* fix(playback): route v3 direct play and remux through proxy nodes

Protocol v3 consulted the node planner only for the HLS deliveries, so
`original_http` and `server_remux_progressive` sessions returned an
API-local `/stream/{session_id}` URL and the API node served the bytes —
ServeDirectPlay for direct play, a locally spawned ffmpeg for the remux.
An operator running dedicated proxy nodes still saw all of that egress on
the API node.

The capability already existed: the proxy implements /stream/direct and
/stream/remux, and the Jellyfin-compat transport already plans a proxy for
exactly these two methods. Native v3 was the only surface skipping it, so
Jellyfin clients routed correctly on a deployment where Silo's own clients
did not. This wires the same shape into the v3 identity transport rather
than inventing a second selection path.

The proxy serves from the stream token alone, so the token now carries the
media path, the file's Dolby Vision profile (a P7 remux must strip the
dangling RPU) and the audio-only flag (which picks audio/mp4 over
video/mp4, the MIME the plan promised). RecipeCard models none of the
three; a missing claim would not fail loudly, it would serve a subtly
different stream than the plan promised.

Two related fixes:

- Proxy direct play served via http.ServeFile, which sets no strong ETag.
  direct_stream_resume_v1 depends on the ETag ServeDirectPlay sets before
  ServeContent, so routing direct play to a proxy without this would have
  silently broken resumable direct streams: If-Range never validates and a
  resumed range restarts at 200. The proxy now uses the same serve path.

- playback.local_transcode_fallback was only checked in the HLS branch, so
  a progressive remux that converts audio still spawned ffmpeg locally on
  an API-only node with the setting disabled. Identity deliveries now
  honor the gate too — direct play still falls back locally, since moving
  bytes is not transcode work and single-node deployments must keep
  working.

Falling back to the API-local path when no proxy is eligible preserves
single-node behavior, and a planner reservation is released whenever the
session does not actually reach a proxy.

Closes #619

* fix(playback): validate proxy recipes and keep proxy sessions alive

Addresses three P1 findings on the proxy-transport change.

Proxies do run ffmpeg — /stream/remux converts audio and strips Dolby
Vision RPUs — but they exposed no capability endpoint, so unlike the HLS
offload path nothing checked that the selected proxy could execute the
transformations a plan froze. A pool whose proxies carry a different
ffmpeg build (rolling upgrade, custom image) would fail at stream time: a
missing aac encoder 500s, a missing dovi_rpu filter is refused outright by
the remux itself. Proxies now serve /hw-capabilities in the same shape and
at the same path as a transcode node, and identity planning validates the
frozen recipe against the selected proxy, falling back to a node that can
do the work. A proxy that does not answer is treated as incapable rather
than assumed good: an older proxy predating the endpoint is exactly the
mismatched build the check exists to catch. Direct play copies bytes and
needs no recipe, so it skips the probe entirely.

meteredResponseWriter implemented neither Unwrap nor SetWriteDeadline, so
RollingDeadlineWriter could not install its stall deadline on any proxy
stream. With the standalone proxy running WriteTimeout 0 there was no
server-level guard behind it, so a client that stopped reading without
closing its connection would block a write forever, holding the session,
the file, the goroutine and the connection.

A proxy-served session never produces a transport request on the API node,
so activeTransportCount — what protects a local stream from the idle
reaper — stays zero and a heartbeat gap longer than the active grace would
reap a healthy stream, after which progress, stop and replan all fail with
session-not-found while bytes still flow. Sessions are now marked as
remotely transported, which widens their idle windows rather than granting
immunity: this manager has no absolute session lifetime, so unconditional
immunity would leak a session forever when a client disappears without
stopping. The mark is always set on commit, so a re-plan that moves a
session back onto the API clears a stale one.

Also adopts the exported transformation constants in the tests and covers
the effective-recipe bitrate branch, per review.

* fix(playback): pick capable sibling proxies and refresh transport locality

Narrow proxy selection by capability *before* selection rather than
rejecting a single round-robin pick afterwards. Abandoning the pool on one
mismatch meant a capable proxy with free capacity sat unused while
playback either ran ffmpeg on the API node or, with
playback.local_transcode_fallback disabled, was refused outright — the
exact api/proxy split this branch targets, during exactly the rolling
ffmpeg upgrade the capability check exists for. PlanSessionWith now
applies its eligibility predicate to the proxy on proxy-only plans (the
proxy is the executor there), mirroring how HLS filters transcode nodes,
and the planner grows ProxyNodeURLs to match TranscodeNodeURLs. Direct
play still skips the probe: it copies bytes and needs no recipe.

Every committed route now records transport locality, not just the
identity-proxy one. A session replanned from a proxy onto the integrated
transcoder previously kept a stale remote-transport mark, and the widened
idle grace it grants would hold that session's stream and transcode slots
for five minutes after the local stream disconnected without an explicit
stop. The remote HLS route sets it too — it also hands the client an
absolute proxy URL that never reaches this server.

The proxy's CORS config exposed no response headers, so cross-origin
JavaScript could send the If-Range/Range request headers it already allows
but never read the ETag, Accept-Ranges or Content-Range needed to build
them. direct_stream_resume_v1 silently degraded to a full restart whenever
the proxy was on a different origin than the web app, which is the normal
deployment.

Also regenerates internal/playback/testdata/protocol_v3 and the schema
fixtures, which were stale for output_change_v1 since #613/#617 and failed
CI on every branch.

* fix(playback): restore the alternate-version fallback for burn-in refusals

#617 renamed the terminal a burn-in-forced adaptation reports: when the
subtitle burn requirement is the sole trigger, an HDR source that cannot
be re-encoded now returns subtitle_conversion_unsupported instead of
hdr_transcode_unsupported, so the refusal names the thing the viewer can
actually act on.

terminalAllowsAlternateFileV3 was not updated to match, and it gates the
alternate-version retry on the old reason strings. That silently retired
the fallback for exactly the case its own comment describes — a bitmap
subtitle needing burn-in that an HDR source cannot support while an SDR
alternate can. Playback was refused outright instead of switching to the
version that can serve it.

Adds the new reason to the gate and covers it directly, so a future
rename of a refusal reason fails on the gate rather than only on the
end-to-end replan test.

Also drops debug instrumentation that was committed by mistake in
TestHandleReplanPlaybackV3BitmapSubtitleFallsBackFromHDRToSDRVersion; the
assertion is back to its original form and now passes on the merits.
