Direzione di ricerca

Start by reading the issue's references to the driver extraction and lib/bin split, plus the existing saved-device path and StreamingPlayer entry points. The issue identifies single-instance locking, auth/cache sharing and handoff, shutdown, and platform autostart as open design requirements; there are no specific files or tests named. Done means a persistent headless Connect device can serve CLI playback without conflicting with the TUI or leaving a ghost device.

Descrizione

enhancement

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

The CLI is a remote control for an existing Spotify device. After #465 it can activate a listed idle device, but when no Spotify client is open anywhere there is still nothing to make sound: spotatui playback --toggle on a machine with no running player has no target. The CLI process itself cannot host native streaming because it is one-shot; the audio pipeline and the Connect device would die the moment the command exits. Building a librespot session per shell invocation is also the short-lived connect/disconnect pattern that produced the ghost Connect devices of #297, and it would add a session handshake of a second or two to every command.

Today the answer is "keep the TUI running in a terminal somewhere", which works but should not be a requirement for shell-driven playback.

Describe the solution you'd like

A spotatui daemon subcommand: one persistent headless process that owns a StreamingPlayer as a long-lived Spotify Connect device (in the spirit of spotifyd), while the CLI stays a thin remote that reaches it through the existing saved-device path. Rough scope:

  • single-instance locking so a second daemon (or a TUI with native streaming) does not fight over the persisted Connect device_id
  • shared auth and cache with the TUI, with a defined handoff when the TUI starts while the daemon runs (or mutual exclusion)
  • clean shutdown (spotatui daemon --stop or signal handling) so no ghost device is left behind
  • an autostart story per platform (systemd unit, Windows service or startup task, launchd)

Describe alternatives you've considered

  • Embedding librespot in each one-shot CLI invocation: audio stops when the process exits, session churn risks ghost devices (#297), and every command pays the connect latency.
  • Requiring a running TUI instance: works today (#465 activates its device from the CLI) but ties background playback to an open terminal.
  • Doing nothing: acceptable for users who always have the official client or the TUI open, which is exactly the assumption #464 showed does not hold.

Additional context

A long-lived headless core process overlaps heavily with the frontend-neutral substrate work already underway (driver extraction, lib/bin split). The daemon and any future non-terminal frontend want the same thing: a core that owns playback and state without a terminal attached. Designing the daemon as a consumer of that substrate, rather than a CLI bolt-on, keeps one core instead of two.
