B3 (#175): pin the AAC arm every ordinary conversion takes

audioArgs has six arms. Five are named codecs with tests; AAC arrives through the `else`,
so nothing named it -- neither "aac" nor "192k" appeared anywhere in
FFmpegCommandBuilderTest. It is the audio MP4 and M4A get, which is to say the audio the
picker offers first and most conversions produce.

Both halves are asserted, and the bitrate is the half worth arguing for: an -b:a that
quietly changed would fail nothing, look wrong in no command line, and surface only as
files that sound different from the ones the app produced last month. Both mutations
confirmed red -- 192k -> 128k and aac -> libfdk_aac.

Asserted through MP4_H264 and M4A_AAC rather than one of them, so an AAC arm added above
the `else` later has to keep answering the same way for both.

**Deliberately not added here: an ENCODABLE_AUDIO-vs-audioArgs agreement test**, the
obvious companion to VideoCodecMimeAgreementTest. It would freeze the answer to F1, which
is open: ContainerCapabilities.kt:84 says "nothing here emits a Vorbis encoder" and
FFmpegCommandBuilder.kt:188 does. docs/coverage-read-findings.md says in terms that the
tempting fix there locks in the wrong answer and that the decision comes first. This is
the AAC arm only.

563 -> 564 JVM tests, 0 failures. No production code changed.

+ * ## The asymmetry this protects
+ *
+ * `ConcatPlanner` guards its video check against a null codec (`ConcatStrategy.kt:51`) and its
+ * audio check not at all (`:54`). **That is correct, not an oversight.** `MediaProbe.shortName`
+ * returns a non-null `String`, so in `concatInputFrom` a null `audioCodec` means the track is
+ * *absent* — and two clips with no audio genuinely do match. A null `videoCodec` carries both
+ * meanings, absent or unreadable, which is why only that one is guarded.
+ *
+ * So the audio check is safe *because* the video guard fires first on a clip nothing could read.
+ * Nothing wrote that coupling down and nothing held it.
+ *
+ * ## What this deliberately does not cover
+ *
+ * `probeForConcat`'s `catch` arm (`MediaProbe.kt:300-302`). It is **not reachable on the JVM**:
+ * Robolectric's `MediaExtractor` never throws from `setDataSource`, measured across an
+ * unregistered `content://` authority, a missing `file://`, a file of garbage bytes and an `http://`
+ * URL — all four returned normally with `trackCount = 0`. So the failure arrives here as an empty
+ * track list rather than as an exception, which reaches the same `ConcatInput(null, null, 0, 0, 0)`

+ * What happens when the hardware engine does not finish the job.

+ * `runMedia3OrFallBack` was eleven lines at 0% on the JVM and `isCancellation` had never been
+ * called by any unit test at all. Its own KDoc calls the fallback the protection against vendor
+ * hardware encoders that "cannot be tested for correctness", so it is the branch most likely to
+ * matter on a device nobody here owns — and it was reachable the whole time through
+ * `ConversionDependencies.hardware`, which no unit test had ever used.
+ *
+ * The sharp one is cancellation. `runMedia3OrFallBack` catches `Throwable`, so without the
+ * `isCancellation` re-throw a user cancelling a hardware transcode would have the app quietly
+ * start a *second* conversion in software — the one thing cancelling is supposed to prevent.
+ *
+ * `ForcedFailureTest` covers the failure half on a device. It does not cover the cancellation half,
+ * and this host cannot run it either way.
