fix: resolve type safety issues and improve error handling (#4216)

- Fix TypeScript type error in decoder.ts getChannelData method
- Replace recursion with iteration in fetcher.ts to prevent stack overflow
- Improve error emission in wavesurfer.ts constructor
- Add error handling for fetch failures in webaudio.ts
- Fix variable shadowing in wavesurfer.ts exportPeaks method
- Improve null safety in dragToSeek handling

All tests passing (81/81) and ESLint validation clean.
