From the controller-mode debug session. All peer-facing paths gate on
is_peer_renderer_active, so renderer / local / disconnected playback is
unaffected.
- Now-playing bar + queue follow the peer authoritatively: reflect the peer's
current track / position / volume, refresh on the peer's track changes, and
fetch a fresh renderer state on becoming a controller (so the bar isn't stale
until the next track change; this also fixed remote pause, which had been
sending a stale current_queue_item).
- Route play-next / add-to-queue (single track) to the peer via
QueueInsertTracks / QueueAddTracks (insert-after the peer's current item);
multi-track album/playlist enqueue stays local for now. Clear the superseded
SetVolume pending to stop the volume-drag command spam.
- Clean disconnect: disarm the liveness watchdog + clear the device list / cast
state, so no spurious "renderer unreachable" toast and no lingering badge.
- Volume lock only for local ALSA-Direct bit-perfect (backend Alsa + plugin Hw),
lifted while controlling; reflect the peer's volume with a 50% safety clamp
when unknown.
- Connect button golden whenever a session is on; +2px now-playing bar height.
