-### Changes
+### Bug Fixes
-- Bundle the audio visualizer by default. `soundcard` and `numpy` are now mandatory dependencies instead of gated behind the optional `[visualizer]` extra, so the visualizer works out of the box on every install.
+
+- Fix visualizer toggle button not reflecting actual availability after audio device load ([ee51849](https://git.dolgolyov-family.by/alexei.dolgolyov/media-player-server/commit/ee51849))
+- Fix visualizer WebSocket re-subscription firing before availability is confirmed from the API — moved from `connectWebSocket` to `loadAudioDevices` ([ee51849](https://git.dolgolyov-family.by/alexei.dolgolyov/media-player-server/commit/ee51849))

 ### Development / Internal
 
-#### CI/Build
+#### Other
-- Simplify `build-dist-linux.sh` to install `.` instead of `.[visualizer]` now that the deps are part of the base install.
+- Broaden audio library import errors from `ImportError` to `Exception` and log at `warning` level with error details ([ee51849](https://git.dolgolyov-family.by/alexei.dolgolyov/media-player-server/commit/ee51849))
