When an iOS application is updated, the sandbox container UUID changes. Any absolute paths stored in the offline database pointing to the app's Documents folder (such as downloaded media files and local artwork images) become invalid, causing downloaded media to appear missing. This commit resolves the issue by: 1. Adding an `updateItemPaths` method to `OfflineRepository`. 2. Implementing a startup migration helper in `injection.dart` to automatically translate stored absolute paths containing the old UUID to the current container path. 3. Adding unit tests for the iOS path migration helper.

Summary
Resolves an issue on iOS where downloaded offline media files and artwork images become inaccessible after the app is upgraded. Because iOS updates regenerate the application's container UUID, any stored absolute paths in the offline database referencing the old container path break.
This change introduces a startup migration routine that queries the current application documents path and automatically translates any stored absolute database paths containing a legacy UUID to the current container path, while leaving non-sandbox and other platforms' paths untouched.
