- NowPlaying polling: only active while dropdown is open + respects
Page Visibility API — was firing every 10s unconditionally (~8.6k req/day)
- Connection check interval: 30s → 120s (4× reduction)
- Queue sync debounce: 1.5s → 5s (prevents burst on rapid skip)
- Rating prefetch: add 7-minute in-memory TTL cache for artist/album
ratings — repeated random album loads no longer re-fetch known ratings
Fixes server log flooding reported by users behind reverse proxies (Traefik).

- playerStore: Guard onend against spurious 'ended' events fired by
WebKit/GStreamer immediately after a direct audioNode.currentTime seek.
Root cause of the deterministic "second click on progress bar stops song"
bug: a lastSeekAt timestamp + position check now silently drops any
'ended' event that fires within 1 s of a seek if the playhead isn't
actually near the track end.
- playerStore: Debounce togglePlay with a 300 ms lock to prevent rapid
double-clicks from issuing pause→play before GStreamer has finished its
state transition, which caused a multi-second pipeline hang.
- NowPlayingDropdown: Clicking a Live entry now navigates to the album page.
- QueuePanel: DnD drop target index now calculated from clientY position
at drop time instead of refs, eliminating the dragend-before-drop race
on macOS WKWebView and Windows WebView2.
- styles: Increased Hero background blur for a more immersive look.
