peter b7a6451dba fix(downloads): iPad audio playback + honest non-retryable failure for auth-walled hosts
5a — the public watch page rendered every asset in a <video>, but WebKit (all
iOS browsers) refuses to play an audio-only mp3 in <video>, so shared audio
links were broken on iPad while working on desktop Chromium. public_meta now
flags audio-only assets (codec present, no video stream) and WatchPage renders
a native <audio> in a padded surface card (no artwork exists for these).

5c — a login-walled Facebook post failed as a bare 'unknown', which offered a
misleading Retry. Classify closed-group / cookie-suggestion auth walls as
login_required and genuinely unsupported sites as a new unsupported_host class
(both non-retryable), and drop unknown from the modal's retryable set — an
unclassified failure is most often an unparsed auth wall. The queue row keeps
its own force-retry for real transients.

"""Classify a raw yt-dlp / ffmpeg failure string into a stable category code.
The worker stores the raw exception text (truncated) for technical detail, but a raw
`ERROR: [youtube] <id>: Private video. Sign in…` is noise to a user. `classify()` maps that text
to one of a small set of category codes; the frontend turns the code into a localized, human
explanation (and decides whether a retry makes sense). The raw text stays available behind a
"details" disclosure. This is the same string-matching approach the worker already trusts for
`_RETRIABLE_MARKERS` — kept here as the single source of truth for "what kind of failure is this".
