Summary

Ten bug fixes, one commit each:

• libportaudio not installed via curl #890 The macOS release binary links portaudio statically, so the install.sh, binstall and self-update builds start without Homebrew portaudio. A new otool -L step fails the release when the binary links anything outside /System and /usr/lib.
• Terminal window freezes on play #944 The keep-awake inhibitor runs on its own thread. Its D-Bus calls have no timeout, so a ScreenSaver service that stopped answering froze the UI thread with the App lock held. A failed inhibitor is now tried once per play instead of on every tick, and a worker that panicked on a failed release starts again.
• Deferred transport resume threads ignore pause intent and stack across rapid skips #448 A pause cancels the delayed play() a native skip sends 300 ms later, and a newer skip cancels both delayed commands of the older one. A small gate keeps a pause from landing between the check and the send.
• Native streaming: unavailable-track guard pauses, but librespot keeps skipping through the whole queue #537 After three unavailable tracks the guard stops librespot instead of pausing it, which ended Spirc's auto-advance through the whole queue. A failed preload no longer counts toward the three. Space after the halt shows the halt message again instead of a playing state over silence.
• No login hint when Spotify has no cached login #803 Without a Spotify session the Playlists panel shows "(d: log in to Spotify)" with the configured key, short enough to show the key in the default sidebar.
• Qobuz: repeat-one and queue resume can replay a partial tempfile #490 Qobuz replays a track's tempfile only when its download finished (SourceStream::on_finish); a partial file is fetched again.
• fix(gui): show and radio pages stay on loading after a failure #793 The GUI show and radio pages keep a failed load until the data lands or the page opens again, as the list page does. Back to a show whose episodes never landed fetches it again.
• fix(gui): followed artists do not page, and load more stops after a failure #792 The GUI Library pages the followed artists (ListTarget::SavedArtists), and a failed page lets the next scroll or move ask again.
• fix(gui): keyboard focus and small gaps in the Spotify-style layout #764 The song counter question is plain text in the strings; the terminal frontends add the banner and (Y/n): through confirm_console_text, and the GUI shows the body as a paragraph with Yes as the primary button.
• Party shared-control mode is inert: PartyPlaybackCommand is never dispatched #442 A shared-control guest sends play, pause, next, previous and force-previous to the host, from keys, the GUI and OS media keys, while the host publishes playback the party follows. joined_room carries the room's control mode, so a late joiner knows it.

Fixes #890, fixes #944, fixes #448, fixes #537, fixes #803, fixes #490, fixes #793, fixes #792, fixes #764, fixes #442

Testing

• cargo fmt --all -- --check: exit 0
• cargo clippy ... -- -D warnings on slim, headless, headless-streaming, mcp-only, ai-dj-only, the gui leg list, the soloist leg list, default and --features all-sources: all exit 0

• cargo test --features all-sources and the gui leg list (without the Linux-only audio-viz) on Windows: 2592 and 2207 passed, 1 failed in each, infra::local::tests::uri_round_trip. It builds a Unix path and fails on Windows on main too; this PR does not touch src/infra/local/.
• gui/: npm run lint, npm run format:check, npm run typecheck pass; npx vitest run: Test Files 61 passed (61), Tests 549 passed (549); npm run build: built in 746ms
• cargo clippy --manifest-path desktop/Cargo.toml -- -D warnings: exit 0; cargo test --manifest-path desktop/Cargo.toml: 7 passed

Additional notes

• The relay change for Party shared-control mode is inert: PartyPlaybackCommand is never dispatched #442 (control_mode in joined_room) is already deployed; older clients ignore the field. An older host drops the new force_prev_track action with a parse warning.
• Not tested live: the COSMIC freeze, skip timing with Premium, Qobuz repeat-one after a seek, a party with two clients, a macOS release run, and the MPRIS and macOS media-key changes, which only compile on Linux and macOS CI.
• Left out on purpose: a pause from another Connect controller inside the 300 ms after a skip still loses to the delayed play (Deferred transport resume threads ignore pause intent and stack across rapid skips #448), and a guest's seek is not relayed (Party shared-control mode is inert: PartyPlaybackCommand is never dispatched #442).

