Host-facing:
- Info.plist requests a 440x340 expanded panel via the new
MioPluginPreferredWidth/MioPluginPreferredHeight keys (MioIsland
v2.1.8+). Old hosts ignore the keys and use their default.
UI:
- Fix vertical stretching of the playing card. Outer ZStack now centers
children instead of wrapping in a maxHeight:.infinity frame which was
letting an inner Spacer propagate fill-height up to the top-level VStack.
- Hero HStack clipped to album art height (128pt) so the meta column
can't bleed a fill-height hint upward either.
Data:
- Apple Music artwork is now fetched via a temp file (write artwork data
of current track to /tmp, load NSImage from disk). First-class cover art
instead of the generic music.note placeholder.
- apply(appleScript:) clears albumArt when the track identity changes so
the next refresh reloads cover art for the new track.
Latency:
- Poll interval 3s → 1.5s. Track changes typically reflect within 2s.
- Also subscribe to the legacy com.apple.iTunes.playerInfo distributed
notification in addition to com.apple.Music.playerInfo — some builds of
Music.app still emit the iTunes name.

UI polish (ExpandedView rewrite):
- Horizontal hero row: 128×128 album art on the left, title/artist/
album + source badge on the right. Half the vertical footprint of
v2.0.0 at the same info density.
- Dropped the "NOW PLAYING" eyebrow (redundant with the source badge).
- Tightened outer padding 28 → 20, inter-section spacing 22-28 → 16.
- Play button 56 → 48, prev/next 44 → 36; still 44pt tap targets via
the invisible hover frame.
AppleScript timeout fix (the real bug, unrelated to UI):
- Every fetch() script now wraps the `tell application` block in
`with timeout of N seconds` (2s for Spotify/Music, 3s for Chrome).
- Music.app hanging was stalling the entire source router for 120s
(default AppleEvent timeout), freezing the UI on stale Spotify data.
- runAppleScript() suppresses error -1712 (errAETimeout) alongside
existing -600 / -1728 — expected, not noisy.
Info.plist: CFBundleShortVersionString 2.0.0 → 2.0.1,
CFBundleVersion 2 → 3.

Replaces the v1.0.0 shell (MediaRemote-only, non-functional on macOS 15.4+)
with a layered design that handles four playback sources with sticky source
priority routing:
NowPlayingState (orchestrator, @MainActor, 3s poll + notifications)
├─ MediaRemote (private framework, dlopen)
├─ Spotify AppleScript (desktop)
├─ Apple Music AppleScript (desktop)
└─ Chrome JS injection (YouTube / SoundCloud / web music)
UI:
- Large album art with color-extracted gradient background
- Title / artist / album + source badge
- Draggable seek bar with hover-grow affordance
- Prev / Play·Pause (56pt lime button) / Next controls
- Header slot: 20x20 icon + 3-bar pseudo-spectrum that pulses while playing
- Bi-lingual (zh / en), follows host appLanguage
Graceful degradation:
- Host < v2.1.7 → upgrade banner (NSAppleEventsUsageDescription required)
- QQ Music / NetEase / Kugou detected → "desktop unsupported, try web version"
- Empty state with hint to play something in supported apps
Build layout:
Sources/ root (MioPlugin.swift contract + MusicPlugin principal)
Sources/sources/ data sources
Sources/ui/ SwiftUI views
Sources/support/ ChineseAppDetector / HostVersionCheck / Localization
build.sh now recursively finds .swift under Sources/.
Breaking-ish: plugin id ("music-player") and bundle ID preserved. Users on
v1.0.0 can upgrade in place via the plugin store.
Requires: MioIsland host >= v2.1.7 for full functionality.
