peter 47af4d5c05 fix(plex): an HLS artifact names the session it belongs to, and a paused viewer says so
Deep-review round 5, over round 4's own fixes.

- Sessions are keyed by rating_key alone while a session's DIRECTORY is per (key, offset, tag), and
  the artifact URL carried no session identity — so once a seek-restart or a second viewer of the
  same item took the registry slot, the old viewer's request for `seg_12.ts` was answered 200 with
  the new session's twelfth segment: bytes from a different `-ss` offset under `-copyts`, on a
  timeline the client is not on. Wrong content with a success status is the one failure a player
  cannot notice, and round 4's reclaim-on-404 could never fire on it. The id is in the path now (so
  the playlist's relative names resolve back into the same session), a mismatch is a 404, and the
  player reclaims at the playhead. The entry playlist's auto-start is gone with it: it could only
  ever begin at 0, silently discarding the viewer's position.

- Round 4 exempted paused viewers from the reaper by keeping EVERY finished session for the full
  ten-minute idle window — one whole segmented copy of a film per item, on the volume the download
  center shares. The signal it needed already existed: an open player checkpoints its position every
  10 s whether or not it is playing, so that route now touches the session and the periodic pass is
  back on the short rule.

- POST /session's opportunistic reap was never scoped to the key being started: it walked the whole
  registry with the 30 s finished rule, so pressing play on ANY item — even a direct-play one, the
  call ran before that early return — killed another viewer's paused session. It is gone; the
  periodic pass owns reaping.

- A segment that can never arrive no longer polls out the full 20 s: the producer's handle is passed
  to `wait_for`, so a finished ffmpeg answers at once. This is a sync route, so each such wait parked
  a threadpool worker AND a pooled DB connection, and an ordinary seek past the produced region was
  enough to do it.

- The DataError handler's re-raise branch — the half that keeps a genuine DataError a 500 — is
  pinned, so simplifying it to an unconditional 422 cannot pass in silence.

Six regression tests (two route-level, in the DB lane), each mutation-checked red on the assertion
it is named after. pytest 1124, vitest 999.

"""The playback-session route's mode routing (E6 S1b).
`POST /stream/{rk}/session` is the single switch that decides how an item plays: a browser-native
file is served raw (`mode:"direct"`), everything else (re)starts an HLS session — and a
`playable="transcode"` item (non-h264: HEVC/VP9/AV1/…) must take that HLS path with the video
RE-ENCODED, not stream-copied. That routing replaced a former `HTTP 501`, and the only thing that
tells `start_session` to re-encode is the `transcode=` flag this route derives from `it.playable`.
The command-builder itself is unit-tested in `test_plex_stream.py`; here we pin the ROUTE decision
(no ffmpeg spawned — `start_session` is stubbed to echo the flag it was handed).
DB lane (`db` fixture) — skipped when no Postgres is reachable.
