Timeline cannot zoom out far enough to show a long project #18

Description

@simplaerai-sv

The timeline zoom is clamped to a minimum of 4 px/s — in setZoom
(src/state/store.ts, Math.max(4, zoom)) and in the slider bound
(min={Math.log(4)} in Timeline.tsx).

On a 50-minute source that is not enough to ever see the project as a whole:

3025 s x 4 px/s = 12100 px of canvas
viewport        = ~1400 px
visible at once = ~5.8 minutes out of 50

There is also no "fit project to window" control, so no way around it.

Editing long-form material (lectures, talks, podcasts) means never seeing
the shape of the whole timeline — you navigate a 50-minute project through
a 6-minute window.

Suggestion: either lower the clamp (or derive it from project duration),
or add a fit-to-window button next to the zoom slider.

Environment: v0.5.1, Windows 11.
