v0.10.0

This release is about the audio path and offline resilience: the player engine is rewritten as a single-owner actor, scrobbles now queue when you're offline and flush when connectivity returns, and multi-priority sorting lands across the library, artist, and album views.

Highlights

Player engine rewrite. The player is re-architected as a single-owner actor with a dedicated worker/sink split and its own runtime, replacing the old sprawling player.rs (#504). Source stream preparation is centralized into one path so every backend feeds the engine the same way (#500), and a new output sample rate mode lets you control the device rate from settings (#523). The rewrite ships with an extensive engine test suite.

Offline scrobbling. A scrobble that fails with a transient error (no response or a 5xx) is now persisted to a scrobble_queue table and resubmitted later with its original listen timestamp, across Last.fm, Libre.fm, and ListenBrainz. Permanent failures (4xx, e.g. bad credentials) are never queued, and one listen owed to several services is delivered independently so a single failing service never blocks the others (#511).

Multi-priority sorting. Album, library, and artist views gain configurable multi-key sorting, so you can order by several fields at once instead of a single column (#510, #522).
