feat(sound): album art as the OSD background
When the current track has art, the volume OSD now draws it across the whole panel, blurred (MultiEffect blur 0.5, default blurMax) and masked to the panel's rounded corners, since clip only cuts to the bounding box. The thumbnail in the track row stays sharp on top. A dark scrim (Theme.base at 0.82) sits over the art. The palette is dark and the text light, so a light cover made the panel unreadable, and more blur did not fix that; only darkening did. The scrim is a sibling of the MultiEffect, not a child: nested inside it, it did not paint at all, which is why raising its alpha first appeared to change nothing. Without art the panel keeps its translucent, compositor-frosted look. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Hovering the panel freezes its fade so the buttons can be clicked; moving away
starts the countdown again. Without a hover it behaves exactly as it did before
there was anything clickable on it. It still takes no keyboard focus.
