fix(tv): scale option-modal cards with text size + honor cardWidth

The TV option modal hardcoded the card size to scaleSize(160)/(75),
ignoring the caller's cardWidth/cardHeight and never growing with the
user's text-scale setting. With "Large" text, long values (e.g. a
root-folder path) overflowed the fixed card and were truncated. Honor
the provided cardWidth/cardHeight and multiply by the text scale
(new useTVRelativeScale) so the card grows in step with the font.

 ## Detail
 
-The `useNetworkAwareQueryClient` hook uses `Object.create(queryClient)` which breaks QueryClient methods that use JavaScript private fields (like `getQueriesData`, `setQueriesData`, `setQueryData`). Only use it when you ONLY need `invalidateQueries`. For cache manipulation, use standard `useQueryClient` from `@tanstack/react-query`.
+**Updated 2026-06-29**: This limitation no longer applies. The hook was rewritten to use a `Proxy` (not `Object.create`). It overrides only `invalidateQueries` (network-aware) / `forceInvalidateQueries`, and binds every other method to the real `queryClient` target (`value.bind(target)`). So private-field methods like `getQueriesData`, `setQueryData`, and `removeQueries` work correctly through it now — no need to fall back to a separate `useQueryClient`. (Confirmed when adding `queryClient.removeQueries` to `clearAllJellyseerData` in `hooks/useJellyseerr.ts`.)
+
+Historical (pre-2026-06): the hook used `Object.create(queryClient)`, which broke methods relying on JavaScript private fields; back then only `invalidateQueries` was safe.

+
-             * =====================
+            // mpv config directory — used by the config-dir option below and
-             * 1. Android's font system is isolated from native libraries like mpv. While Android has system fonts,
+            // as XDG_CONFIG_HOME for fontconfig.
-             *    mpv cannot access them directly due to sandboxing and library isolation.
-             *
-             * 2. SubRip subtitles require a font to render text overlay on video. When no font is available in the
-             *    configured directory, mpv either:
-             *    - Fails silently (subtitles don't appear)
-             *    - Falls back to a default font that may not support the required character set
-             *    - Crashes or produces rendering errors
-             *
-             * 3. By placing a font file (font.ttf) in mpv's config directory and setting that directory via
-             *    MPVLib.setOptionString("config-dir", ...), we ensure mpv has a known, accessible font source.
-             *
-             * Reference:
-             * =========
-             * This workaround is documented in the mpv-android project:
-             * https://github.com/mpv-android/mpv-android/issues/96
-             *
-             * The issue discusses that without a font in the config directory, SubRip subtitles fail to load
-             * properly on Android, and the solution is to copy a font file to a known location that mpv can access.

- * Wrapper around the dev.jdtech.mpv.MPVLib class.
+ * Per-instance wrapper around the dev.jdtech.mpv.MPVLib class.
- * This provides a consistent interface for the rest of the app.
+ *
+ * libmpv 1.0 exposes an instance-based API: each `LibMPV.create(ctx)` returns
+ * a fresh, independent handle. Each player creates its own MPVLib instance
+ * (Findroid pattern) and on teardown we simply drop the reference. We do NOT
+ * call `LibMPV.destroy()` — its native implementation has an internal
+ * use-after-free on libmpv 1.0 that we cannot fix from Kotlin. Letting the
+ * GC reach the JVM-level finalizer (or never reaching it, since the native
+ * handle lives in process-global state until exit) is strictly safer than
+ * crashing.
+ *
+ * Trade-off: mpv's native footprint (decoder + demuxer cache) for one player
+ * stays allocated until the next player's allocation displaces it in scudo's
+ * arena. On a TV app where the player is the dominant memory consumer and
+ * only one player is alive at a time, this is acceptable.
