M4A files store the iTunSMPB value behind a 16-byte binary 'data' atom
header. The previous parser took bytes directly after the ASCII key,
landing in the binary header and producing a corrupted parts array
(total_valid=348 instead of ~13M samples), which caused take_duration
to exhaust the source in ~8ms — silent no-playback.
Fix: search for the " 00000000 " sentinel within 128 bytes of the key
to locate the actual value string, falling back to the old offset for
ID3v2/MP3 files where no binary header exists.
Also patches symphonia-format-isomp4 (local crate under patches/) to:
- Tolerate SL descriptor predefined=0x01 (older iTunes M4A)
- Convert descriptor.unwrap() panic to a proper decode error
- Gracefully skip malformed trak atoms (e.g. MJPEG cover-art streams)
instead of failing the entire probe

The previous optimization skipped all rate-switch logic in standard mode,
but left the stream at e.g. 88.2 kHz if Hi-Res was toggled off mid-session.
Fix: store device_default_rate (from cold-start open) in AudioEngine.
In audio_play, compute target_rate = hi_res ? output_rate : device_default_rate
and reopen only when target differs from current — no-op cost when already
at the right rate (the common case in pure standard mode).

Stream switch: skip entirely when hi_res_enabled=false. Previously the
engine compared 44100 vs. device-default 48000 Hz and re-opened the device
on every track start — unnecessary IPC + PipeWire reconfigure in safe mode.
MSS buffer: 512 KB in standard mode (was 4 MB). For in-memory MP3/AAC
the large buffer caused eager allocation competing with playback startup.
4 MB is kept only for hi-res (high-bitrate FLAC benefits from fewer reads).
ThreadPriority: no longer set Max at audio-stream-thread startup. Max is
now applied only when a hi-res reopen is requested, keeping the scheduler
budget for the actual decode threads during standard playback.
audio_preload: 8 s throttle delay + gen guard so background pre-fetch does
not compete with the decode/sink-feed cycle of the just-started track.
needs_prefill: now gated on hi_res_enabled to make the condition explicit.

The native-tls backend (macOS Security framework) was failing with
'bad protocol version' when connecting to HTTPS music servers.
Switching to rustls (statically linked, no system dependency) fixes
playback on macOS and ensures consistent TLS 1.2/1.3 support across
all platforms.

Incorporates PRs #38 (nisarg-78), #42#43#44 (JulianNymark) with fixes:
Audio / Playback
- Artist Radio starts immediately from fast getTopSongs (local library);
getSimilarSongs2 (Last.fm) enriches queue in background — no more wait
- Fix seek audio glitch: EqualPowerFadeIn only resets to zero-gain on
seeks to track start (<100 ms); all other seeks resume at unity gain
- OGG/Vorbis container support via symphonia-format-ogg (PR #42)
- Human-readable audio error messages in SizedDecoder (PR #44)
- Audio playback errors shown as themed toast notifications (PR #43)
Queue / Radio
- Infinite Queue: proactive load of 5 tracks (was 25) when ≤2 remain
- Radio: proactive reload at ≤2 remaining tracks, independent of
Infinite Queue setting — radio no longer stops at last track
- Fix: clicking Start Radio multiple times no longer stacks duplicates
- Fix: Start Radio on artist keeps current song playing
- Manual tracks always appear before Radio, Radio before Auto-added
- Queue separators: "— Radio —" and "— Auto —" dividers
- Fix: radio proactive load now works even when songs lack artistId
(uses currentRadioArtistId module var as fallback)
UI / UX
- Click synced lyrics lines to seek (PR #38)
- Volume scroll wheel on volume slider (PR #38)
- Lyrics: active / completed / upcoming visual states (PR #38)
- Shared toast utility (src/utils/toast.ts) replaces inline toast fn
- Auto-updater: relaunch_after_update Rust command exits first to
release single-instance lock before spawning new process
About / Credits
- nisarg-78 and JulianNymark added to contributors (since v1.29.0)
- netherguy4 added as Special Thanks for feature ideas and feedback
- i18n: aboutSpecialThanksLabel in all 5 languages

current_sample_rate was initialized to 44100, causing every track to be
resampled down to 44.1 kHz. Setting it to 0 disables resampling until
the actual track rate is known, so songs play at their native sample rate.

Replay gain was not working because track objects were created manually without
including replay gain metadata from the Subsonic API response.
Changes:
- Add songToTrack() helper function to properly map SubsonicSong to Track with
replayGainTrackDb, replayGainAlbumDb, and replayGainPeak fields
- Add audio_update_replay_gain Tauri command for dynamic volume recalculation
when replay gain settings change mid-playback
- Add updateReplayGainForCurrentTrack() to recalculate volume when toggling
replay gain setting
- Fetch fresh track data on cold resume (app relaunch) to ensure replay gain
values are current from server
- Update all files that create track objects to use songToTrack()
Fixes issue where toggling replay gain ON/OFF or changing between track/album
mode had no effect on currently playing or newly played tracks.
Themes:
- Add Poison (phosphor green on charcoal), Nucleo (warm brass light), Classic Winamp (LCD glow, Winamp yellow/orange) themes
- Overhaul Psychowave — refined deep violet, no longer WIP
- Reorganise ThemePicker into groups: Catppuccin, Nord, Retro, Tokyo Night, Psysonic Themes
- Add --volume-accent CSS var for per-theme volume slider colour override
Queue:
- Full toolbar redesign with centred round buttons (Shuffle/Save/Load/Clear/Gapless/Crossfade)
- Crossfade popover with 1–10 s range slider, right-aligned to avoid viewport overflow
- Queue header: title + count + duration inline in accent colour, close button removed
- Tech info (codec/bitrate) as frosted-glass overlay badge on cover art
UI:
- CoverLightbox shared component for album cover (AlbumHeader) and artist avatar (ArtistDetail)
- NowPlayingDropdown: separate spinning/loading state — button always clickable, icon spins 600 ms min
- Settings: "Experimental" badge on Crossfade and Gapless toggles
- Help page: 2-column grid layout, new Crossfade & Gapless Q&A entry, updated theme/language entries
i18n:
- Full French (fr) and Dutch (nl) translations across all namespaces
- Language selector sorted alphabetically (nl, en, fr, de)

### Audio
- Replay Gain support (track + album mode, configurable pre-gain, hard limiter)
- Crossfade between tracks (configurable duration 1–10 s)

- Atomic sink swap: old track plays until new one is decoded, then stops cleanly
### UI / UX
- Settings redesigned with tab navigation (General, Playback, About)
- Changelog viewer in Settings → About with collapsible version entries
- Download Folder Modal: choose folder + "remember" checkbox per-download
- EQ popup now accessible directly from the Player Bar

### 10-Band Graphic Equalizer
- Full EQ in Rust audio engine via EqSource<S> biquad peak filters
- 10 built-in presets + custom preset save/delete
