Claude f4d309a0d4 Apply a playlist change even when the outgoing item never advances
Replacing the single item of a one-item playlist did nothing. The old promo, board or clip kept
playing while the dashboard showed the new playlist published and the device perfectly healthy —
only a reboot or a manual refresh cleared it.

#157 defers a rotation so a live item is not yanked mid-play, and applies it "on the next natural
advance". For a one-item playlist there is no such thing, by design: single-item rendering
deliberately never advances. A video gets `loop = (playlist.length === 1)` and so never fires
`ended`; a YouTube embed loops for the same reason and skips its safety net; a solo widget is "held"
on a self-re-arming refresh that never calls nextItem, because reloading it would reset a directory
board's scroll. Tizen is worse still — `single` makes every renderer skip its timer, so images
freeze too.

Two guards, the same pair already applied to the Android controller:

- A one-item playlist is never deferred. There is nothing to protect from being cut off, since
  nothing was going to advance anyway.
- Any deferral that does happen gets a 60-second deadline. The deferral is a bet that an advance is
  coming; if the bet loses, the change must still land rather than strand the screen on content the
  operator has already replaced.

Verified in headless Chrome: a one-item playlist holding a solo widget (the "held" case that never
advances), its only item replaced with a different widget — the screen followed, with no reload and
no restart. Before the change it stayed on the replaced item indefinitely.
