bugfix and security harden

Security fixes:
- Add filename path traversal validation (missing "/" check)
- Prevents attacks like filename="../../../etc/passwd"

Race condition and concurrency fixes:
- Add async locking to get_jobs_snapshot() to prevent dictionary iteration errors
- Fix watchdog loop to detect process completion immediately (move sleep to end)
- Fix EventSource ref updates during SSE reconnection to prevent memory leaks

Precision and calculation fixes:
- Keep duration as float instead of int for accurate bitrate calculations (~1% improvement)
- Prevents cumulative rounding errors in compression

Type safety improvements:
- Import and use Any from typing module instead of lowercase "any"
- Fixes Python type hints for proper static analysis

Media handling improvements:
- Determine MIME types dynamically using mimetypes module
- Supports MOV (video/quicktime), AVI, PNG properly instead of hardcoded types

UX fixes:
- Fix formatETA() to handle 0 seconds correctly (was showing "--" instead of "0m 0s")
- Use stable key for React video element (prevents unnecessary remounts)
