[2026.05.27]

Added

• Navidrome / Subsonic support in the macOS Swift app — NavidromeService (Subsonic API client with MD5 token auth), NavidromeManager (multi-server persistence, active server switching, optimistic star toggling, cover art derivation from stream URLs), NdResponseCache (stale-while-revalidate actor cache, 30 min fresh TTL, 24 h eviction), NdLibraryView (Albums / Artists / Songs / Liked / Playlists sections with infinite-scroll pagination), NdSongRowView (track art toggle, hover play, star button, Play Next/Last + Go to Album/Artist context menu), NdAlbumDetailView, NdArtistDetailView, NdPlaylistDetailView (Play / Shuffle), and search integration (when a Navidrome server is active, search3 replaces local gRPC search with ND artist circles, album cards, and song rows)

Removed

• PCM volume normalizer (pcm_normalizer.c, pcm_normalizer.h, Rust bindings, settings field, docs) — superseded by ReplayGain perceived-loudness normalisation

Fixed

• Expo: AbortSignal.timeout() replaced with AbortController + setTimeout in navidrome-client.ts — AbortSignal.timeout is absent in some Hermes / React Native versions and was silently swallowing timeouts, making every fetch return null; switched to md5 npm package (removed inline implementation); set NSAllowsArbitraryLoads=true in iOS infoPlist to unblock HTTPS servers that do not meet strict ATS TLS requirements
• Expo ND album detail: mirror local album/[id].tsx hero layout — blurred background image (blurRadius=40) + dark gradient overlay + art shadow + scale/fade scroll animation + sticky header title fade-in; cover art URL now uses a stable salt derived from credentials so expo-image's disk cache is not busted on every render
• Expo ND detail screens: cover art now renders correctly by placing computed dimensions on a parent View and giving Image className="w-full h-full" so NativeWind owns the style; track rows in album and playlist detail screens now include a TrackMenuButton "…" context menu
• GPUI: Navidrome cover art is now derived directly from the stream URL parameters (id, u, t, s) instead of requiring an active server connection, eliminating blank album art when playback starts before the ND panel is connected; removes the PENDING_COVER_ART staging mutex and the async getSong round-trip
• macOS Now Playing / MPNowPlayingInfoCenter: cover art priority corrected — coverArtUrl(forStreamUrl:) is now tried first (returns nil for local tracks), then falls back to albumArt; the previous order always hit the albumArt branch even when it pointed at an empty path, so Navidrome tracks showed no artwork in the system Now Playing widget
• CI: Android firmware build workflows now delete make.dep before make lib to force a fresh dependency scan after prefix-restore cache hits that carry stale header dependencies (e.g. the pcm_normalizer.h removal)
