PearConnect 0.3.0-beta.5 - Stream overlays and Discord presence

PearConnect Desktop now has a live upcoming-queue overlay, a portrait layout for TikTok LIVE Studio, a separate social handles ticker and Discord Rich Presence.

• Music overlay: read-only WebSocket snapshots, automatic reconnect, HTTP fallback, stale-state handling, one to five upcoming songs and source dimensions calculated in the app.
• Social ticker: configured TikTok, Twitch, Discord, YouTube, Instagram, Kick and website handles; seven bundled SVG icons; platform-color, monochrome and outline presets; adjustable rotation and an app-only sample preview.
• Discord: public application ID built in, automatic local desktop connection, optional song sharing and a manual live label. No client secret is included. The installed Discord client acknowledged the presence in a live check.
• Existing command moderation, authenticated Advanced endpoints, request accounting and queue verification remain intact. A second TikTok account or unofficial authorization flow is not included.

Validation: 99 Node tests, 12 smoke assertions, isolated Electron acceptance, isolated Chrome overlay/ticker checks and packaged-source verification passed. Dependency audit: zero vulnerabilities. A read-only check displayed Happy by Letdown. from the installed player; its upcoming queue was empty. This is not a new end-to-end TikTok command-to-playback rehearsal.

Update for your stream

1. Close the previous PearConnect Desktop, extract the entire ZIP, and start PearConnect.exe. Keep PearConnect Player and TikFinity running. Existing settings remain; request intake starts paused.
2. In Visual studio, save your music overlay. In TikTok LIVE Studio, enable Custom resolution and use the dimensions shown in PearConnect. Keep source sound off and Always keep active on.
3. Enter public social handles, enable/save the ticker, and add its separate source at 600 × 120 or 400 × 120 for portrait.
4. Open Discord and check the presence status. Mark the stream live when you actually begin broadcasting, and end the label afterward.
5. Recreate website session codes if needed and rehearse one live request before enabling normal intake.
