peter 53b50231ff feat(e24): the Home surface read-model — hero, resume rail, comfort shelf
E24 S1. The anti-paralysis answer layer, served from our own Postgres with no
upstream call: one hero suggestion, one CROSS-SOURCE resume rail, and the user's
own comfort shelf.

Survey first, because the roadmap line was wrong about the starting point: Plex
already ships the whole trio (E5's Discover rails, including a reshuffling
Surprise me), the YouTube side ships none of it, and nothing anywhere answers
the question across both. The data already existed on both sides — VideoState
and PlexState are structurally identical, the feed has an `in_progress` filter
and a seeded shuffle, and the YT player already resumes position.

- app/discover/budget.py — the time bands. "How much time do you have"
  (10 perc / 30 perc / egy este / mindegy) replaces 15/D's mood questionnaire:
  deterministic, answerable from a column we have, and it picks the source for
  free. Matched against REMAINING time, so a film with 8 minutes left is a
  ten-minute answer. An unknown runtime fits only the unbounded band.
- app/discover/cards.py — a thin unified card that carries the NATIVE feed /
  Plex payload, so the page renders with the existing card components instead of
  a third one. `aspect` is the one new field: a rail needs to know poster from
  16:9, and that is a property of the artwork, not of the module.
- app/discover/queries.py — the SQL, reusing feedquery and plex.rollup rather
  than the Plex Discover ROUTE, whose LibraryFilters narrowing belongs to a
  surface that has a sidebar. One seed drives both halves so a reroll moves
  them together.
- app/discover/hero.py — resume -> comfort -> surprise, with the chosen tier in
  the payload so the client labels it honestly instead of guessing.
- comfort_pins (0083): five nullable CASCADE-ing FKs under num_nonnulls(...) = 1
  rather than a flag or a polymorphic string ref. A flag cannot order a shelf or
  hold a channel; a string ref would let a deleted library item leave a dead tile
  on the one surface whose whole job is to be reliable.

Two honest-state rules the tests pin: the surprise draw excludes anything
already started (the resume tier may have skipped it for not fitting, and
offering it back as "Meglepetés" would contradict the question), and which
source leads the draw follows the seed, so the Plex library can actually answer
"egy este".

"""The Home surface's rails: cross-source lists, assembled from `queries.py` and emitted as unified
cards.
The whole point of this module is that a rail is ONE list, not a YouTube list beside a Plex list. Two
side-by-side rails would just move the choice the user could not make ("which half do I look at?") one
level up, which is the opposite of what this epic is for.

Interleaved rather than concatenated — the same alternation `routes/plex/discover.py` uses for its

happened to be queried first.
WHICH source leads is decided by the seed, not by a hardcoded order. The hero draws a pool of ONE,
so a fixed order would mean the Plex library could never answer "egy este" while a single YouTube
video also fit — the reroll would look broken and the cross-source promise would quietly be a
YouTube promise. Parity on the same seed that orders the rows keeps it deterministic: the same
seed always gives the same answer, and pressing "Mást kérek" moves both halves together."""
