fix(ui): one transport for every control, and a queue panel that fits

The queue panel drove the playback store directly, so its buttons played
locally while another device held the audio. Both control sets now go
through one transport that forwards a press when the audio is elsewhere.

The panel's artwork is capped against viewport height too: at full width
on a phone the square alone pushed Up Next off the screen.
