feat(playlists): For You composition v2 — multi-seed blend + weighted fresh tail
test-go / test (push) Successful in 29s
test-go / integration (push) Successful in 4m37s

Two approved composition changes (#1269), mechanism only — the
taste/fresh share stays data-decided (#1252) and pick_kind
attribution is unchanged.

Multi-seed blending: each day's build now seeds from up to 3 of the
user's top-5 tracks (pickDailySeeds, the generalized daily shuffle)
instead of one rotating anchor, so the mix spans neighborhoods within
a day and stops feeling bipolar as the rotation swings between
dissimilar seeds. Per-seed pools merge first-seen-deduped; the head
is filled best-first under 50/30/20 per-seed quotas (60/40 for two
seeds) so one neighborhood can't monopolize it, with thin-seed quota
spilling best-first.

Score-weighted fresh tail: the tail sample (rank 2*headN onward) was
uniform — the 380th-best candidate as likely as the 101st. It now
uses deterministic Efraimidis-Spirakis keys with weight halving every
50 ranks, so freshness keeps its "you'll probably enjoy this" half
while still rotating daily.

The retired single-seed picker's one other caller, You-might-like,
moves to pickDailySeeds(n=1) — a single neighborhood per day is right
for a short shelf, and the behavior note is inline.
