fix(player): restore premiere seeking across playback engines - #1740
Conversation
Use the Android DASH manifest when the built-in WEB response only provides a short HLS window. Retry limited authenticated yt-dlp live streams anonymously while retaining the first playable stream if retries fail.

- [FIX] Premiere seeking: Built-in playback now uses Android DASH when WEB DASH is unavailable, and yt-dlp retries limited live streams without cookies while retaining the first playable stream if retries fail.
- [API] Android live manifests: Extracts and deciphers Android DASH alongside HLS for playback selection.
- [TEST] Premiere playback coverage: Adds checks for manifest selection and yt-dlp retries with preferred/default clients and failed anonymous extraction.

- Line 1030: Update the limited-source selection in the yt-dlp playback flow to
retain the first source unless a later source upgrades it from incomplete to
complete. Ensure `limitedLiveSource` prefers a complete source over an earlier
incomplete one, including when anonymous extraction fails.

Description
Running premieres could hide the seek bar because both built-in extraction and authenticated yt-dlp selected a stream containing only the last 30 seconds.
Use the Android DASH manifest when built-in HLS has no seekable duration marker or its rewind window is limited to 30 seconds, preserving longer HLS windows. For limited yt-dlp live streams, try authenticated default clients before a final retry without cookies, and retain the first playable stream if those retries fail.
Release note category
Release note
Restore seeking during running premieres with built-in extraction and yt-dlp when Always use cookies is enabled.

Additional context
Reproduced and verified on Nico’s laptop with both engines. Added regression coverage for manifest selection, default-client fallback, and preserving authenticated playback when anonymous extraction fails.
