Video playback and transition stability improvements:
- Lightweight MP4 prefetch queue (neutral + likely next clips) to reduce wait times during switches
- Earlier transition on canplay (instead of canplaythrough) for faster, smoother swaps
- Context-aware throttling to prevent rapid switching under load (speaking: ~200ms, listening: ~250ms, dancing: ~600ms, neutral: ~1200ms)

Fixed

Safe revert on failed play() during a switch to avoid frozen frames
Aligned event listeners to canplay and ensured proper cleanup to prevent leaks
