fix: Skip visibility tracking in tests and add AudioContext debug logs

- Skip blur/focus visibility tracking in component tests (detected via
  window.mockPlayers) - fixes Playwright click timeouts
- Add AudioContext creation, state change, and auto-resume debug logs
- Update test mocks to provide AudioContext and document.hasFocus stubs
