fix(#308): handle placeholder presets without panicking

The ST10's /presets response after a factory reset emits self-closing
<preset/> entries with no ContentItem child. cmd/soundtouch-cli's
getPresets() handled the missing ContentItem in GetDisplayName() but
then dereferenced preset.ContentItem.Source on the next line, panicking
with "invalid memory address or nil pointer dereference" the moment the
loop reached the first empty entry.

A second placeholder shape was observed on healthy devices that were
never reset: <preset id="0"><ContentItem source="INVALID_SOURCE"
isPresetable="true"/></preset>. ContentItem is non-nil here, so the
previous "ContentItem != nil" guard at other call sites still let
these placeholders through into listings and into the AfterTouch
datastore.

Fix shape:

  pkg/models/presets.go - extend Preset.IsEmpty() to recognise both
  shapes (ContentItem == nil, OR Source == "" / "INVALID_SOURCE").
  HasPresets, GetEmptyPresetSlots and GetUsedPresetSlots become honest
  about which slots actually carry playable content.

  cmd/soundtouch-cli/cmd_info.go (the crash site) - filter the slice
  via IsEmpty before the print loop, and switch the still-printed
  fields to the existing nil-safe Get* helpers.

  pkg/service/setup/setup.go - upgrade syncPresets's "ContentItem ==
  nil" continue-guard to IsEmpty so Shape B placeholders don't get
  persisted in the AfterTouch datastore and then surface as junk
  rows in the admin web UI.

  cmd/soundtouch-cli/cmd_events.go, cmd/websocket-demo/main.go - same
  nil-guard upgrade. These already nil-checked so were crash-safe;
  the change is for consistency and to stop printing
  "Preset 0:  (INVALID_SOURCE)" demo lines.

  examples/preset-management/main.go - had the same latent crash as
  cmd_info.go; same fix shape.

Regression tests in pkg/models/presets_test.go cover both shapes using
the exact XML observed in the wild: the reporter's three <preset/>
placeholders plus the three INVALID_SOURCE entries from a live device.
The reporter XML test walks every preset through the same accessor
path the CLI used and asserts no panic.

The soundtouch-web Go code does not deref preset.ContentItem.X
anywhere - presets flow through as JSON - so no separate crash trap
exists there. The web frontend will pick up the cleaner data once
syncPresets stops persisting placeholders.

