Audio pipeline rewrite, gapless transitions, DSD import, and a unified streaming layer across all five online sources

Audio Engine

Rewritten audio pipeline on AVAudioEngine for real-time stability and lower-latency device switching
mainMixerNode SRC quality raised to maximum — cleaner playback when device rate ≠ source rate
Multi-buffer scheduler eliminates SRC-boundary dropouts
Gapless transitions reworked end-to-end
HAL listeners react to system sample-rate and default-device changes without restart
Stream byte prefetcher for faster network playback startup

DSD import — .dsf files now ingest and play cleanly (DFF deferred to v1.3)
Streaming pipeline rewrite — unified byte-stream layer across Archive.org, Nugs, Tidal, Qobuz, Phish.in
Phish.in MP3 reliability improvements

Auth-expiry overlay — clear indicator and one-click reconnect when a streaming session expires
Stream download progress fill on the playback scrubber
Double-click track-row gesture fix
File → New Playlist… (⌘⇧N)
“Play Album” context menu now actually plays (was navigating only)
Home YOUR PLAYLISTS refreshes immediately when a playlist is created from anywhere
On This Day cards open show detail directly (no longer routed through global search)
Menu-bar popover redesigned as vertical mini-player

Transport controls have explicit a11y labels (Previous Track / Next Track / Play / Pause)
Album track titles reachable via VoiceOver
Menu-bar player track title surfaces to the accessibility tree

m4a / ALAC playback failure with kAudio_ParamError -50 fixed (full-buffer read contract)
Resync delay defaults to 0.3 s for DACs that need lock time after rate changes
“Add to Queue” with no prior playback no longer leaves the queue inconsistent
Session restore correctly brings back the currently-playing track on relaunches within 30 s
Menu-bar popover Tahoe layout-cycle crash class ended
Nugs.net artists appear in global search rollup
Phish.in tracks correctly bucketed by source in source breakdown
