Dev/v1.8 (#18)

* ADD: Material 3 responsive UI revamp, right-side quick switcher, and new artist profile screen with Top Songs + Albums + Singles/EPs; UPDATE: Theme system to dynamic seed-color theming (glass removed), search flow to include Albums section, and full player artist tap to support multi-artist picker navigation; FIX: Mini-player/navigation overlap issues, duplicate Quick Picks song heading, artist profile load failures, unknown artist labels in artist release song flows

* FIX: initialize Settings seed color picker sliders from ARGB byte channels (0..255) instead of normalized doubles, artist parser now splits on and/with and spaced x only, preserving one-letter names like 'X Ambassadors'

* UPDATE: SECURITY.md & version.json
