Save a position only from a player that has played since its last save

Browse Source 
A tab left paused further into an episode saved its older place as it
reloaded, over where the listener had got to since, and the episode
dropped out of Currently Listening. A jump back is now saved at once.

## 2026-09-15 — A player nobody was listening to, saving over one that was
After 0.6.0 the Kristen Bell episode dropped out of Currently Listening again, with eleven
minutes left in the player. Its saved position was 41:15 of a file 43:48 long, 94% and finished
by any measure, while the listener was at about 32:48. The first guess was a wrong length from
the feed, and it was wrong: the feed does say 41:23, but no length makes 41:15 unfinished.
The log had the answer. Saves every ten seconds while it played, then two that were not
playback: one beside the only request for the file since the restart, and the last in the same
millisecond as a page load. A player left paused further on, in another tab or on another
device, saved its own place as its page reloaded. Every save goes through `savePos`, and it
saved whatever the player held whether or not anyone had played it since.
`savePos` now saves only once the player has played since its last save, so an idle one never
writes, and only playing counts: the seek to where you left off happens paused, and counting it
would save back whatever the list said, however old. A jump back is also saved at once, where
the ten-second check only ever looked forward. The fixture audio does not decode, so the browser
test stands in for a loaded player and counts what `savePos` sends.
The feed's length, 2 minutes 25 seconds short of the file, still moves this episode's 90% line
earlier than the player's. Not fixed here; the measured length only fills in a missing one.
## 2026-09-15 — Currently Listening, empty for anyone who opens what they play
Issue #14: an episode 32 minutes into 41 was missing from Currently Listening, which said nothing
