WebKitGTK on Linux runs with WEBKIT_DISABLE_COMPOSITING_MODE=1, so every
GPU-only effect is software-rasterised per frame. The fullscreen player
piled up large blur shadows, per-line scale transforms, oversized
radial-gradients with color-mix() and a 60 fps rAF spring on top — CPU
saturated and FPS dropped to ~10.
Linux-only via existing html.no-compositing class:
- Apple-style lyrics: drop transform: scale and 48 px / 32 px text-shadow
- Rail-style lyrics: drop 28 px text-shadow + scaleX
- Track title: 40 px glow → 6 px drop-shadow
- Album art wrap + play button: drop accent-coloured outer glows
- Mesh blobs: flatten 130 % radial-gradient + color-mix to solid #06060e
and remove the 400 ms background transition
- Portrait wrap: drop translateZ(0) GPU-layer hint
- FS art: instant cover swap (no opacity crossfade)
- SpringScroller: replace rAF spring with native scrollTo({behavior:'smooth'})
- FsSeekbar: cache last applied values, skip identical DOM writes
Dynamic accent on title / seekbar / play button is preserved.

Two independent user-facing fixes rolled together.
── Lyrics: YouLyPlus provider (issue #172) ──
Adds word-by-word synced (karaoke) lyrics as an alternative lyrics mode.
Backed by the public lyricsplus aggregator (Apple Music / Spotify /
Musixmatch / QQ Music) — no API keys on our side, subscription costs are
borne by the backend operator. Five mirrors are tried on network failure.
Settings → Lyrics now exposes a mode radio (Standard vs YouLyPlus) plus
a static-only toggle. YouLyPlus misses silently fall back to the existing
server + LRCLIB + Netease pipeline so obscure tracks still resolve. The
drag-to-reorder source list is hidden in YouLyPlus mode since the
external aggregator manages its own source priority.
Rendering: per-word spans on each line, active word highlighted with
accent-tinted glow. Subscribed imperatively via usePlayerStore.subscribe
so 500 ms progress ticks do not re-render the whole lyrics block. The
Fullscreen Player reuses the same pattern; the 5-line rail layout is
unchanged. white-space: pre on .fs-lyric-word preserves the trailing
spaces the API embeds in each syllabus token (flex context would
otherwise collapse them).
i18n: new keys in all 8 locales (de, en, fr, nl, nb, ru, es, zh).
── macOS mic-prompt suppression ──
Ships a vendored cpal 0.15.3 at patches/cpal-0.15.3/ wired via
[patch.crates-io]. The only change is in src/host/coreaudio/macos/mod.rs:
audio_unit_from_device now unconditionally uses IOType::DefaultOutput for
output streams instead of conditionally choosing HalOutput.
AUHAL (HalOutput) is classified as input-capable by macOS TCC and
triggers the microphone-permission dialog at first launch / after each
update even for playback-only apps. Previous attempts (removing
NSMicrophoneUsageDescription, setting com.apple.security.device.audio-input
false in Entitlements.plist) did not suppress the prompt because TCC
fires at AudioUnit instantiation, not at plist level. The upstream fix
in cpal PR #1070 / cpal 0.17 only helps when the pinned device equals
the system default; always-DefaultOutput covers all cases.
Tradeoff: per-device output selection is a no-op on macOS — the stream
always follows the system default. Settings.tsx surfaces this via
audioOutputDeviceMacNotice (hides the CustomSelect on macOS) and skips
audio_list_devices + device-watcher effects there. Matches the behaviour
of Apple Music / Spotify on macOS.
Also removes the now-obsolete com.apple.security.device.audio-input
entitlement (sandbox is disabled anyway, so it was ignored).

Adds no_compositing_mode Tauri command; frontend adds html.no-compositing on Linux to replace GPU-only CSS effects (backdrop-filter, filter, mask-image) with software-friendly equivalents.
Settings → Appearance → Fullscreen Player: toggle for artist portrait visibility + 0–80% dimming slider.
Fix: long words in lyric lines now wrap correctly.
- Throttle audio:progress from 100ms to 500ms; WaveformSeek and
FsSeekbar use imperative DOM updates instead of React re-renders
- Fix all usePlayerStore() calls without selectors across pages and
components (useShallow / individual selectors throughout)
- Remove filter:blur and transform:scale from Hero, AlbumDetail and
FullscreenPlayer backgrounds — eliminated expensive software
compositing layers on WebKitGTK
- Replace translate3d with 2D translate in FS mesh and portrait
animations; remove will-change:transform from mesh blobs
- Move Hot Cache section from Storage tab to Audio tab; group Preload
and Hot Cache under a shared 'Next Track Buffering' section with a
mutual-exclusivity note and auto-disable logic
- Add 'off' toggle to Preload (replaces Off button with toggle switch);
enabling either method now automatically disables the other

- Bypass ImageCache 5-slot queue: fetch cover art directly, create blob URL
for canvas extraction, revoke immediately after use
- Module-level cache (artKey → accent) avoids re-fetching within the same
album — same-cover tracks get the color instantly
- Keep previous color visible on cache miss instead of flashing to theme color
Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Previously a separate getCachedUrl call fetched the 300px cover art just
for color extraction, racing with the 500px fetch for display. Now reuses
resolvedCoverUrl directly — color appears as soon as the display image is
ready, with no redundant network request.

Extracts the most vibrant pixel from an 8×8 downscaled album cover via
the Canvas API and applies it as --dynamic-fs-accent on the .fs-player
root element. All accent-colored FS player elements use
var(--dynamic-fs-accent, var(--accent)) as fallback so the theme accent
is restored automatically when the FS player closes.
Elements updated:
- .fs-track-title (color + text-shadow)
- .fs-btn.active, .fs-btn-heart.active/:hover
- .fs-btn-play and :hover (background + box-shadow)
- .fs-seekbar-played (background + box-shadow)
- .fs-mesh-blob-a/-b (radial-gradient via color-mix at 14%/8% opacity)
- .fs-art-wrap box-shadow glow (color-mix at 70% opacity)
- MicVocal lyrics-toggle inline style
Color safety: WCAG 4.5:1 contrast against near-black FS background
enforced by progressively lightening in HSL space (ensureContrast).
Pure math functions unit-tested with vitest (28 tests, 0 deps beyond
vitest itself).

Swap DOM order and styles in the info cluster:
- fs-track-title: clamp(28px,4.5vw,68px) / weight 900 / var(--accent) — primary
- fs-artist-name: clamp(13px,1.5vw,22px) / weight 400 / 55% opacity — secondary
- fs-cluster gap: 12px → 8px (denser hierarchy)
- fs-meta: margin-top: 4px for breathing room after artist name

Increase slot height from 3.6vh → 6vh (CSS + JS factor 0.036 → 0.06)
so that long lyric lines can wrap onto a second line without being clipped.
Fixed height on .fs-lyric-line is kept intentional — rail math requires
uniform slots. 2 wrapped lines at 2vh font / 1.4 line-height = 5.6vh,
comfortably inside the 6vh slot. font-size adjusted from 2.2vh → 2vh.
