- Keep *is-reconnecting* true until 'playing' event fires, preventing
pause/stalled handlers from triggering new reconnect cycles mid-flight
- Add exponential backoff for stall retries (5s, 10s, 20s... max 60s)
- Give up auto-reconnect after 10 stall attempts, show manual retry
- Add *stall-count* tracking, reset on successful playback
- Add *user-paused* guard to muted-tab pause handler
- Increase play() delay from 200ms to 500ms after load() for reliability
Fixes: AbortError from play()/pause() race, 429 Too Many Requests from
aggressive reconnect hammering, infinite reconnect loop on muted tabs.
Server-side fixes (stream-server.lisp):
- Add CORS preflight (OPTIONS) request handler for browser crossorigin audio
- AAC clients start from current buffer position instead of burst to avoid
ADTS frame alignment issues that caused browser decode errors
- Upgrade client stream error logging from debug to warn for diagnostics
- Add send-cors-preflight function with proper Access-Control headers
Frontend fixes (stream-player.lisp):
- Rewrite reconnect-stream to reuse existing audio element instead of
creating a new one, preserving browser user gesture context and preventing
NotAllowedError on autoplay after reconnect
- Unify stream config: both curated and shuffle channels use same mount
points (asteroid.mp3/asteroid.aac) since cl-streamer has a single pipeline
- Remove non-existent /asteroid-shuffle.mp3 mount reference that caused
404s and broken pipe cascade when switching to shuffle channel
- Map :low quality to same MP3 mount (asteroid-low.mp3 not yet available)
Note: Channel selector preserved for future multi-stream support.
Recently-played API works correctly; frontend rendering to investigate separately.
- Implement Web Notifications API in ParenScript
- Add notification toggle button (🔔/🔕) to player frame
- Show 'Artist - Track' notification when track changes
- Store notification preference in localStorage
- Auto-close notifications after 5 seconds
- Click notification to focus browser window
- Remove cross-frame audio access that was breaking audio on navigation

- Reduce quality selector width from 140px to 55px
- Add search_url to now-playing-json API response
The main analyzer is disabled in frameset mode due to browser restrictions
on cross-frame MediaElementSource, but the mini analyzer in the player
frame provides visualization that persists across content navigation.
- Reset *is-reconnecting* flag before play attempt so error handler can
catch failures and trigger retry with exponential backoff
- Always reconnect on stall event - ready-state check was unreliable
- Add retry logic with backoff when reconnect fails (up to 5 attempts)
- Store stalled timeout reference for proper cancellation
Fixes issue where stream would show 'Stream stalled - reconnecting...'
but never actually reconnect, requiring manual intervention.
