What to build

The fill algorithm implementations for Alternating, Weighted, and Marathon already exist in the domain crate, but the schedule engine's resolve_block function may not dispatch to them yet. Wire the three new FillStrategy variants so they are actually used during schedule generation.

Verify the dispatch in resolve_block handles all 6 variants. Seed the InMemoryLibraryRepository with multi-series data and generate schedules that exercise each strategy. The Alternating strategy cycles through N series round-robin per day. Weighted favors fresh (unplayed) content. Marathon burns through one series from episode 1 in a single block.

Expose the new strategies via the MCP tools so an agent can create channels using them.

Acceptance criteria

resolve_block dispatches to all 6 FillStrategy variants (BestFit, Sequential, Random, Alternating, Weighted, Marathon)
Integration test: Alternating with 2 series produces interleaved episodes across days
Integration test: Weighted surfaces never-played items before recently-played ones
Integration test: Marathon fills a block with consecutive episodes from episode 1
MCP create_channel / update_channel accepts the new strategy variants
