Detection now runs off the UI isolate and covers every platform where the answer can be trusted. Availability was a plain platform check, so Linux always listed VLC, mpv and Celluloid, macOS always listed VLC and IINA, and Windows always listed VLC and PotPlayer whether or not any of them existed. Each player now has a detector that asks exactly the question its launcher asks: `sh -c 'command -v'` for PATH launches so the kernel performs the executable check, NSWorkspace/Launch Services for `open -a`, `where.exe` plus the concrete install paths for Windows VLC, and the registered URL handler for PotPlayer and the iOS players. Detection is asynchronous and memoised behind KnownPlayers.probe rather than a Process.runSync in a static initialiser, which forked three shells on the UI isolate during ExternalPlayerScreen.build. It is prewarmed from startup, fails open when a probe throws, and keeps the selected player listed when a detector misses it so a false negative cannot leave the list with nothing selected. iOS and tvOS gained LSApplicationQueriesSchemes entries for vlc and infuse. Without them canOpenURL returns false for both schemes, so _launchUrlScheme was already refusing to hand off to either player. Android keeps the platform check: package visibility needs native declarations, and a wrong answer there hides a working player.
