- resolves an issue related to electron-builder continuing to download and install updates despite only calling checkForUpdates
- adds indicator to settings / app menu on new version found
mpv/ffmpeg had no network-level timeout or reconnect options, so a
network stream left open across a system sleep would block forever on
the now-dead TCP connection instead of failing or reconnecting. Since
Node-MPV's IPC commands only resolve when mpv replies, a wedged mpv
process also made quit()/restart hang indefinitely, so the only way
out was to kill the whole app.
- Add --network-timeout and ffmpeg reconnect options to mpv's default
parameters so a stalled stream fails fast instead of hanging.
- Make the quit() helper resilient to an unresponsive mpv process by
racing it against a timeout and force-killing as a fallback.
- Listen for Electron's powerMonitor 'resume' event and tell the
renderer to reload mpv, so playback recovers automatically instead
of requiring a manual app restart.
* fix: better handling of custom font
Practically speaking, custom font seems to have only worked on Linux, because
`net.fetch` would include the mime type in the response headers which could validate the payload.
This doesn't appear to be the case on windows/macOS. Instead:
1. On Linux (or if some other system supports it), check the content type. If good, serve as normal
2. Otherwise, fetch the payload. Read the first four to five bytes and check for a valid magic number.
Additionally, to prevent arbitrary requests fetching other paths via injected content, sync the custom font path
to the main process, and then make _every_ request to `feishin:/` point to the same renderer path.
When setting the font, first send the path to the main process. This will register `feishin:/` to point
to the path provided. This is done via a promise-based set.
Finally, provide a default value for the file input (a best effort approximation for the last part of the file path)
on the file input component.
* make the linter happy
The command-palette-specific IPC approach didn't cover other modals
with inputs (settings search, playlist creation, etc.). Replace it
with document-level focusin/focusout listeners that signal the main
process whenever any input/textarea/contenteditable gains or loses
focus, so the menu rebuild is triggered automatically for all current
and future input surfaces.

On macOS, menu item accelerators (e.g. Space for Play/Pause) fire even
when an input has focus, bypassing the renderer-side useHotkeys guard
added in #1925. Typing a space character in the command palette search
toggled play/pause instead of inserting a space.
Track command palette open state in the main process via IPC. When the
palette is open, rebuild the application menu with empty playback
accelerators so single-key shortcuts no longer intercept keystrokes
intended for the search input. Restore accelerators when the palette
closes.

The setDisplayMediaRequestHandler was calling desktopCapturer.getSources()
to provide a video source that the renderer never uses (it requests
video: false and only consumes audio tracks). On Wayland, this created a
new xdg-desktop-portal ScreenCast session on every launch, showing an
unavoidable screen share dialog because Electron does not persist
PipeWire restore tokens across desktopCapturer sessions.
Simplified the handler to return only { audio: 'loopback' }, which
captures system audio via PipeWire/PulseAudio monitor source without
any portal interaction.
1. MPRIS (or `mpris-service`) is very fragile. If an invalid `mpris:trackid` (something with `-` or spaces) is passed in, it breaks. Use a minimal track id instead
2. Only populate album/artist/title
