peter 520b0afb90 feat(clip): crop a clip to a frame drawn on the picture, and give the clip panel the room it needs
An optional crop in clip mode: a Crop toggle puts a frame on the picture (free, 16:9, 9:16 or 1:1;
the whole picture stays the default). The frame is sent in fractions of the box it was drawn in,
with that box's shape; the worker fits the real picture into the box by its display aspect (sample
aspect and rotation aware), drops the part over the bars, and crops first in the filter chain. A
frame covering the whole box is no crop at all, and one off the picture is refused by name.

The crop frame is a ui primitive (CropFrame) shared with the video editor, keyboard-operable.
YouTube: the wide side panel shuts while clipping and comes back after; maximised, the clip panel
docks in the stage. Plex: the picture sits above the clip panel so the frame lies on it.

"""Ad-hoc clips: a marked range of a YouTube video or a Plex item, cut into a new per-user asset.
A clip never needs the whole source first. A YouTube clip fetches only its range (yt-dlp's
`download_ranges`; measured: 3-7 s whether the video runs four minutes or an hour, and the fetched
range starts on the marked frame), and a Plex clip reads the library file in place. Either way the
range then goes through ONE re-encode built here, so every clip has the same shape whatever its
source: frame-exact at both ends, H.264 at most 1080p (an HDR source tonemapped to SDR — kept as
10-bit PQ it played washed out), stereo AAC, in an .mp4 that plays on any phone.
A clip may also crop the picture to a frame the user drew over the playing video. The frame is
given in fractions of the box it was drawn in, with that box's aspect: the YouTube iframe never
tells its picture's size, so the frame there is drawn over the player's 16:9 box (a short's 9:16),
and the cut maps it onto the real picture (`crop_filter`) — what lies over a letterbox bar is dropped.
The spec is stored on the job (`DownloadJob.edit_spec`) and is the clip's whole identity: its
signature is the asset's cache key, so marking the same range again is an instant cache hit, and a
different range or audio track is a different clip.
