Staging is no longer forced under the library. The worker reads STAGING_ROOT
(container path, default /music/.staging) and stages per-job downloads there;
docker-compose mounts ${STAGING_DIR:-${MUSIC_DIR}/.staging} at /staging with
STAGING_ROOT=/staging. Set STAGING_DIR to a fast local disk when the library
(MUSIC_DIR) is a network share so temp download I/O stays off the share.
Safe cross-volume: import_album already assembles into a temp dir on the
library volume and swaps atomically there, so partial downloads never touch
the library and the final swap stays atomic. clear_staging_root now clears the
root's contents (mount-safe) rather than removing the root. Documented in
.env.example; new tests cover the separate-root path.
