feat(gui): play videos and music in the app

Opening a video or a song in My files, by a double-click or Open, now
plays it in an in-app player window, streamed from the mount as before.
Open With… is the way to another player, and the separate Play item is
gone. A file GStreamer can't play shows the error with Open With….

Both that player and the Photos lightbox share the new widgets/player.rs:
a fullscreen button, fullscreen on a double-click, Repeat in the ⋮ menu,
K to play and pause, J/L or Shift+arrows to jump 10 seconds, M to mute,
and a volume that carries over between videos. The lightbox's thumbnail
strip stays off a video, where it covered the seek bar.

+### B282 — A file kept offline is downloaded again after a change made elsewhere
+
+**Status:** Fixed, not verified live
+**Found:** 2026-11-13, while looking into B281. Nothing downloaded a pinned file again after the
+pin had downloaded it once.
+**Where:** `apply_event` in `crates/pdfs-fuse/src/background.rs`; the new pin keeper in
+`crates/pdfs-fuse/src/keeper.rs`
+
+**Repro:** Pin a file, then change it from another device. The event deletes the cached copy.
+The file stays listed as kept offline, `cached` is false, and the next read downloads it, or
+fails without a network. Rename or move it elsewhere and the same happens, though its content
+did not change. Add a file to a pinned folder from another device and it is never downloaded.
+A folder pin whose downloads failed while the link was down never retries them.
+
+**Cause:** A remote change to a known node called `ContentCache::evict`, which does not check
+pins, and only the pin request itself downloaded anything. The copy was also stored under the
+size the listing held at pin time. That is the ciphertext size until the size upgrade lands
+(B12), and a copy stored under it never matches the plaintext it holds.
+
+**Fix:** A remote change no longer evicts a pinned file's copy. The copy is checked against the
+revision's `(mtime, size)`, so a read of a newer revision does not take it. A rename keeps the
+revision's mtime (B123), so the copy stays valid. A pin keeper thread checks pins again and
+downloads files that are missing or stale:
+
+- the pins a batch of remote events changed, after the batch's listings are dropped;
+- a pinned folder that gets a new file;
+- every pin at startup, when the link comes back, and after the event feed loses continuity;
+- a file whose version is restored.
+
+Failed downloads are tried again with a backoff from 30 s to 30 min. Pinning settles a
+provisional size before it stores the copy.
+
+**Test:** `a_file_kept_offline_stays_on_disk_through_changes_made_elsewhere` in
+`crates/pdfs-fuse/src/sim/daemon.rs`. Another device edits a pinned file and a file in a pinned
+folder, and adds a file to that folder. The test waits until all three are cached, then reads
+them with the link down. With the keeper disabled, it fails with all three uncached.
+
+---
+
+### B281 — A file in a synced folder cannot be kept offline
+
+**Status:** Fixed, not verified live
+**Found:** 2026-11-13. An image was made available offline in the app, and it opened from the app
+with no download. `feh` opened it from a terminal and downloaded it each time. The two were not
+the same file. The app had kept `~/ProtonDrive/Pictures/photo.png`, in My files. The
+terminal opened `~/Pictures/photo.png`, in the on-demand synced folder `~/Pictures`. That
+copy is a separate node under Computers, uploaded on its own, with the same name and size but a
+different mtime. The daemon treats every program the same way: it does not look at the process
+that reads.
+**Where:** the `Pin` and `Unpin` handlers in `crates/pdfs-fuse/src/control.rs`
+
+**Repro:** Add a synced folder in on-demand mode and put a file in it. `pdfs pin` on its absolute
+path fails with "is not under the mountpoint". A relative path is resolved against My files, so
+it keeps a file of the same name there, if one exists, or fails. Reading the file in the synced
+folder then downloads it.
+
+**Cause:** Both handlers turned the path into a mount-relative one with `rel_to_mount`, which only
+knows the primary mount. B86 moved `ls`, `refresh`, `rm` and `mv` to `route_to_mount`, which finds
+the mount that serves an absolute path. Pin and unpin were left out.
+
+**Fix:** Pin and unpin route through `route_to_mount` and run on the mount that owns the path. A
+path in a mirror folder gets an error that says its files are already on this computer. The pin
+registry records the absolute local path for a pin made through an on-demand folder, so
+`pdfs pins`, the prompt and the HUD open the file through the folder it was kept from. Pins
+under the primary mount still record the path relative to it.
+
+**Test:** `pinning_a_file_in_an_on_demand_folder_keeps_that_folders_copy` in
+`crates/pdfs-fuse/src/sim/daemon.rs`. It pins a file through an on-demand folder's absolute path,
+takes the link down, and reads the file through that folder.

