## Description

<!-- SECTION:DESCRIPTION:BEGIN -->
Create and integrate a dedicated secondary subtitle overlay window with independent lifecycle, z-order, bounds, and pointer policy, decoupled from primary visible/invisible overlay windows.
<!-- SECTION:DESCRIPTION:END -->

## Acceptance Criteria
<!-- AC:BEGIN -->
- [ ] #1 A third overlay window dedicated to secondary subtitles is created and managed alongside existing visible/invisible windows.
- [ ] #2 Secondary window visibility follows secondary mode semantics (`hidden`/`visible`/`hover`) independent of primary overlay visibility.
- [ ] #3 Secondary subtitle text/mode/style updates are routed directly to the secondary window renderer path.
- [ ] #4 Pointer passthrough/interaction behavior for secondary window is explicit and does not regress existing hover/selection interactions.
- [ ] #5 Window cleanup/lifecycle (create, close, restore) integrates with existing overlay runtime lifecycle.
