Tighten bottom UI, fix ch-bug/ticker/hamburger, reduce gradients

Layout:
- Move NOW PLAYING ticker into #np-strip above scrubber; #bb is controls-only at 46px
- --bot-h: 76px → 46px; #tc repositioned to clear new ticker strip
- #np-strip added to idle slide-out animation

Bug fixes:
- Channel bug (#ch-bug) now hides during title card display, restores after
- Reset A.npTitle/A.npArtist in loadCh() so ticker always updates on channel change
- Hamburger (☰) and C key always open to MY LIST tab

Visual:
- .gt gradient 140px → 72px, .gb gradient 220px → 140px (less intrusive)
