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).
