Problem

A mismatched playblast (its length or aspect ratio differs from the Shot's) shows an amber dot and a "Mismatched" badge in the Shot's previz panel. Nothing else tells the filmmaker:

Queueing a Take sends a mismatched playblast to H3 with no warning.
The Animatic plays a mismatched playblast with no hint on the stage (noted in #177).

Off-ratio Keyframes have the same gap. The module doc in crates/studio-core/src/keyframes.rs says off_ratio is a flag "which queuing a Take reports when it sends them", but nothing in core or the UI reports it at queue time. Only the Keyframe strip shows it.

What to build

Queueing a Take reports each sent input that doesn't fit the Shot: a mismatched playblast and an off-ratio Keyframe. Queueing still goes ahead. This is a warning, not a refusal.
The Animatic stage marks a Shot block that plays a mismatched playblast, for example with the amber dot's tooltip text.

Acceptance criteria

Integration test: queueing a Take with a mismatched playblast returns a warning that names it, and so does queueing one with an off-ratio Keyframe
The queue UI shows the warning
The Animatic marks a mismatched playblast
The keyframes.rs module doc matches the behaviour
