Subject: [PATCH] chore(localdev): bind plex_media to a local test dir instead
 of the nas.lan SMB share
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

The nas.lan CIFS share was too slow for dev playback, so localdev now binds a
small local Plex test tree (a few movies/shows mirroring the server's
/data/<lib>/… layout) at /plex-media. Driven by PLEX_MEDIA_HOST_PATH in .env
(gitignored) — default points at the Docker-Desktop host path for
D:\plex-test-media. The old CIFS/PLEX_SMB_* approach stays in git history.
