Brandon ThomasandClaude Opus 5.5 5823e22e89 M4.6: cancel frame jobs playback no longer needs (stale in-flight jobs, prefetch after Stop)
- filmcraft_media::cancel: a per-job cancellation flag passed through a thread-local, so the
  MediaSource API is unchanged. Frame workers run each job inside it.
- FrameServer::retain_queue (called by schedule_playback every refresh) now also cancels running
  jobs for frames the playhead has passed. Before, a worker blocked on a source's decoder lock
  went on to decode its frame after playback had moved 50–100 frames on, found it evicted and
  restarted the decoder at the keyframe (decoder trace: "seek i=32 key=0 next=142").
- GopCache gives up (CodecError/MediaError::Cancelled) before seeking or decoding for a cancelled
  job and between samples; decoder state stays consistent, so the next request carries on.
- The CPU compositor checks the flag between tracks and effects; cancelled results are never
  cached.
- Stop drops queued prefetch jobs and cancels running ones (FrameServer::stop_prefetch). They
  used to run to completion after Stop, e.g. 14 frames of live effects rendering competing with
  a Render In to Out started right after.
