Distribution info, shared asset library, gentler audio

Title, description, and thumbnail for distribution land in one dialog. A shared library for elements you reuse across projects. And episode audio is now a little quieter and easier on the ears.

Features:

Distribution dialog. The Tools menu now has a single Save dialog for the episode's title, description, and thumbnail. Drag an image straight onto the thumbnail drop area.
Shared asset library. Save any element on a project's timeline into a workspace-shared library, then drag it onto any other project's timeline. Trim and timing come with it.
Bundles. Save a multi-element selection, like a sponsor read with its lower-third, or an intro stinger with its music bed, as one bundle. Drop it onto a new timeline and the layout is preserved.
Thumbnails for saved assets, with right-click rename. Updates live as you save.
Tools menu: Evaluate mastered audio. Generates a loudness report you can scan before publishing.
The mastered audio track now draws a real waveform, like the host tracks.
Close gap here is now a right-click action on any visible gap.

Improvements:

Episode audio sounds a little quieter and easier on the ears at typical podcast listening volumes.
Close-gap shortcut (g) now acts on the track and position under the cursor instead of closing every gap at the playhead at once.
Dragging a group of clips keeps the layout. Audio tracks no longer drift up or down a row when you drag a selection across multiple tracks.
Snap radius is capped at one second, so dragging a clip across a long gap doesn't pull it to a far-away anchor.
Audio clips can overlap while dragging, and snap back when you release them onto an open spot. Shuffling sponsor reads and music beds feels less restrictive.
Editor header menu items no longer have trailing dots. Project menu reads cleaner.
Older projects now show video thumbnails on the assets panel instead of blank cards.
In-progress runs: "N files visible" instead of the misleading "stable N/3".
You can re-upload an episode after a pipeline run finishes, fails, or times out. No more stuck rows.
Pop editor is now PopCut everywhere: branding, header, and link previews.

Fixes:

Dragging a clip to the very start of the timeline no longer gets stuck. Bundles also drop onto the right tracks.
Library: rewritten How the Library works copy in plainer language. Rename dialog has proper padding now.
Distribution dialog: just one Save button now, and the episode lookup works correctly.
Import: fails loudly when an episode is missing a camera angle, instead of quietly importing a broken project.
