v0.18.0

🔌 MCP server

SONE now ships an embedded Model Context Protocol server (streamable-HTTP, port 5577) so external agents like Claude Code can drive your library and playback.

• Search, favorites, playlists (full CRUD), now-playing, queue, lyrics
• Playback control: play / pause / next / seek / volume / shuffle / queue
• Settings tab with live enable toggle and token regeneration
• Off by default; stateless transport survives SONE restarts

🔬 Signal Path transparency

A new panel that shows exactly what your audio is going through, end to end. Open it by clicking the format/quality badge next to the now-playing track.

• Probes the live GStreamer pipeline including autoaudiosink children
• Maps pactl sink → ALSA card and surfaces OS mixer as a cable alteration
• PRISTINE verdict based on audio-bit integrity, not just bit-perfect mode
• Expand-to-flow-diagram view with friendly DAC names

What SONE reads from your system to build this view:

• GStreamer pad caps on the live playback pipeline
• pactl info output (default sink name, volume, mute)
• /proc/asound/*/pcm*/sub*/hw_params for the active ALSA card
• Nothing is sent off-device.

💬 Themed tooltips

Native browser tooltips are gone — replaced with a themed TooltipLayer that matches the rest of the UI.

🐛 Bug fixes

• Bit-perfect mode now forces unity volume and disables normalization
• Truthful bit-depth promotion toast
• Skip metadata-unavailable tracks instead of stalling
• Custom title bar restored on login and auth-check screens

Build & packaging

• Migrated package manager from npm to pnpm (Node 22+ required) — moving away from npm in light of recent supply-chain incidents in the npm ecosystem; pnpm's stricter dependency resolution, content-addressed store, and lockfile integrity give us a safer install pipeline
• Tauri JS ↔ Rust pinned to 2.11.x
• Arch PKGBUILD: libpulse / pulseaudio-utils added for pactl
