publicUrl() defaulted MEDIA_BASE to "/media" even with no env set, so cover
art on public share pages pointed at a /media path that only the old nginx
(Plesk) box served. In the containerized Coolify/Docker deploy nothing serves
/media, breaking those images. Return null when MEDIA_PUBLIC_BASE_URL is unset
so callers fall back to the app's own /api/public/.../cover route (the deploy
README already documents assets as app-served). Backward compatible: behavior
is unchanged when the env var is set.
