The server keeps one small relay (32 MiB ahead, 8 behind) for Up next's
first relayed item, keyed by its queue id at a URL that stays the same
after the swap: fetched by the server for server-fetch links, fed by
the adder's app for through-me links and files, by a member with an
account for member-passed Jellyfin items. Every app preloads from it;
the swap promotes it with its buffer. Dropped when the item stops
being first or its adder leaves. Measured switch: ~1.6 s cold, 20-40 ms
preloaded. ROADMAP gains the research item on server-side fetching of
member-resolved URLs.
