feat: embedded subtitles in the video player (MNP 3.3)
MSE decodes no in-band text track, so a subtitle cannot ride inside the fragmented MP4 the player is fed. The node extracts one track whole, converts it to WebVTT and caches it under its own hash; the client pulls that blob through the ordinary file_req/chunk path and hangs a <track> on the video element — the same indirection as a TMDB poster or an audio transcode, which is what makes a film's subtitles extracted once in the life of the file rather than once per viewing. Whole-file also makes the cues absolute, so a seek and an audio-language change both leave the track untouched. **The ordinal counts every subtitle stream, including the ones never listed.** Only text codecs are offered: a bitmap track (PGS, VOBSUB — about a fifth of a real library) has no path to WebVTT without OCR, and one extracted anyway yields a header with no cues, which is a menu entry that shows nothing and reports no error. Numbering the survivors of that filter would give a PGS/SRT/SRT file the ordinals 0 and 1 for its text tracks and `-map 0:s:0` would then extract the PGS — the same trap `AudioTrack.ordinal` exists for, one level deeper. A fixture whose first subtitle stream cannot be decoded pins it, and the handler checks membership of the probed list, never a range. Additive and MINOR: the selector is drawn from `subtitle_tracks` in the node's own `stream_init` and from no version number, so `subtitle_req` is never sent to a peer that would not answer it. The floor stays at 3.0. Also here: a failed extraction never touches playback, a superseded reply cannot install its blob over a newer choice, and `_languageName` is shared with the audio labels — lifted by both label harnesses, since a lift that names one function stops covering the rule the moment logic moves out of it. Tests: 9 node (tracks told apart by the words in the extracted cues, not by tags), 10 client. Full suite green: 1545 node/common, 1252 hub.
