Confirmed working on a real speaker (Bose_Lisa/27.0.6): the speaker GETs
/v1/auth at audionotification.api.bosecm.com (DNS-redirected to us) with
the app_key in an "Apikeyheader" header, and an empty 200 is sufficient.
- Make "speaker" the default playback method (ducks + resumes the current
playback, supports volume) for the speak endpoint, the CLI --method flag,
and the web UI button; "radio" remains opt-in.
- Remove the temporary full-request debug dump from /v1/auth now that the
contract is understood; document it in the handler comment instead.

Replaces the awkward top-level `tts speak --speaker-host` with a
`speaker tts-cloud` subcommand that sits alongside the existing
`speaker tts` and uses the global --host flag (--device still works as
an alternative). The two are now clearly related: `speaker tts` sends a
Google Translate URL straight to the speaker, while `speaker tts-cloud`
routes through the service for server-side synthesis (Cloud TTS) and
playback. --speaker-host is gone.

The TTS speak/config endpoints were under /mgmt (Basic-Auth protected),
but the soundtouch-web proxy and CLI authenticated with their own
mgmt-password default (empty) while the service defaults to "change_me!",
so speaking from -web returned 401.
This was also inconsistent: the Google API key is configured via the
unauthenticated /setup/settings, and Play URL already proxies to /setup,
so gating only TTS playback behind mgmt auth made no sense. Move
/mgmt/tts/{speak,config} to /setup/tts/{speak,config} (LAN-trust, like
the rest of the setup surface), rename the handlers accordingly, and drop
the now-unused mgmt-credential plumbing from soundtouch-web and the CLI
tts command.
Verified: POST /setup/tts/speak now reaches the handler without auth
(502 only because the test speaker IP is unreachable; previously 401).

Adds text-to-speech that synthesizes higher-quality audio (Google Cloud
TTS) and plays it on a speaker via the /speaker endpoint. Because Cloud
TTS returns audio bytes (not a fetchable URL), the service caches the
clip and hosts it at GET /media/tts/{id}, mirroring the "ding" endpoint,
then points the speaker at that local URL.
The design is a pluggable Provider interface (pkg/service/tts) wrapping
two modes:
- translate: hands the speaker the (undocumented) Google Translate URL
directly (no credentials), reusing models.BuildTranslateTTSURL.
- google-cloud: REST API key auth (no SDK/gRPC), bytes cached locally.
Surfaces:
- service: POST /mgmt/tts/speak, GET /mgmt/tts/config, GET /media/tts/{id};
configured via TTS_PROVIDER / TTS_GOOGLE_API_KEY / TTS_LANGUAGE /
TTS_VOICE / TTS_APP_KEY / TTS_VOLUME.
- CLI: `soundtouch-cli tts speak` (calls the service with mgmt Basic Auth).
- web: a "TTS" source view (like Play URL / TuneIn), proxied to the
service via /api/device-speak/{id}.
The /speaker app_key requirement and model limitations still apply; see
docs/content/docs/reference/SPEAKER-ENDPOINT.md.

The `find` family runs the search inside the CLI, querying the radio
provider's public API directly (no speaker cloud, no soundtouch-service).
Make it the canonical path and deprecate the speaker-based search family.
- Add `find-tunein` and `find-radiobrowser` siblings; refactor the find
actions onto a shared `runFind` helper (all support `--more`).
- Rename the unreleased `search-radiobrowser` to `find-radiobrowser`.
- Deprecate `search`, `search-tunein`, `search-pandora`, `search-spotify`:
they keep working but print a stderr deprecation notice (new
`PrintDeprecation` helper) pointing at the `find*` replacement. Pandora
and Spotify have no built-in equivalent yet (they need the speaker +
account), so their notices say so.
- Docs: lead with the `find` family as recommended; mark the speaker-based
search commands deprecated; drop the misleading "service-side" wording
in favour of "built-in / queries the provider directly".
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Add CLI-REFERENCE entries for the new service-side search commands
(`station find --provider tunein|radiobrowser [--more]` and
`station search-radiobrowser`), with a subsection explaining they run
the search in AfterTouch itself — working without the speaker's live
cloud and without a reachable --host. Also document the pre-existing
but undocumented `station list`.

Documents the iptables block that SoundTouch firmware (since 2018)
applies to traffic from other subnets, which prevents AfterTouch from
being reachable when the speaker and server are on different VLANs.
Two fixes: targeted ACCEPT rule (from spookie85, discussion #354) and
the simpler DROP-line comment-out (from dekiesel). Also notes the ST20
Series I outbound-port restriction on non-standard ports (gmuth).
Outgoing link kept to our own discussion #354 for attribution; the
external third-party issue link is omitted as it may go stale.

