android: the media mirror grows a queue window the card never shows

The Kotlin side of the mirror has always known about exactly one track, and
media3's `SimpleBasePlayer.getState()` — the thing an Android Auto session is
built on — wants a playlist and an index into it. So the data lands a round
before the migration that needs it, where it cannot break anything:
`NowPlaying` and `NowPlayingArgs` carry a bounded `queue` of at most
twenty-one entries, the current item and ten either side, each with its id,
title, artist, album, duration and art key, plus `queueIndex`, where the
current one sits within that window rather than within the whole queue.
`src/mobile/media.svelte.js` fills them from `player.queue` and `player.qi`;
`MediaService` ignores every bit of it, so the card is byte for byte the card
it was. Ten either side because one covers the card's own prev and next and
nothing else while a queue list — which is what Auto asks for — wants a
screenful plus a scroll both ways, and it is a cap rather than a length: a
two-thousand-track queue crosses the bridge as twenty-one entries exactly
like a twenty-one-track one, measured at two kilobytes of JSON for twenty-one
short titles and six with long ones and real cover paths, against the thirty
to eighty of base64 cover that already ride the same call once per record.

Nothing renders it, which is the whole difficulty in checking it — and both
hops of this bridge fail silently, because serde drops an unknown field and
tauri's Jackson mapper has `FAIL_ON_UNKNOWN_PROPERTIES` off, so a key spelled
snake_case where camelCase was wanted arrives as nothing at all with no error
anywhere. `MediaSessionPlugin.update` logs one line per update, and the phone
walk holds that line against `__ss.card` — the mirror media.svelte.js now
keeps of what it last sent, the shape xfernote has kept of the shade since it
was written — field for field, through a next and a previous. The art-key
count is compared as well as the size and the index, since that is the only
camelCase field an entry has. The check arms at queue index one rather than
at wherever the walk left off, which buys a row on either side — `prev()`
seeks to zero at the top of a queue and `next()` stops at the end — a track
that has only just started, so `prev()` is still a step rather than the seek
it becomes past five seconds, and a window whose own index is the queue
index, because nothing is clamped off the front while the index is under ten.
Each of the three readings has to be a fresh one at both ends, the push
counter up and a new line in the log, since a `prev()` that lands back where
it started reads exactly like a stale line otherwise; and a queue too short
to arm, or repeat-one, under which `next()` seeks instead of stepping, fails
the check rather than skipping it.

The plugin's `consumer-rules.pro` keeps the new `@InvokeArg` class by name
beside the one it already keeps; without that line a release build would fill
`NowPlayingArgs` and leave every queue entry null, quietly. Rust and Kotlin
both changed, so this one cannot go down `dev.sh` — it needs the full
`deploy.sh` detour. And everything the walk already asserts about the card is
untouched, which is the real check on this round.
