Major Changes:
- Convert all JavaScript files to Parenscript for better maintainability
- Move spectrum-analyzer to parenscript/ directory structure
- Add parenscript-utils.lisp for shared utilities
- Convert admin.js, player.js, front-page.js, auth-ui.js to Parenscript
- Convert profile.js, users.js, recently-played.js to Parenscript
Stream Reconnect Fixes (from merged PR):
- Add reset-spectrum-analyzer function to properly clean up Web Audio API
- Implement reconnect logic for pauses longer than 10 seconds
- Detect stale audio in 'playing' event and force stream reconnection
- Prevent 'Now Playing' updates while stream is paused
- Reduce reconnect delay to 200ms for faster response
- Add proper spectrum analyzer reset/reinit during reconnection
UX Improvements:
- Change live indicator from blink to smooth pulse (2s ease-in-out)
- Pulse animation like old PowerBook/MacBook sleep indicator
- Add MUTED indicator to spectrum analyzer when audio is muted
- Spectrum continues to flow even when muted (data still streaming)
- Red 'MUTED' text displayed in top-right corner of canvas
Technical Details:
- Parenscript files generate JavaScript via API endpoints
- All player modes updated: main player, front page, popout, frame player
- Improved audio context handling to only create once per element
- Added comprehensive error handling and logging
- Updated asteroid.asd to include parenscript module structure
Documentation:
- Updated all documentation dates to 2025-12-06
- Added PARENSCRIPT-EXPERIMENT.org documenting the conversion
- Updated PROJECT-HISTORY.org with Phase 9 (Visual Audio Features)
- Added comprehensive project statistics (408 commits, 9,300 LOC)
This conversion improves code maintainability by using Lisp throughout
the stack and makes it easier to share code between frontend and backend.
Optimized the timeout after stream reconnection to make the pause/unpause
experience more responsive. The 200ms delay is sufficient for the browser
to clear buffers and start the fresh stream while minimizing perceived lag.
- Detect pauses longer than 10 seconds across all player modes
- Intercept 'playing' event to stop stale buffered audio
- Force stream reconnect to get live audio after long pause
- Reset and reinitialize spectrum analyzer during reconnect
- Prevent 'Now Playing' updates while stream is paused
- Move spectrum-analyzer.lisp to parenscript/ directory
- Update all documentation dates to 2025-12-06
- Add comprehensive project statistics (408 commits, 9,300 LOC)
- Add Phase 9 (Visual Audio Features) to project history
Fixes issue where resuming playback after a long pause would play
old buffered audio instead of the current live stream. The fix uses
the 'playing' event to detect when stale audio starts and immediately
stops it, then reconnects to get fresh stream data.
All player modes updated: main player, front page, popout, and frame player.
- Reduced Icecast burst-size from 64KB to 8KB to minimize buffer accumulation
- Fixed spectrum analyzer to only create MediaElementSource once
- Added resetSpectrumAnalyzer() function to allow reconnection
- Prevent now-playing info updates when stream is paused across all players:
* Player page
* Front page
* Pop-out player
* Frame player
* Admin page
- After pause >10s, reconnect stream and reinitialize spectrum analyzer
- Preserves spectrum analyzer functionality after pause/unpause
- Eliminates stuttering and buffer accumulation issues

Implements feature request from fade to show recently played tracks
with linkage to track info at music database.

All UI issues resolved:
✓ User management page fully functional
✓ Session persists across navigation
✓ Profile page loads without errors
✓ Correct nav links shown based on role
✓ Admin sees Admin link, regular users don't
Core Features:
- Login redirects based on user role (admin -> /admin, users -> /profile)
- User registration redirects to /profile page
- Convert user management APIs to use define-api (Radiance standard)
- Add user statistics API endpoint
- Add create user API endpoint
- Add list users API endpoint
Authentication & Authorization:
- Update require-role to return proper JSON for API requests
- Fix password verification with debug logging
- Add reset-user-password function for admin use
API Endpoints (using define-api):
- /api/asteroid/users - Get all users (admin only)
- /api/asteroid/user-stats - Get user statistics (admin only)
- /api/asteroid/users/create - Create new user (admin only)
Bug Fixes:
- Fix JavaScript API path for user-stats endpoint
- Remove dependency on non-existent radiance:api-output
- Use api-output for proper JSON responses
Testing:
- Admin login redirects to /asteroid/admin ✓
- Regular user login redirects to /asteroid/profile ✓
- User creation working (testuser created successfully) ✓
- User statistics loading correctly ✓
Known Issues (non-blocking):
- User table display needs UI fixes
- Profile page needs additional API endpoints
- Session persistence on navigation needs investigation
- Update API paths from /asteroid/api/ to /api/asteroid/ in users.js and profile.js
- Add RADIANCE API wrapper handling for icecast-status responses
- Improve error handling in player.js loadTracks function
- All frontend code now properly handles define-api response format
- Converted 15 API endpoints from define-page to define-api
- Added JSON API format configuration for proper JSON responses