Walkthrough

This pull request changes macOS release linking, GUI library paging and page load states, onboarding prompts, party transport, native playback handling, Spotify login guidance, and Qobuz replay.

Changes: macOS release linking

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Static dependency build and validation .github/workflows/cd.yml, docs/installation.md	The macOS build configures static dependency discovery and checks release-binary library paths. The installation note distinguishes prebuilt binaries from source builds.

Onboarding confirmation prompts

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Prompt text and console formatting src/core/i18n/status_runtime.rs, src/core/onboarding.rs, src/runtime/..., src/tui/onboarding.rs	The localized song-counter prompt text changes. Runtime and TUI confirmation prompts use a shared console-formatting helper.
GUI confirmation layout gui/e2e/..., gui/src/Onboarding.tsx, gui/src/Onboarding.test.tsx, gui/src/style.css	The GUI confirmation uses paragraph text, grouped buttons, and a primary Yes button. An end-to-end screenshot covers the question.

Library pagination and login guidance

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Followed-artist pagination src/core/action/..., src/gui/protocol.rs, gui/e2e/fixtures.ts	The library payload reports whether more followed artists are available. SavedArtists dispatches a cursor-based next-page request.
GUI library paging and retry gui/src/libraryModel.ts, gui/src/LibraryPanel.tsx, gui/src/*library*.test.tsx	The GUI maps library filters to paging targets and clears its remembered request after an error revision. Tests cover pager behavior and updated fixtures.
Disconnected Spotify login hint src/core/i18n/sidebar.rs, src/core/i18n/template_tests.rs, src/tui/ui/library.rs	The TUI adds a localized Spotify login hint when Spotify is disconnected.

GUI page load states

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Load failure and retry models gui/src/pagesModel.ts, gui/src/showModel.ts, gui/src/*Model.test.ts	loadLatch records fetch failures until data arrives or the page opens again. The episode pager adds retry(), and heldShowId returns an ID only for a loaded page.
Show and radio page state gui/src/PodcastPage.tsx, gui/src/RadioPage.tsx, gui/src/Shell.tsx, gui/src/*Page.test.tsx, gui/src/mainLocalization.test.tsx	Show and radio pages reset selection on a fresh view and display latched fetch failures. The shell passes view and status data to the pages.

Listening-party shared transport

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Party message and session state src/infra/network/sync.rs, worker-relay/src/index.ts	Party messages carry optional control mode, playback actions include force-previous, and sessions track host-state time. The relay reports its stored room mode.
Guest transport relay and host handling src/core/app/party.rs, src/core/app/transport.rs, src/infra/network/mod.rs, src/runtime/startup.rs	Shared-control guests relay supported transport and media-key actions when host state is fresh and playback is not yielded locally. Network handling processes the relayed commands.

Native playback handling

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Asynchronous keep-awake requests src/core/app/keep_awake.rs, src/core/app/{construction,mod,tick}.rs, src/runtime/bootstrap.rs	Playback-state changes go to a worker that manages the keep-awake inhibitor.
Unavailable-track halt guard src/infra/player/events.rs, src/core/app/native_recovery.rs, src/core/app/transport.rs	Unavailable events are matched to the loading track. At the escalation threshold, native playback stops and resume is refused until the halt is cleared.
Skip resume cancellation src/infra/player/streaming.rs, src/core/app/transport.rs	Skip and pause generations control delayed activation and playback. Transport methods offer supported actions to the party relay first.

