- Unread badge on the Podcasts tab via a new observable PodcastLibrary store
that mirrors PodcastIndex; all played/remove/generation mutations route
through it so the count stays live.
- Persist playback speed across sessions (UserDefaults), applied on setup.
- Sleep timer (15/30/45 min or end-of-episode) with a moon menu in the full
player; end-of-episode stops instead of auto-advancing.
- Persist the current episode + Up Next queue and restore a *paused* session on
launch; save position when backgrounding. Audio session is only claimed on
actual playback so a restored session never interrupts other audio.

Turns the Podcasts tab into a proper podcast-app experience across three
features that compose on a shared background-generation service.
Background generation (#2)
- New PodcastGenerationManager runs generate→poll→download off the player,
so producing a new episode never stops current playback.
- Headphone taps never interrupt: idle → generate-and-play in the foreground
(unchanged); already playing → generate in the background, episode lands in
the library. A "Generating…" banner surfaces active jobs.
Played/unplayed + queue (#1)
- PodcastEntry gains playedAt (old index.json decodes as unplayed).
- Podcasts tab splits into Up Next / Played with a Play All queue that
auto-advances; finishing marks played; swipe to toggle played state.
Share-extension audio (#3)
- "Create podcast" toggle on the save card, plus configurable Auto-Podcast
Tags in Settings. The extension enqueues a request into the App Group; the
main app drains it on launch/foreground and generates in the background.
