… Weekly Implement the audio_service media-browser hooks so Android Auto (and other media browsers) can browse the library and start playback: - getChildren exposes Liked Songs, a "Browse" folder (the home / "Made for you" hub — including Discover Weekly, fetched via browse.sectionItems since the section preview omits it), and the user's saved playlists. - Collections are browsable into their track list with a "Play all" entry; tapping a track plays the collection from that point. - playFromMediaId resolves the selection and plays through the existing AudioPlayerNotifier.load pipeline. - Add an explicit shuffle MediaControl + custom action (Android Auto does not reliably render a toggle from the standard ACTION_SET_SHUFFLE_MODE alone). - Retry auth-sensitive requests: the stored token is often stale on cold start and the first call 401s before the plugin refreshes it. - Browse-item artwork uses http(s) URLs only — the media-browser process cannot read app-private file:// paths. The MediaBrowserService and automotive_app_desc.xml were already declared in the manifest, so no native changes are required.

Summary
Adds Android Auto (and general media-browser) support: you can browse your
library and start playback from the car head unit, including the "Made for you"
hub.
What you get
how Discover Weekly / Daily Mixes / Release Radar are reached — they are
not returned by
me/playlists; they come frombrowse.sectionItems(thesection preview from
browse.sectionsomits them).tapping a track plays the collection from that point.

Depends on
The headless cold-start fix (#3063) — without it the app hangs when
Android Auto cold-starts it. Recommend merging that first (or together).
Testing
Built and exercised via the Desktop Head Unit on a Pixel 9 Pro: browse →
Made For You → Discover Weekly → Play all, plus shuffle and tap-to-play-from-track.
