feat(audio-player): scrub interaction rework — free-flow drag, pixel magnetism, touch pull-away precision (plan §9)

Mouse: drag is free-flow 1:1 (rail only on Shift+drag, now with
window from/to edge labels); clicks land with pixel magnetism
(MAGNET_RADIUS_PX=10) — the old 5-second threshold was sub-pixel on
long books and never fired, which was the 'chapter scrub isn't
accurate' bug. Hover inside the radius locks the tooltip to the line
with a highlight. Shift+click jumps to the nearest line from anywhere.

Touch: drag is an incremental cursor (applyDrag) whose scale tightens
continuously as the finger pulls off the bar (dragScale, exponential
10^(-|dy|/80px)) — the rail is the feedback: window shrinks with the
zoom (touchRailSpan) and lifts toward the finger (railLiftPx).

Dialog retitled 'Shortcuts & interactions' with a Mouse & touch
section driven by POINTER_GUIDE (audio-keys.ts). Old seconds-threshold
snapToChapter deleted. 133 unit tests; 19 Playwright checks on the
KJV (1189ch) and Gardens (34ch) books.
