Don't jump progress bars back on stale Plex/Jellyfin positions
CI / check (push) Canceled after 0s

Media servers only learn the position when the player checks in (~10s),
so a poll can return an old number. A position up to 12s behind our
running estimate is now treated as stale; positions ahead, or further
behind (a rewind), are taken as-is. Phone-reported positions are exact
and always taken.
