Improve TalkBack accessibility for app volume rows and stabilize compact list visibility

[Copilot]

Blind/TalkBack users reported two blockers: the compact app list reorders/jumps as playback state changes (notably TTS), and volume controls are not exposed as focusable/adjustable slider controls. This update targets those behaviors with minimal Compose changes.

• Compact list stability (reduce focus-jump churn)

  • Added hasBeenPlayingRecently to App.
  • This state is set to true when playback is active (isPlaying = true) and decays back to false after a short delay (10 seconds) once playback stops.
  • In AppVolumeList, compact mode (showAll = false) now shows apps based on hasBeenPlayingRecently instead of all inactive players, preserving intended compact behavior while reducing rapid row disappearance that causes accessibility focus jumps.

• Expose custom slider as an accessible adjustable control

  • TrackSlider now publishes slider/progress semantics via progressSemantics(...).
  • Added merged semantics on the slider container so TalkBack treats the row control as an interactive element rather than fragmented text-like content.

• Improve slider spoken context

  • AppVolumeSlider now sets explicit semantics:
    • contentDescription = app.name
    • stateDescription = "<volume>%"
  • This gives TalkBack a clear target label + current value when focused.

TrackSlider(
    modifier = Modifier
        .weight(1f)
        .semantics {
            contentDescription = app.name
            stateDescription = "${(app.volume * 100).roundToInt()}%"
        },
    value = app.volume,
    onValueChange = { value -> app.volume = value }
)

I think the original reporter means when changing volume of one app, the whole list re-compose, and the accessibility focus jumps to the first list item, check whether this is an issue, and fix it if it is.

This is not how it's intended to work.

It makes sense to reduce jumping, but should be done by adding a hasBeenPlayingRecently to App class that sets to true along with isPlaying, but sets to false after a delay (like 10 seconds).

Done in 50622a1. I replaced the compact-list change with App.hasBeenPlayingRecently, set true when playback is active and reset after a 10-second delay, and compact mode now filters on that state. Screenshot: unable to capture an Android UI screenshot in this headless environment.

Implemented in 50622a1. Compact mode now uses a 10s hasBeenPlayingRecently window so rows don’t disappear immediately when playback state changes, which reduces accessibility focus jumps during list recomposition. Screenshot: unable to capture an Android UI screenshot in this headless environment.

Just check hasBeenPlayingRecently here. Do not filter apps list multiple times.

Done in e99455a. I moved the hasBeenPlayingRecently check into the existing single pass and build compact players there, so compact mode no longer re-filters apps. Screenshot: unable to capture in this headless environment (browser instance is locked by another session).
