- Rewrite tray to run on main thread (pystray owns message loop, uvicorn
in background thread) — fixes unresponsive confirmation dialogs
- Use native Windows MessageBoxW instead of tkinter (embedded Python
has no tkinter)
- Pin numpy <2.0 to fix soundcard's numpy.fromstring (removed in 2.0)
- Strip transitive numpy 2.x wheels in build script
- Installer copies config.example.yaml as config.yaml on fresh install
- Suppress noisy screen_brightness_control warnings
Adds pystray-based tray icon (green play button) that runs alongside
uvicorn. Double-click opens the web UI in the browser, Exit triggers
graceful shutdown. Disabled with --no-tray flag for headless/service mode.
- New audio_analyzer service: loopback capture via soundcard + numpy FFT
- Real-time spectrogram bars below album art with accent color gradient
- Album art and vinyl pulse to bass energy beats
- WebSocket subscriber pattern for opt-in audio data streaming
- Audio device selection in Settings tab with auto-detect fallback
- Optimized FFT pipeline: vectorized cumsum bin grouping, pre-serialized JSON broadcast
- Visualizer config: enabled/fps/bins/device in config.yaml
- Optional deps: soundcard + numpy (graceful degradation if missing)
