TASK-77	Subtitle hover: auto-pause playback with config toggle	Done		2026-02-28 22:43	2026-02-28 22:43			medium	8000

Description

Add a user-facing subtitle config option to pause mpv playback when the cursor hovers subtitle text and resume playback when the cursor leaves.

Scope:

• New config key: subtitleStyle.autoPauseVideoOnHover.
• Default should be enabled.
• Hover pause/resume must not unpause if playback was already paused before hover.
• Docs/examples/tests updated.

Acceptance Criteria

• #1 subtitleStyle.autoPauseVideoOnHover exists and defaults to true.
• #2 Overlay pauses playback on subtitle hover and resumes on leave only when hover-triggered pause occurred.
• #3 Main/renderer IPC exposes pause-state query for safe hover behavior.
• #4 Config docs/examples and user docs/readme mention the new behavior and toggle.
• #5 Regression tests cover config parsing/validation and hover behavior edge cases.

Final Summary

Implemented subtitleStyle.autoPauseVideoOnHover with default true, wired through config defaults/resolution/types, renderer state/style, and mouse hover handlers. Added playback pause-state IPC (getPlaybackPaused) to avoid false resume when media was already paused. Added renderer hover behavior tests (including race/cancel case) and config/resolve tests. Updated config examples and docs (README, usage, shortcuts, mining workflow, configuration) to document default hover pause/resume behavior and disable path.
