Summary

• Reduce perceived jank when opening the Now Playing sheet by trimming heavy UI work and pre-warming the full player content.
• Add a “Keep playing after closing” preference (Appearance section) with an On/Off selector styled to match other list cards.
• Wire the background playback preference into the music service so removing the app from recents respects the toggle.

Testing

• Build
• Manual: toggle background playback On → remove app from recents → playback continues
• Manual: toggle background playback Off → remove app from recents → playback stops
