Add timestamp comment markers to the video timeline
Implements main app feature: comments appear as avatar markers on the video progress bar, with bubbles that surface on hover and show as playback crosses each timestamp automatically (like SoundCloud).
What this does
Data flow
Comments are fetched once on the server and drilled down, so no duplicate fetching between the timeline and the comment section
Hooks
useVideoTime(videoRef) — listens to loadedmetadata/durationchange, returns duration (the denominator for positioning)
useActiveComment(videoRef, comments) — listens to timeupdate + seeked, returns the active comment id for the current playhead position (latest-wins tiebreaker). Returns a primitive id (not the object) and bails on unchanged value, so re-renders only happen on actual active transitions, not every tick
Pure helper getTimelinePosition(timestamp, duration) handles the percent math and out-of-bounds filtering, kept separate as testable non-React logic.
