Guest suggestions now auto-merge into the host's play queue at random positions inside the upcoming range, so they actually surface alongside host-picked tracks instead of piling up at the end. Per-item dedupe via addedBy:addedAt:trackId keys survives reshuffles. Guests get a read-only mirror of the session in place of their queue panel — live-card for the host's current track, suggestion list with submitter attribution, and a footer reminding them the host owns playback. Track metadata is resolved lazily and cached locally. New host-only settings popover (gear in the bar) with auto-approve and auto-shuffle toggles plus a "Shuffle now" action. Settings live in the OrbitState blob and push immediately to Navidrome; missing fields on older blobs default to "both on". 15-min shuffle now touches the real playerStore queue via a new shuffleUpcomingQueue action — previous behaviour only reshuffled the guest-facing suggestion history. A manual shuffle is available from the settings popover so the interval can be verified without waiting. Start-modal reworked into a single step: share-link is visible and copy-able from the start, auto-copied on Start if the host hasn't already hit Copy. Link carries a live name-derived slug (parser strips it, SID is authoritative). LAN/remote-server hint above the facts. Random session-name suggester pulls from three pattern pools for ~10k unique combinations. All user-visible Orbit strings moved to a dedicated orbit i18n namespace (en + de); other locales fall back to en via i18next. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
