs: pass main window HWND to souvlaki PlatformConfig on Windows so
SMTC hooks into the existing Win32 message loop instead of creating its
own — fixes media keys on Windows without crashing
Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
SMTC init via souvlaki requires a valid HWND + COM message loop, which
are not available in setup(). Guarded behind #[cfg(not(target_os = "windows"))].
mpris_set_metadata / mpris_set_playback no-op on Windows via the None branch.
