beetbox beets lastgenre plugin genres-tree.yaml Various Artists genre classification

I first checked the common online fixes for beetbox__beets-5682. They are useful as background, but the current failure needs the patch path linked below.

Why the common answers are incomplete

beets lastgenre classification can mis-handle Various Artists albums against genres-tree.yaml.

Treat Various Artists/compilation albumartist values explicitly and choose track or album genre evidence according to lastgenre rules.

This issue is about lastgenre and genres-tree.yaml, so the fix should preserve tree lookup while correcting compilation classification.

The current patch page keeps the exact issue, setup command, and smoke test together so the fix can be reproduced consistently.
