Settings gets a "Precompute Video Lengths" button that walks the whole
library in a background thread, populating every course's persistent
ffprobe duration cache up front instead of paying that cost the first
time each course card is viewed. Progress polls live while it runs and
picks back up correctly if you navigate away mid-scan.
Separately, the loaded-course lesson tree only ever showed a lesson's
duration once you'd actually played it (from progress.json) - a freshly
opened course had no time info anywhere, including the course header's
"~X remaining" line, which existed but was always empty as a result.
apply_progress_to_tree now falls back to the same ffprobe cache for any
lesson without a known duration yet, so per-lesson lengths and the
remaining-time estimate work from the very first visit. Refactored the
duration-cache read/write into a shared helper so the library browser,
the prewarm button, and this tree view all go through one path.
