v0.114.0 binaries reported version 0.0.0 in the web UI. Two root causes,
both fixed here.
1. The release build relied solely on Go's VCS stamping of
info.Main.Version and never injected a version. When v0.114.0 was
re-released via workflow_dispatch from `main` (one commit past the
tag) with a shallow checkout, no tag was reachable, so Go stamped a
v0.0.0-<ts>-<sha> pseudo-version. The asset filenames used the
validated input version, so the files were named v0.114.0 but
reported 0.0.0 at runtime.
2. The `release` and `workflow_dispatch` triggers followed two distinct
patterns. On `release` every job's checkout landed on the tagged
commit (GITHUB_SHA == tag); on `workflow_dispatch` they all built
whatever branch the run started from. So a manual dispatch built the
wrong source entirely (binaries and Docker images alike).
Changes:
- Unify both triggers on the git tag. `validate` resolves the tag once
(inputs.tag on dispatch, release.tag_name on a release event), verifies
it exists in git, and exposes it as an output. Every other job checks
out `ref: needs.validate.outputs.tag`, so the build is always the
tagged commit regardless of trigger. The dispatch path now re-releases
an existing tag (push the tag first) instead of creating one from a
branch; it fails fast if the tag is missing.
- Inject -X main.version/commit/date into the release binaries, mirroring
the Dockerfile (which has done this since #422). version/commit no
longer depend on git stamping; commit is read from the checked-out HEAD
(not github.sha, which on dispatch is the branch HEAD). Both binaries
and Docker images take the v-prefixed tag (needs.validate.outputs.tag)
so the displayed version stays "v0.114.0", matching prior releases.
- Guard updateBuildInfo() in all four cmd/*/main.go so an injected
version (version != "dev") is never clobbered by a VCS pseudo-version.
`go install …@vX.Y.Z` still resolves the tag via build info as before.
- Collapse the duplicated `if event_name == workflow_dispatch` tag
derivations and route tag/version through needs.validate.outputs.*.

soundtouch-web was a transitional alias of soundtouch-player. Stop
building and publishing it everywhere, and refresh the release notes
while at it:
- release.yml: remove the soundtouch-web binary, its individual and
combined checksums, and its release assets (EXPECTED_COUNT 35 -> 28);
drop the ghcr.io/...-web Docker image steps. Also slim the
workflow_dispatch release notes to an accurate AfterTouch header plus
GitHub's auto-generated changelog, with the bare tag as the title.
- Dockerfile: drop the soundtouch-web image stage.
- Makefile: remove WEB_NAME and the build-web target (and its use in
build/install).
- Delete scripts/raspberry-pi/install-web.sh (it fetched a release asset
that is no longer published) and point the docs at install-player.sh.
- Correct README, CLAUDE.md, and main.go wording that claimed the alias
was still published.
The runtime notice for a binary still run under the soundtouch-web name
is kept, so anyone who renamed the binary is nudged to soundtouch-player.

The web player is intrinsically LAN-resident: it reaches speakers directly
and only delegates cloud-only features (e.g. TTS) to a possibly-remote
AfterTouch service via --service-url. That is exactly what a cloud-hosted
soundtouch-service cannot do, so the standalone player binary stays useful
and is not being deprecated. Rename it to state its purpose, with a
transition window so existing downloads keep working.
- cmd/soundtouch-web -> cmd/soundtouch-player; CLI name is now
soundtouch-player. When the binary is invoked under its old name it prints
a one-line rename notice (filepath.Base(os.Args[0])).
- Build/release both names from the same source: Makefile (build-player +
build-web alias, dev-player* targets), Dockerfile (soundtouch-player image
+ transitional soundtouch-web image), release.yml and ci.yml (player +
web artifacts, checksums, Docker images; release notes announce the
rename). The soundtouch-web binary, image, and install script remain a
transitional alias to be dropped in a future release (which will break
stale fetch scripts and nudge users to the release notes).
- scripts/raspberry-pi/install-player.sh is canonical; install-web.sh keeps
working but warns.
- Sweep docs, code comments, user-facing strings, and assets
(soundtouch-web-ui.png, soundtouch-web-tunein.png, soundtouch-web-roadmap.md)
to soundtouch-player; README documents the rename and why the player
remains separate from the embedded /app.
