Based on real device testing, the /trackInfo endpoint returns
'AllegroWebserver timeout' errors despite being documented in the
official Bose SoundTouch Web API v1.0 specification.
## Changes
- Updated API coverage from 89% to 84% (16/19 functional endpoints)
- Marked /trackInfo as ❌ Non-functional in all documentation
- Added warning comments to GetTrackInfo() method
- Updated CLI command with warning message
- Recommend using /now_playing instead for track information
## Real Device Evidence
- Device: SoundTouch at 192.168.178.28:8090
- Error: 'AllegroWebserver timeout: /trackInfo'
- Status: Endpoint documented but not working on hardware
This reflects the reality that some officially documented endpoints
may not function properly on actual devices, emphasizing the importance
of real hardware testing in API implementation.
Implements the remaining zone slave management endpoints from the official
Bose SoundTouch Web API v1.0 specification, bringing API coverage to 89%.
## New Features

- Fix inaccuracies in API-Endpoints-Overview.md:
* Mark bassCapabilities, trackInfo, and SetName as implemented
* Update zone management and WebSocket status to implemented
* Correct official API coverage from 94% to 84%
- Update README.md API coverage table:
* Add missing implemented endpoints (bassCapabilities, trackInfo, SetName)
* Add missing official endpoints with proper status
* Update implementation percentage to reflect actual coverage
- Add comprehensive API-COVERAGE-ANALYSIS.md:
* Complete analysis of 16/19 official endpoints implemented (84%)

* Detailed impact assessment of 3 missing professional endpoints
* Analysis of superior zone management implementation
* Testing coverage and recommendations
Key findings:
- All essential functionality is 100% implemented
- Missing endpoints are low-impact professional/audiophile features
- Zone management uses superior high-level API vs low-level official approach
- Extended features include balance, clock, and network management
- Comprehensive WebSocket event system implemented
- Create OFFICIAL-API-VERIFICATION.md with complete analysis
- Verify our implementation against official Bose SoundTouch Web API v1.0