Following user feedback (Lang, issue #432 thread) the docs guides now
contain all operational detail — installation, configuration, service
management, logs, updates, and removal — and the scripts READMEs become
thin pointers to the docs rather than the other way around.
RASPBERRY-PI.md: expanded to cover soundtouch-web alongside
soundtouch-service (install, config, port-conflict note, service
management, logs, update, removal, arch auto-detection, security).
scripts/raspberry-pi/README.md: trimmed to a quick-start with the two
one-liners plus a link to the docs guide.
EXTERNAL-HOST-WALKTHROUGH.md Step 7: replaces the vague "download from
Releases" note with the actual install-web.sh one-liner and a link to
RASPBERRY-PI.md#soundtouch-web; adds a non-Pi install option too.
ON-DEVICE-INSTALL-WALKTHROUGH.md: removed both back-references to
scripts/on-device-install/README.md; added self-contained sections for
Updating (with rollback tip), Service management, Logs, and Uninstalling
so the walkthrough is complete without leaving the docs.

EXTERNAL-HOST-WALKTHROUGH.md — Step 7 "Via soundtouch-web":
Replaced the single save path with two labelled options:
- ★ Star button: appears in the Now Playing card's top-right corner,
opens a slot picker (1–6), turns gold once mapped.
- + button: appears on each preset tile on hover, saves directly to
that slot without a picker.
Added a one-liner on when to use each.
PRESET-QUICKSTART.md:
New "Via soundtouch-web (browser UI)" section added above the CLI
section, covering both the ★ star and + paths with step-by-step
instructions.
soundtouch-web-roadmap.md:
- Added a "Shipped" callout noting that preset-slot saving is done.
- Retitled the Favorites section to "Favorites (device-native, distinct
from presets)" and added a note clarifying it refers to the speaker's
/favorites API (different from the 6 preset slots) which is still
pending.

The docs framework renders frontmatter title: as the page heading.
Every file that also had a matching # Heading as the first content
line displayed the title twice. Removed the redundant H1 and its
following blank line from all 91 affected files.

Migration guide: expand the one-liner after SSH setup into a concrete
'To disable SSH' section covering both the USB-stick and persistent-file
cases, with the button name and CLI command.
Admin UI:
- Preconditions label: 'remote_services' → 'SSH (remote_services)'
with a tooltip explaining the connection
- Buttons: 'Enable/Remove Persistent Remote Services' →
'Enable SSH (Persist remote_services)' /
'Disable SSH (Remove remote_services)'
- Confirm dialog: mentions SSH and reboot requirement explicitly
- Verdict text: all three states now lead with 'SSH ...' so users
recognise what the check controls

- /sponsor landing page lists both options with feature cards
- Navbar heart icon and footer sponsor link both point to /sponsor
instead of directly to GitHub Sponsors, so PayPal is equally reachable
- No GitHub account required for PayPal path

Migration Guide step 1:
- Add 'Download pre-built binary' as the first option (no Go required)
- Add install-script option for Raspberry Pi / on-device deployments
- Move 'go install' to last (developer option)
- Add data/ directory callout: single directory to back up for a full restore
SoundTouch Service guide:
- Mention RadioBrowser alongside TuneIn in the BMX section
- Add soundtouch-web TuneIn search screenshot

The previous link aimed at a Go-developer getting-started page. Most
users are not Go developers — they want to migrate their speakers.
MIGRATION-GUIDE is the right first destination.

Covers what AfterTouch delivers today: migration (existing account and
factory-reset paths), marge+bmx replacement, TuneIn+RadioBrowser, Spotify,
presets, ST-10 stereo pairing, soundtouch-cli automation, soundtouch-web
browser UI, and the three installation options (on-device, local host /
Raspberry Pi Zero 2W, cloud/VPS).
Includes screenshot of the soundtouch-web UI (Spotify playback, presets,
sources, zone management).

- blog/_index.md: add introductory sentence to the News & Updates index
- .claude/commands/blog-update.md: project skill that drafts a monthly
update post from git history and opens a draft PR for review
- .gitignore: .claude/* + !.claude/commands/ so the skill is tracked
while session state (settings.local.json, worktrees/) stays ignored

The hextra/hero-button and hextra/feature-card shortcodes call
Hugo's relURL on any link starting with '/'. relURL prepends the
baseURL sub-path — but the deployed site was producing /docs/...
instead of /Bose-SoundTouch/docs/..., meaning relURL was seeing
a baseURL with no sub-path (likely just the domain).
Rather than depend on relURL working correctly at build time,
remove the leading slash from all four internal links. Bare paths
are emitted verbatim by the shortcode and are resolved by the
browser relative to the page's own URL (/Bose-SoundTouch/ on
GitHub Pages, / on local dev) — correct in both environments.