 ### Added
 
-- Shell completion for `pdfs` in bash, zsh and fish, installed by every package, plus elvish
-  and PowerShell through `pdfs completions SHELL`. Besides commands and options it completes
-  paths in My files and the ids and uids the running service knows (synced folders, the queue,
-  computers, trash, albums, shares, invitations, bookmarks, conflicts and versions), each with
-  a description. Share roles are now checked by the CLI (`viewer`, `editor`, `admin`) before
-  the request.
-- `pdfs sync attach PATH --to REMOTE` connects an existing local directory to an existing
-  My files folder. The first sync preserves one-sided files and differing versions (#67).
-  Attachments stay in mirror mode, are excluded from device profiles, and cannot delete
-  the remote root when syncing is stopped.
+- **Sync a local folder with a folder you already have in My files** (#67, #77).
+  `pdfs sync attach ~/Work --to Work` keeps `~/Work` an ordinary local folder and syncs it both
+  ways with My files/Work. The first sync uploads files that are only on this computer, downloads
+  files that are only on Proton Drive, and keeps both versions of a file that differs: the one on
+  Proton Drive keeps its name, and the local one becomes a conflict copy next to it and is
+  uploaded too. Attached folders are always kept on this computer, never online only. They are
+  listed apart from device backups and are not part of the device profile used to restore another
+  computer. Stopping one keeps both copies, and `--delete-remote` is refused for it. If the folder
+  on Proton Drive is trashed or moved out of My files, syncing stops with an error and the local
+  files stay. Attaching a folder is done from a terminal for now.
+
+- **Tab completion for `pdfs`** in bash, zsh and fish, installed by every package. Besides
+  commands and options it completes paths in My files (`pdfs pin Doc<Tab>`) and what the running
+  service knows, each with a description: synced folders, queued changes, computers, trash, albums,
+  items shared with you, invitations, bookmarks and conflict copies, and once a path is typed, the
+  file's versions or the share's members and link. Without the service it still completes commands
+  and options. Elvish and PowerShell load it from `pdfs completions SHELL`, and so does a source
+  build; the [command-line reference](CLI.md#shell-completion) has the line for each shell.
+  `pdfs share` and `pdfs share-role` now check the role (`viewer`, `editor` or `admin`) before
+  sending the request, and `pdfs public-link` does the same for `viewer` and `editor`.

+  capture time. [The SDK review](SDK-0.11.0.md) lists the new features and breaking changes.
+
 ### Fixed
 
-- Large `.ts` recordings (MPEG transport streams) show and open as videos: the video icon, a
-  thumbnail, and the `@media` open rule rather than `@text`. A `.ts` of 1 MiB or more counts
-  as a video, a smaller one stays TypeScript source, and the daemon checks the stream's sync
-  byte before it takes a frame (B283).
-- A video over 256 MiB never got a thumbnail, and a smaller one was downloaded whole into
-  memory for one frame (B283).
+- **Photos zoomed all the way out shows the whole timeline.** The first 200 photos fit on one
+  screen there, and with nothing to scroll no more were loaded. More now load whenever the photos
+  don't fill the window, also after a zoom or a resize.
+
+- **My files comes back after the service was killed for hanging** (B279). A killed service left
+  its folders behind as dead mounts, and every restart then failed with `File exists` and retried
+  forever without opening anything, until the mounts were cleared by hand. The service now clears
+  a dead mount before it opens the folder. On a large account a restart that did open My files was
+  killed again, because loading the account took longer than the 2 minutes the service has to
+  report in. Startup now gets 10 minutes, and the 2 minutes apply again once the service answers.
+
+- **Uploading many large photos no longer runs the computer out of memory** (B280). Every image
+  upload decodes the whole picture to make its thumbnail, and up to 16 did so at once. A batch of
+  100-megapixel photos took about 9 GiB, filled the swap, and the service was killed on every
+  restart. Thumbnails now share 512 MiB between them: phone photos are still made side by side,
+  and a very large photo waits and is made on its own.
+
+- **Keep a file offline in an on-demand synced folder** (B281). `pdfs pin` and `pdfs unpin` now
+  accept a path in a synced folder such as `~/Pictures`. Before, they only took paths under the
+  Proton Drive mount, so the copy in the synced folder was downloaded again by every program that
+  read it.
+
+- **Files kept offline stay on this computer when they change elsewhere** (B282). A change from
+  another device, even a rename, deleted the copy of a file kept offline, and nothing downloaded
+  it again, so the next read downloaded it or failed without a network. Files added to a folder
+  kept offline from another device were never downloaded. The copy now stays until the new
+  version is downloaded, which happens on its own. Files kept offline are also checked at
+  startup and when the connection returns, and failed downloads are tried again.
+
+- **Large `.ts` recordings show and open as videos** (B283). An MPEG transport stream got the
+  text icon, no thumbnail, and the `@text` open rule. It now gets the video icon, a thumbnail
+  and the `@media` rule. A `.ts` of 1 MiB or more counts as a video, a smaller one stays
+  TypeScript source, and the daemon checks the stream's sync byte before it takes a frame.
+
+- **Videos over 256 MiB get a thumbnail** (B283). They never got one, and a smaller video was
+  downloaded whole into memory for one frame.
+
+- **A folder opens at the top.** A folder opened in My files, Shared with me or Computers could
+  open scrolled to where its parent was left, often at the bottom. Another folder, a new search
+  and a new Photos filter, album or place now start at the top, and a refresh keeps its place.
+
+- **Closing a photo opened from the Places map goes back to the map**, not to the town's
+  timeline.
+
+- **Albums and Places stay on screen.** They could switch to the timeline by themselves when a
+  timeline page arrived late, after an upload or after a trash Undo. Coming back to Photos no
+  longer reloads the timeline and loses its scroll position, unless photos changed while it was
+  out of sight. After an album or a place, the timeline came back unfiltered while the kind tab
+  and the date still showed the filter.
+
+- **A search in My files stays.** It was replaced by the folder's listing whenever files
+  changed, on refresh and on coming back to the page, while the query stayed in the box.
+
+- **The photo viewer's buttons are readable on any photo.** They were white on a see-through
+  white, and vanished over a bright photo. The bar now keeps only the favorite star, the details
+  and a menu, which names Slideshow, Save a Copy, Open With, Add to Album, Show on Map and Move to
+  Trash in words where eight icons stood. A shot stored as more than one file shows a "RAW" or
+  "Live" switch, or "2 of 3" for a burst, where an unlabelled icon was. The title reads
+  "Wednesday, October 7, 2026, 13:42" rather than a timestamp. Delete asks first, as it does in
+  the grid, and Alt+Left closes the viewer.
+
+- **A date jump in Photos stops when you look elsewhere.** A jump still loading the timeline
+  kept going after another filter, album or place was opened.
