Persist waveform v4 as paired curves per bin (peak and mean absolute value),
invalidate cache rows with insufficient data shape, and render the seekbar as
0.7 * mean + 0.3 * peak for a denser, more stable contour.
Thanks to @peri4ko for proposing this waveform improvement.
The waveform-loudness-cache merge replaced the existing deterministic
per-track-ID waveform with a bins-based one driven by the analysis
cache. The bins-based variant is the better default but the old
deterministic look is still valuable when no analysis is available
(brand-new track, cache-miss, etc.) and several users prefer it.
Split into two explicit options in the seekbar style picker:
- 'truewave' (default, replaces old 'waveform') — bins from the analysis
cache, with morph-on-arrival animation and flat-line fallback while
empty.
- 'pseudowave' — pseudo-random heights derived deterministically from
the track ID. No analysis dependency, no morph, instant render.
Existing persisted seekbarStyle: 'waveform' is migrated to 'truewave'
in onRehydrateStorage so users keep the visual they have today. The
useEffect that builds heightsRef now lists seekbarStyle in its deps so
switching between the two is live.
i18n labels added in all 8 locales.

Resolve integrated loudness from SQLite only at decode bind; keep pre-trim
until a row exists, then allow provisional gain from live updates. Pass
DB-stable hints from the web app into play and gapless preload.
Default pre-measurement attenuation -4.5 dB with an icon reset in Settings;
drop redundant normalization copy and shorten pre-trim descriptions.
analysis_cache seed_from_bytes returns an outcome and skips redundant
waveform work on cache hits; wire callers and related frontend/backend glue.
Improve seekbar fallback behavior by using consistent bar-based rendering and smoother transitions to analyzed waveform data. Reduce hot-path analysis overhead during ranged streaming and add controls to clear cached waveform entries.
Improve normalization consistency by separating cache refresh for non-playing tracks, hardening track-id cache lookups, and keeping UI gain state aligned with actual playback. Also reduce startup stalls by preferring non-seekable streaming when format hints are missing and by tuning ALSA/analysis paths to avoid underrun-prone churn.
- Type `window.__psyHidden` once via global declaration; drop 6 `(window as any)` casts.
- `WindowVisibilityProvider` now ORs `window.__psyHidden` into the hidden state
(and into the initial state). On WebView2 `document.hidden` does not always
flip when `win.hide()` is called, so effects gated by `useWindowVisibility()`
can now actually skip creating intervals/rAF instead of relying solely on the
per-tick fallback check.
- Slow visible-poll from 200 ms to 500 ms (5 → 2 wakeups/s for visibility alone).
- Fix stray leading-space indent in `App.tsx` `window:close-requested` comment.

