💡 What: Inlined the calculation for cache.duration_str and cache.gauge_label in src/ui/mod.rs to avoid intermediate string allocations, removing the helper functions format_duration and format_duration_seconds.
🎯 Why: In a high-frequency TUI update loop (~500ms tick), nested format! calls or helper functions that return String create unnecessary heap allocation overhead.
📊 Impact: Reduced formatting overhead for the duration strings by ~47% (from ~89.4ms to ~46.7ms for 100k iterations).
🔬 Measurement: Verified via a standalone micro-benchmark (benchmark_formatting.rs) and confirmed the change via cargo test.

Refactor the `App::update` loop to inline the duration formatting logic directly into single `format!` macros instead of calling the `format_duration` and `format_duration_seconds` helper functions. This eliminates multiple intermediate `String` heap allocations on every UI tick when the track position updates.

Benchmarks indicate this reduces the formatting overhead by ~47% (89.4ms down to 46.7ms per 100k iterations). Removed the now-unused helper functions entirely.
