fix(media): a played-out clip can play again; play button beside the Video File label

Reported 2026-11-05: "when I click Loop, the video doesn't play in the preview pane". Two
causes, both real:

- `VideoClipPipe.StartAsync` bailed out once it had run once (`_run != null`), so a clip that
  reached EOF could never be started again — it held its last frame forever.
- Loop is only consulted at end-of-file by a LIVE decoder, so flipping it on a finished clip
  did nothing at all.

Now: the pipe reports running state and is restartable after a natural end; the manager marks a
session finished (keeping its last frame) and exposes `IsRunning`/`RestartAsync`; the layer shows
`IsMediaRunning`/`IsMediaFinished`; flipping Loop on a finished clip restarts it.

UI: `▶ Play` sits to the right of the **Video File** label and is enabled only while Loop is off
(creator ruling: with Loop on the clip already runs continuously, so there is nothing to start).
The panel says "Clip finished — holding the last frame." so a frozen picture explains itself.

Also: verify.sh no longer runs physical-input tests by default. That test moves the real cursor
(SetCursorPos + mouse_event); running it mid-gate hijacks the machine someone is using, which is
exactly how it felt. Opt in with PHYSICAL_TESTS=1 when the desktop is idle; the header documents
the scoped-run command for working hours.

Test: `MediaPlaybackRestartTests` (pipe restart, finished state, Play again, Loop-on-finished).
8 scoped tests green. FULL SUITE NOT RUN — the machine was in use; run scripts/verify.sh in a
quiet window before the next milestone.
