New qbz_app::offline_mode (frontend-agnostic, ADR-006): three-state mode
machine (Online / RealOffline session-scoped / InducedOffline persisted),
Tauri-compatible offline_settings.db store with the issue #279
stream_first_track snapshot, and a layered connectivity actor (default-route
signal on Linux, audio liveness window, IP-literal + vendor-diverse strict
probes, asymmetric hysteresis with confirmation burst, captive-portal and
suspend/resume handling).
qbz-qobuz gains the process-wide offline_gate and ApiError::OfflineMode (the
single Qobuz choke point; HTTP funnel wiring lands next).
SubscriptionStateStore gains offline_playback_allowed: binary 30-day-grace
playback gate for the offline cache, never a preview-degradation path.

Fresh Slint-only Plex integration foundation (Tauri untouched; the Tauri
code is slated for deletion at port end, so creds are not shared):
- slice 0: fix the false Plex docs in local_library.rs
- slice 1: add the qbz-plex dependency to qbz-slint
- slice 2a: qbz-app/settings/plex.rs per-user store (10 fields, idempotent
4->11 column migration keeping creds, 8 tests) - frontend-agnostic,
no tauri::State (ADR-006)
- slice 2b: Settings > Local Library Plex section, 1:1 with the complete
Tauri feature - master toggle + collapse, LAN-only address gate, PIN auth
(2500ms poll, self-stopping on section-leave/expiry/disconnect),
manual-token fallback, ping + machine-id capture, multi-section pick
(default-all), disconnect vs clear-cache; once-per-session background
refresh (no cache_clear churn on section re-entry)

Add a mac_hide_dock column (with migration) to the shared tray settings
store for the upcoming macOS close-to-tray Dock-icon toggle, and flip the
close_to_tray default to true (opt-out: closing sends the window to the
tray and keeps the app running).
cc
Startup blocked on Qobuz's ~7 MB web bundle download with no cache or
timeout, so a slow CDN left the app on a blank screen for 25-30s before
the login screen appeared. Cache the extracted tokens on disk (keyed by
bundle version), apply them instantly on warm starts and refresh in the
background, and bound the cold fetch with a per-request timeout + retry.
The legacy api client shares the same cache. Emits BundleFetchStarted so
the UI can show a connecting state on the first run.

Relocate the persistent QConnect device-identity resolution out of the
Tauri adapter into the frontend-agnostic qbz-app crate
(qbz-app/src/qconnect_identity.rs) so both the Tauri and a future Slint
frontend resolve the SAME uuid for the same install.
Moved: resolve_qconnect_device_uuid, device_uuid_from_db,
load/persist_device_uuid, qconnect_settings_db_path.
Byte-identical persistence contract preserved: DB path
(<data_dir>/qbz/qconnect_settings.db), the 'device_uuid' key, and the
QBZ_QCONNECT_DEVICE_UUID env override are unchanged, so existing installs
keep their uuid. The Tauri transport.rs::resolve_qconnect_device_uuid is
now a one-line delegate; the device-NAME persistence shares the same DB
file via the qbz-app path helper.
qbz-app gains a uuid dependency (it already had rusqlite + dirs, so no
SQLite dep was added to qconnect-app per R6). The 2 device_uuid tests
move to qbz-app.

Playback (minimal, album-focused):
- playback.rs controller: play an album (set queue + start audio),
play a single track, enqueue, play a queue index, transport
(play/pause, next, previous, seek, volume)
- the audible step uses Player::play_track (fetch -> download -> play);
the protected audio backend is untouched
- a 450ms poll loop pushes position/progress/times/playing onto
NowPlayingState and auto-advances at end of track
- NowPlayingState / QueueState globals; NowPlayingBar bound to real
state (song card, seek bar, transport, volume); QueueSidebar lists
the queue and rows play on click
- a played track is recorded into the recently-played store
Detail views:
- album description and artist biography stay with the metadata,
filling the width to the right of the artwork (not below the header)
- header nav tabs gained a dropdown caret and 2px side padding
Settings > Playback defaults are now opt-out: show context icon,
restore session, resume position and stream-uncached default on;
streaming-only stays opt-in; initial buffer defaults to 2s.
Known gaps: queue/now-playing artwork not yet threaded (Image is not
Send); autoplay-mode preference not consulted by auto-advance; buffer
progress line stays at 0.

Task 2 of the Slint POC readiness audit. AppRuntime now performs
framework-agnostic per-user session activation: activate, activate_at,
activate_offline, deactivate, plus is_session_active, active_user_id,
and a with_session_store accessor.
This is the minimal version per the 2026-05-18 audit correction. It
opens only the session store and does the portable scaffolding (user
paths, directories, last_user_id marker, runtime state machine). It
does not touch Tauri's session_lifecycle, does not initialize the
src-tauri-side per-user stores, and does not run the flat-to-user
migration. The shipping app keeps identical behavior; this is additive.
activate_at takes explicit directories and is the testable core;
activate resolves real per-user paths through UserDataPaths.
cc
Adds a framework-agnostic composition root for non-Tauri UI shells
(Slint, TUI, headless) as Task 1 of the Slint POC readiness audit
(session-20-slint-poc-readiness-audit).
AppRuntime<A> owns an Arc<QbzCore<A>> plus the runtime state machine,
built with the same recipe as the Tauri CoreBridge but with no Tauri
dependency. Scope is composition and accessors only; per-user store
ownership and session activation are deferred to Task 2.
qbz-app now depends on qbz-core, qbz-player, qbz-audio, and qbz-models.
The Tauri app does not consume this module; it is purely additive.

NVIDIA-only systems no longer get a hardware-acceleration recommendation that visibly stutters under WebKitGTK. The three NVIDIA-only branches (Wayland+GNOME, Wayland, X11) collapse into one CPU-rendering profile, since XWayland does not rescue the stutter either.
NVIDIA + iGPU hybrid now allows DMA-BUF: WebKit composites on the stable iGPU stack, so the instability that affects NVIDIA-only systems does not apply. The recommendation also tells the user to pick the iGPU explicitly in the rendering GPU selector instead of Auto.