Qobuz complete-file replay

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Progressive stream completion state src/infra/qobuz/stream/progressive.rs, src/infra/qobuz/mod.rs	The progressive stream exposes whether the tempfile contains the completed track.
Fetch and replay decisions src/infra/qobuz/dispatch.rs, src/infra/queue/dispatch.rs	Replay uses a tempfile only when its completion state is set. Partial files trigger a fetch instead.

Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

Explanation

The reviewed changes map to the ten linked issues or directly support their implementation and tests. The installation documentation and release workflow support [#890]. Keep-awake panic handling supports [#944]. Onboarding layout, localization, fixtures, and tests support [#764]. Party worker-relay, media-key, and protocol changes support [#442]. The remaining model, UI, streaming, Qobuz, paging, and test changes support [#448], [#490], [#537], [#792], [#793], [#803], or [#944]. No unrelated change is demonstrated.

Full details: Linked Issues check

Explanation

All ten directly linked issues are active coding targets. The reviewed changes support [#890] with static macOS dependency settings and an otool -L release gate; [#944] with worker-thread keep-awake requests and worker recovery; [#448] with generation and pause/stop guards for delayed native skip commands; [#803] with the disconnected Spotify sidebar hint; [#490] with completion-gated Qobuz tempfile replay; [#792] with followed-artist paging and retry state; and [#442] with shared-control transport relay and joined_room control mode. The changes partially support [#793], but gui/src/PodcastPage.tsx still gives the episode copy button tabIndex={-1} and adds no keyboard or menu action for copying the selected episode link. The changes partially support [#537], but they stop StreamingPlayer and clear local playback intent without changing the connect/src/spirc.rs unavailable-event auto-advance path identified by the issue or proving that no further track loads occur. [#764] remains incomplete: the whole-PR change summary contains the song-counter prompt work, but no changes for the issue's TopBar.tsx, Home.tsx, AlbumPage.tsx, TrackTable.tsx, Shell.tsx, QueueDrawer.tsx, or src/core/app/models.rs requirements.

Resolution

For [#793], add keyboard access or a Shift+F10 menu for copying the selected episode link, and test it. For [#537], prevent the unavailable threshold from triggering Spirc auto-advance and verify that no further keys or files are requested until a new user start. For [#764], implement the remaining linked GUI and core requirements, or remove the issue link if this PR intentionally delivers only the song-counter change.

only still-valid issues, skip the rest with a brief reason, keep changes
minimal, and validate.

Inline comments:
Review comments at @gui/src/LibraryPanel.tsx:
- Around line 146-148: Make failed next-page requests retryable in the
pagination flow associated with errorRev and askedFor.current. When rows do not
fill .library-rows and no scroll event can trigger another page check, provide
an explicit retry action or a bounded retry after the error; avoid an unbounded
retry loop.

Review comments at @src/core/app/keep_awake.rs:
- Line 29: Update the KeepAwake request flow so `requested` is recorded only
after the worker accepts the request; if sending fails because `spawn_worker`
has no receiver, leave it unchanged so a later `request(true)` retries.

Review comments at @src/core/app/native_recovery.rs:
- Line 230: Update the halt path that sets self.native_unavailable_halt to also
clear the affected native playback owner’s play intent through
App::pause_native_playback, so recovery restores and published queue slots
remain paused.

Review comments at @src/core/app/transport.rs:
- Line 200: Update toggle_playback so the unavailable-halt check runs before the
queue_now_is_spotify resume branch dispatches StartPlayback. Block resuming
after an unavailable-track halt while preserving the ability to pause playback.

Review comments at @src/runtime/startup.rs:
- Around line 1474-1484: Move the `relay_party_play_key` check for
`MacMediaEvent` play and pause events before the remote Spotify routing branch,
after the Apple Music and decoded-source branches, so shared-control commands
reach the host before the remote device consumes them.

Review comments at @worker-relay/src/index.ts:
- Line 143: Move the roomControlMode assignment in the fetch flow to after host
admission succeeds, so rejected hosts cannot change the mode sent in
joined_room; preserve the admitted host’s selected control mode.
