Retried jobs leave the jobs page

Retry queued a new job but left the failed one under Recent with its Retry button. The listing now leaves out a failed or cancelled job once a later job of the same kind, episode and payload exists. The row and its timings stay.

Captions outlast clean-up

Clean-up deleted every saved transcript with the download, so downloading an episode again meant sending it to the transcription service again.

• Captions from the transcription service, with their word times and speaker turns, now stay on a cleaned-up episode for a year (CAPTIONS_DAYS in retention.py), then go unless someone keeps the episode.
• The feed's transcripts still go. On the next download they're fetched again and kept only for checking the captions, as before the clean-up.
• The episode page and captions.vtt leave kept captions out until there's a cut to fit them to.

A changed re-download is worked on afresh

Shows that insert ads per download send a different file each time, and everything after a changed ad moves. Re-downloads were reusing the old fingerprint (kept 30 days), hand cuts and captions, all timed to the old file.

• Episodes now store the SHA-256 of their download (migration 20, episodes.original_sha256).
• When a new download doesn't match, processing._new_download drops the fingerprint, where blocks play in it, the report and comparisons, hand cuts, kept "Don't cut this" stretches, and captions. The episode is then fingerprinted, compared and transcribed again.
• Blocks marked by hand and block types stay, since they're stored as fingerprints, not times.
• Episodes downloaded before this have no hash, so their next download is taken to be the same file and keeps everything. The hash is recorded from then on.

Tests

• Jobs page: Retry hides the failed job, and after the new job runs Recent shows only the finished one.
• Captions kept through clean-up, reused on the same file, deleted after a year, and hidden on the episode page while there's no cut.
• A different file is transcribed again.
• End to end: the same file re-downloaded keeps its fingerprint and hand cuts; a different file is fingerprinted and compared again, and its hand cuts and kept stretches are dropped.
• Migration hash registered in test_schema.py, and the upgrade test in test_web.py drops the new column too.
• The last full suite run had 251 passing and 2 failing. Both failures were the schema tests above; after fixing them those files pass, but the whole suite wasn't rerun. Ruff is clean.
