Higher-quality full-bleed Now Playing backdrop - #95

Three regressions from the cached-backdrop change, fixed together: - The blur looked blocky: 40 px nearest-tier upscale was too coarse. BackdropRenderer now works on a 160 px square with a real clamped gaussian (sigma 20), matching the old live radius-60 look — still a one-time render per URL, zero per-frame cost. - The source art was soft: the renderer now tries maxresdefault and sddefault before falling back to the stored hqdefault thumbnail. - The blur didn't fill the screen (black band at the top): safe-area piercing doesn't survive inside scroll content, so the backdrop now lives as the Now Playing page's BACKGROUND behind hard insets in MainPagerView — backgrounds cover the full padded frame, bars included. homeLayout no longer embeds its own backdrop.

What
Stacked on #94 (merge that first). Fixes the backdrop regressions from the cached-blur change, per the screenshots:
BackdropRenderernow works on a 160 px square and runs a real clamped gaussian (sigma 20) via CoreImage — visually equivalent to the old live radius-60 blur, still rendered exactly once per URL (the memory fix is untouched: zero per-frame offscreen rendering).maxresdefaultandsddefaulttiers before falling back to the storedhqdefault, so the blurred field is built from the sharpest available cover..backgroundbehind hard insets inMainPagerView(backgrounds cover the full padded frame, bars included), andhomeLayoutno longer embeds its own backdrop. Sheet mode is unchanged.Testing
On device: blurred art edge-to-edge top to bottom, smooth (not blotchy), scrim/legibility unchanged, crossfade on track change still works, and no sideways layout shift. If you want it softer/sharper, the knobs are
