✨ Key Improvements & Fixes

• 🎧 Player Stability Correction: Resolved inconsistencies where player state flows were not correctly based on the current player instance. The player state flows now accurately reflect the initial playing state.
• ♻️ Enhanced Thread Management (Resource Cleanup): Implemented explicit stop thread calls to reliably clean up Handler callbacks after the decoding is done. This resolves potential resource leaks and ensures the visualizer thread stops immediately upon extraction completion.
• 🎛️ Media Controller Refinements (Fixing ANRs): The Media Controller setup is now more reliable by moving the Media Session configuration to the Callbacks.

🐞 Issue & PR Reference

Bug Fixes:

• Resolved an issue with the audio player screen visualization (further improvements for longer files are still being investigated).
• Proper cancellation of audio decoder when the user leaves the screen
• Fixed inconsistencies in category-based recording counts in case user opts in or opts out external recordings

Visualization Improvements:

• Switched to using the audio record class for visualization, moving away from amplitude-based values for rendering
• Implemented an extra fade-out animation for the splash screen for a smoother transition.

Enhancements & Updates:

• Updated project dependencies to their latest stable versions.
• Added functionality to directly open recorded files from notifications for quicker access.
• Moved storage statistics to data layer so reducing Jank while moving to file settings.
• Removed the redundant "cancelled recording" notification.
