With the global proxy switch on, footage that needs a proxy now gets
one generated in the background automatically — on import, on project
open, and when proxy use is enabled for a footage — instead of only
through the manual Generate menu action. Footage explicitly opted out
(a recorded proxy path with use disabled) and footage whose last
generation failed are not restarted; the generation path enables proxy
use so preview switches to the proxy as soon as it is ready.
The bin shows the lifecycle as a corner badge on each footage entry
(green P = ready, amber P = generating, red ! = failed; the widget
half lives in the gpui fork, submodule bumped here).
Includes a real-media test driving ProxyTask end-to-end on 4K H.265
4:2:2 10-bit (the media class the 4K playback lag was reported on):
180 s transcodes to a 720p proxy in ~25 s.
