Make each queue item expandable to show what has been discovered about it before it encodes: resolved title / show+episode, source media type, audio+subtitle streams, duration.

This needs that data pre-fetched for queued files, not just at encode time. Proposal: a background indexing pass that, per settled queued file, probes streams (ffprobe) + duration and fetches OMDb/TVmaze metadata, cached keyed by path+mtime; /status exposes per-item metadata and the UI renders accordions.

Notes/caveats:

Reuses the duration-cache pattern from #9 — could generalise into one per-file index cache.
Pre-indexing means earlier external API calls (OMDb daily limit, TVmaze); fetch once per file, cache, tolerate failures (no metadata is fine).
Pairs with the queue 'show all' issue.
