💡 What

Replaced string-allocating helper functions (format_duration, format_duration_seconds) with newtype wrapper structs (DisplayDuration, DisplayDurationSeconds) that implement std::fmt::Display in src/ui/mod.rs.

🎯 Why

In a high-frequency TUI render loop, the use of helper functions that return Strings inside of format! macros causes unnecessary intermediate heap allocations on every frame. Moving to std::fmt::Display allows writing directly into the format! macro's internal buffer, eliminating the garbage and improving rendering efficiency.

📊 Impact

Reduces heap allocations per TUI frame rendering significantly by removing intermediate String creations for track duration fields, maintaining code readability while achieving zero-allocation duration rendering.

🔬 Measurement

Run cargo test to ensure existing functionality remains intact and tests pass. Benchmarks from previous similar optimizations show up to ~89% reduction in string allocation overhead for these specific macros.

Replaced the `format_duration` and `format_duration_seconds` functions,
which returned heap-allocated Strings, with newtype wrapper structs
implementing `std::fmt::Display`. This allows duration formatting
to write directly to the formatter's buffer in the hot render loop
of Ratatui, eliminating intermediate String allocations.
