Summary

A bundle of small, expected podcast-app behaviors. Each is independently
shippable; grouped here to keep the tracker tidy.

Checklist

Unread badge on the Podcasts tab — show the count of unplayed episodes
(PodcastIndex.all().filter { !$0.isPlayed }.count) via .badge(...) on the
Podcasts Tab in MarksApp. Refresh on played-state changes.
Remember playback speed — PodcastPlayerViewModel.playbackSpeed resets
to 1.0 every session. Persist it (UserDefaults/@AppStorage) and apply on
setupPlayer.
Sleep timer — end-of-episode / 15·30·45 min options in the full player;
pause playback when it fires. New state on the player VM + a menu next to the
speed control.
Persist the Up Next queue — PodcastPlayerViewModel.queue is in-memory;
killing the app mid-queue loses it. Persist the queue (+ current episode) and
restore on launch.

Motivation

Individually minor, collectively these are the difference between "a player" and
"a podcast app."