* fix(windows): stop GPU rendering when windows are hidden
* perf(ui): tighten hidden-window rendering mitigation
Align implementation and documentation with what the injected pause/resume
scripts actually do, reduce main-thread and compositor wakeups while windows
are invisible, and make lifecycle cleanup reliable.
Rust (Tauri)
- Document PAUSE/RESUME as compositor-oriented hints: set __psyHidden, optional
--psy-anim-speed for CSS that opts in, and pause @keyframes via
animation-play-state only (not CSS transitions, not arbitrary timers or rAF).
- Walk descendants under #root instead of document-wide querySelectorAll('*')
to cut cost on large pages; skip the walk if #root is missing (flag still set).
- Call eval(PAUSE_RENDERING_JS) before hide() on all hide paths (tray menu,
tray icon toggle, mini open/close/show-main, native mini close) so the
webview sees __psyHidden while still fully schedulable.
- Shorten pause_rendering command rustdoc to match the script.
Frontend
- WindowVisibilityProvider: replace self-rescheduling useCallback with a single
effect that keeps one pending timeout id, uses a cancelled flag on unmount,
and syncs hiddenRef from document.hidden at mount (no orphaned timers after
tests/HMR).
- WaveformSeek (preview + animated seekbar): while hidden, poll with a 400 ms
timeout instead of requestAnimationFrame every frame; cancel both rAF and
timeout on teardown.
Why
- Accurate comments prevent future refactors from assuming “full JS idle”.
- Smaller DOM walks and fewer rAF wakeups reduce spikes when hiding the main
window or mini player on Windows WebView2 and elsewhere.
* perf(ui): pause global CSS + timers when Tauri hides the window
Builds on PR #273 (`7803d8e` + `0e07a73`). Adds a second HTML flag driven only by
Rust pause/resume inject so infinite animations still pause when WebView2 keeps
`document.hidden === false` after `win.hide()`, and stops a few periodic JS
timers while the window is invisible.
- `lib.rs`: set/remove `data-psy-native-hidden` on `<html>` in PAUSE/RESUME JS;
document why in rustdoc (rest of pause/resume unchanged from PR tip).
- `components.css`: same `animation-play-state: paused !important` rules as
`data-app-hidden` for `[data-psy-native-hidden="true"]`; refresh the comment.
- `App.tsx`: comment distinguishes tab visibility vs Tauri-native hide.
- `Hero.tsx`: do not run the 10 s carousel interval while hidden
(`useWindowVisibility` + `__psyHidden` in tick).
- `PlaybackScheduleBadge.tsx`, `playbackScheduleFormat.ts`: no 400/500 ms
intervals while hidden; skip ticks when `document.hidden` or `__psyHidden`.
* fix(player): prevent streaming seek UI freezes and progress snapbacks
Move blocking seek work off the command path with a bounded timeout, switch fullscreen/mobile seek bars to commit-on-release, and stabilize fallback progress state so rapid early seeks on streamed tracks do not freeze the UI or jump progress to zero.
* fix(player): avoid second-seek lockups and progress flicker
Add a short lock timeout for audio seek state access to prevent UI stalls when rapid seeks overlap, and keep waveform progress stable right after seek commit to eliminate brief visual snapbacks.
* fix(player): harden seek recovery and reduce stream log noise
Keep seek fallback stable during delayed backend responses to prevent occasional resets to track start, and remove per-read stream blocking logs so normal playback diagnostics stay readable.

Ports the WaveformSeek UX changes from PR #219 (original fix by @cucadmuh)
onto test/seekable-streaming:
- Split previewFraction (during drag) / commitSeek (on mouseup) so audio_seek
fires once per gesture instead of on every mousemove.
- Subscribe-effect skips external progress updates while isDragging — prevents
cursor flicker from streaming/recovery ticks fighting the dragged position.
- Clear seekTarget in seek() catch branch so a failed seek doesn't permanently
block progress updates.
Skips the byte-restart fast-path from #219: would defeat RangedHttpSource's
direct seek by restarting the stream after 450ms.

Apply a destination-in gradient mask after drawing the waveform bars so
both the left and right edges fade smoothly to transparent instead of
cutting off abruptly.

Pulsewave: draw flat played line only up to where the Gaussian envelope
starts (startX), eliminating overlap between the flat line and the wave.
Retrotape: replace dual fixed-position reels with a single spinning reel
that tracks the playhead position across the full seek bar width.
fix(i18n): remove literal 'N' from skip-star descriptions in all languages
Replace 'After N skips' with natural phrasing ('after several skips') in
EN, FR, NL, NB, ZH. Simplify ratingsSkipStarThresholdLabel to a single
word (Skips / Sauts / Overslagen / Hopp / 跳过次数). DE was already fixed.

Add five seekbar styles selectable in Settings → Appearance:
Waveform, Line & Dot, Bar, Thick Bar, and Segmented. Each option
shows an animated canvas preview using requestAnimationFrame.
Style is persisted in authStore (seekbarStyle, default: waveform).
Translations added for all 7 languages.

Add Rust command `compute_waveform` that downloads the audio file,
seek-samples 500 evenly-spaced frames with Symphonia (fast path) and
computes peak amplitudes. Percentile-based normalisation (p5→p95)
preserves visible dynamics even for heavily compressed music.
Frontend caches results per track (module-level Map), shows the
pseudo-random fallback immediately and crossfades to the real waveform
over 400 ms (ease-in-out) once the computation finishes.
Also: Settings input-tab reset buttons now use btn-danger styling.
