HOTFIX RELEASE (v1.3.1+9)

This is a Hotfix focused on background playback reliability and next-track loading stability.

NEW FEATURES

• Refactored YouTube extraction into a dedicated native backend module: backend/youtube (YoutubeExtractorBridge + YoutubeExtractorEngine)
• Added next-track stream prefetch (URL warm-up) to reduce transition delay between songs
• Added load watchdog recovery flow to prevent endless loading states
• Improved extractor request pipeline and retry routing for transient network failures

BUG FIXES / IMPROVEMENTS

• Fixed background playback issue where next song sometimes got stuck fetching forever
• Fixed inconsistent auto-next behavior when app is minimized/backgrounded
• Fixed mini player bottom displacement on Samsung/gesture-inset devices
• Improved skip/retry safety with serialized next handling and stronger transient error recovery
• Reduced duplicate extraction calls via in-flight resolve deduplication
• Switched from runtime google_fonts fetching to bundled local TTF fonts

HOTFIX FOCUS

• Main hotfix target: “stuck loading ring + broken next-song transition in background playback”
• Result: background queue progression is now significantly more reliable under transient extraction/network issues

UPCOMING (work in progress)

• Move yt-dlp init fully to Application lifecycle for even stronger background safety
• Further tuning for low-end device playback transitions
