A LAN-only receiver — a BluOS player, another QBZ — was invisible until an
official app paired it into the session; that is the "it showed up once,
for a day" report. The Qt LAN runtime now browses _qobuz-connect._tcp
alongside its own receiver (same lifetime: Qobuz Connect enabled and
ready), probes every announcement that is not us, and the picker shows the
answers under "On this network" with a Pair action. Pairing mints the
delegated pair with /qws/delegateAuth for the renderer's app id and hands
it over with this controller's session uuid and become_active, exactly as
the official controllers do; the cloud then lists the device and its LAN
row drops out by uuid. scripts/qconnect-lan-fake-renderer.sh is a receiver
that never joins the cloud, for exercising this without a Node. Pending:
qbzd parity, the 5-minute retry backoff, become_active=false.

Address the owner's kiosk feedback on top of the release hardening:
- Chrome: the back bar is a drag surface and shrank to 44px with one shared
button form for Back/Forward/Connect/Cast; Qobuz Connect and Cast are a
permanent cluster in the bar; the dead Share-logs button left the kiosk
Settings header.
- Transport bar: the hidden overflow menu is gone; Volume is always visible
with a vertical sheet, and Desktop mode has its own button.
- Now Playing: one centred transport row (New-bar order); lyrics are centred
(shared LyricsLinesView gains an opt-in centered, desktop default false).
- Local Library: the media funnel and an Open (ephemeral) entry point reach
the kiosk; Artists is its own multi-column round-card grid (kiosk-only, the
desktop LocalArtistsTab is untouched); the Artists drill-down query no
longer hangs off a stale derived guard.
- Search: the All-tab dashboard shelves render again — they were mounted in a
Loader Component that read the delegate id under reuse and bound an empty
model; they are direct children now.
- Album detail: icon actions the height of the quality badge plus play next /
later / queue, an inline floating quality badge, and zebra rows; both album
headers show a quality badge.
- Immersive: a quiet auto-hiding kiosk exit moved to the bottom, clear of the
window controls.
Regression coverage in scripts/test_qt_kiosk_feedback.mjs (wired into the
runtime gate). Verified on a private authenticated Xvfb; QML audits 6/6,
Node gate 5/5, release build 0 warnings.

Preserve local playback when it is authoritative, make renderer conflicts explicit and persist the selected policy. Filter unsupported queue rows, restore portable Qobuz identities after disconnect, and fence takeover commands to avoid stale queue and playback loops.

Full-parity port of the Slint QConnect integration per the contract at
qbz-nix-docs/qt-frontend/2026-08-01-qconnect-port/00-CONTRACT.md (three
adversarial review rounds on the spec, §12 trap sign-off PASS on both
halves, RFB-verified incl. a real cloud connect, live session
owner-tested). The shared crates are consumed verbatim — zero backend
changes.
- adapter quartet: qconnect_transport_qt (credentials, identity on the
shared qconnect_settings.db), qconnect_engine_qt (start_track_stream
fallback chain + feeder helpers + CMAF cursor sync),
qconnect_event_sink_qt, qconnect_qt (the facade: connect/disconnect
recipe, controller routing, echo guards, offline parking B12, startup
auto-connect)
- QbzQConnect bridge singleton + on_session_entered wiring; one shared
flyout for both bars (tooltip on the large bar only), Developer >
Connect diagnostics modal, device-row glyphs, settings rows live
- poll loop: peer-reflection branch before cast, ~2 s renderer reports,
sync-on-add on every Qobuz-castable add path
- routing: cast → QConnect → local (mute QConnect-first), play arms
after the set_queue funnel, reorder cloud arm with no local fallback,
volume/mute/seek remote-first
- touchpoints: lyrics remote anchor, scrobble guarded / Discord
unguarded, cast suspend/resume, volume-lock lifted when remote
