AmanTahiliani	c2617d39bb	feat: add replay track map scrubber Spike: replay location fan-out is bounded with a semaphore at 4 concurrent GetLocation calls, covered by TestAssembleReplayFramesBoundsLocationFanOut. Adds /api/v1/replay/frames with 5s interval floor, 3000-frame cap, nearest-sample snapping, and empty-driver omission. Wires RaceStoryCanvas to lazy-load replay frames plus cached track outlines when the map panel opens, sharing the existing scrubber/playback state across chart and map.
