* fix: handle cross-library relative paths in playlists Playlists can now reference songs in other libraries using relative paths. Previously, relative paths like '../Songs/abc.mp3' would not resolve correctly when pointing to files in a different library than the playlist file. The fix resolves relative paths to absolute paths first, then checks which library they belong to using the library regex. This allows playlists to reference files across library boundaries while maintaining backward compatibility with existing single-library relative paths.

The library matcher should always find the correct library, including the playlist's own library. If this fails, we now return an invalid resolution instead of attempting a fallback validation. This simplifies the code by removing redundant validation logic that was masking test setup issues. Also fixes test mock configuration to properly set up library paths that match folder LibraryPath values. * refactor: consolidate path resolution logic Collapse resolveRelativePath and resolveAbsolutePath into a unified resolvePath function, extracting common library matching logic into a new findInLibraries helper method. This eliminates duplicate code (~20 lines) while maintaining clear separation of concerns: resolvePath handles path normalization (relative vs absolute), and findInLibraries handles library matching. Update tests to call resolvePath directly with appropriate parameters, maintaining full test coverage for both absolute and relative path scenarios.