Closes #308

 ```
 
-## Boot Primer Script
+## Priming Speakers
 
-A boot primer script that uses these endpoints to feed Spotify tokens to speakers via ZeroConf is available in the `scripts/spotify/` directory: [spotify-boot-primer.sh](../../scripts/spotify/spotify-boot-primer.sh).
-
-This script can be installed on the speaker itself (which runs embedded Linux) to automatically prime Spotify Connect at boot time. See [README.md](../../scripts/spotify/README.md) and [INSTALL.md](../../scripts/spotify/INSTALL.md) for instructions.
-
-### Automated Installation via Service
-
-The SoundTouch service provides a dedicated management endpoint to automatically handle the installation of the Spotify boot primer on the speaker:
-`POST /mgmt/devices/{deviceId}/spotify/install-primer`
-
-### Automated Installation Steps
-When you run the Spotify primer installation, the service performs the following:
-1.  **Directories**: Creates `/mnt/nv/bin` and `/mnt/nv/BoseApp-Persistence/1` on the speaker.
-2.  **Binary**: Uploads the `spotify-boot-primer` script to the speaker.
-3.  **Configuration**: Automatically generates and uploads `spotify-primer.conf` containing the service's URL and management credentials.
-4.  **Boot Hook**: Injects a call to the primer in the speaker's `/mnt/nv/rc.local` using idempotent markers.
-5.  **Environment**: Updates `/mnt/nv/.profile` to include `/mnt/nv/bin` in the `PATH` for easier manual troubleshooting via SSH.
-
-- **Idempotent Patching**: The service uses explicit markers to inject the hook, ensuring it doesn't corrupt existing content.
-- **Coexistence**: The service-injected hook is designed to coexist with a manually installed `rc.local` (e.g., from the community gist). It only adds a call to `/mnt/nv/bin/spotify-boot-primer` if it's not already managed by a service-controlled block.
-- **Markers**: Look for the following markers in your speaker's `/mnt/nv/rc.local`:
-  - `# --- Aftertouch Spotify hook START ---`
-  - `# --- Aftertouch Spotify hook END ---`
-- **Cleanup**: Reverting a migration via the service will cleanly remove these marker-delimited blocks.
+> **Note:** The on-device boot-primer flow (installing `spotify-boot-primer.sh` onto the speaker's `/mnt/nv` and hooking it from `rc.local`) is **deprecated**. AfterTouch now uses a server-centric model: the service registers a `SPOTIFY` source in marge for the device's paired account and pushes credentials via ZeroConf from the server side, triggered on `power_on` and a manual "Prime" action. See [spotify-priming-strategy.md](spotify-priming-strategy.md) for the current model and rationale.
+>
+> The artifacts under `scripts/spotify/` are kept as historical reference for users who still rely on the on-device approach. There is no longer a `/mgmt/devices/{deviceId}/spotify/install-primer` endpoint.

+# Spotify on SoundTouch — Overview
+
+This is the entry point for understanding how Spotify works on a SoundTouch
+speaker behind AfterTouch. Read this first; the deeper docs assume you already
+have the mental model below.
+
+> **Premium likely required.** As far as we know, Spotify Connect on
+> SoundTouch only works with a Spotify Premium account — this matches our
+> testing and matches what other SoundTouch-replacement projects report, but
+> we have not exhaustively verified every account tier or region. None of the
+> workarounds in this document change Spotify's account-tier requirements.
+
+## Two completely separate Spotify paths
+
+These are routinely confused. They share a speaker and a Spotify account, but
+they ride on different infrastructure and fail for different reasons.
+
+### 1. Spotify Connect (speaker-native, independent of AfterTouch)
+
+- The speaker advertises itself on the LAN as a Spotify Connect endpoint
+  (mDNS service `_spotify-connect._tcp`).
+- You open the Spotify app on your phone or desktop, tap the Connect device
+  picker, and select the SoundTouch.
+- Audio streams directly from Spotify's CDN to the speaker. Token handling,
+  session setup, and playback all happen between Spotify and the speaker.
+- **AfterTouch is not involved.** It still works even if AfterTouch is
+  offline.
+
+This is the simplest path. If you only want to push playback from your phone,
+you do not need to link Spotify to AfterTouch at all — see [Manual kick-start
+alternative](#manual-kick-start-alternative) below.
+
+### 2. OAuth-intercept path (managed by AfterTouch)
+
+This is what enables features that originate **from the speaker**:
+
+- Spotify presets on the speaker's buttons.
+- Spotify playback from the Bose app's source picker.
+- "Resume Spotify" after a power cycle without touching the Spotify app.
+
+After Bose's cloud shutdown (May 2026), the speaker can no longer reach
+Bose's OAuth server for Spotify token refresh. AfterTouch intercepts those
+calls via DNS, brokers tokens with Spotify using your linked account, and
+hands them back to the speaker.
+
+The rest of this document describes that path.
+
+## Setup at a glance
+
+Full step-by-step is in
+[docs/guides/MUSIC-SERVICES.md](../guides/MUSIC-SERVICES.md). Summary:
+
+1. **Register a Spotify developer app** (one-time, by the AfterTouch operator).
+2. **Configure AfterTouch** with the Client ID, Client Secret, and Redirect
+   URI in the Settings tab.
+3. **Authorize your Spotify account** via the Local Account tab — completes
+   the OAuth flow and persists a long-lived refresh token to AfterTouch's
+   datastore.
+4. **Prime each speaker** so its source list and ZeroConf state know about
+   Spotify.
+
+After step 4, presets and Bose-app-initiated Spotify playback work.
+
+## The DNS rewrite — easy to miss, breaks everything
+
+Bose firmware does **not** read a separate OAuth server hostname from
+configuration. It derives the OAuth host from the marge host by inserting
+`oauth` into the first label:
+
+| Purpose         | Hostname                  |
+|-----------------|---------------------------|
+| Marge / sources | `streaming.bose.com`      |
+| OAuth refresh   | `streamingoauth.bose.com` |
+
+**Both hostnames must resolve to AfterTouch.** AfterTouch's DNS server hijacks
+both, but if you bypass that DNS server (e.g. by hard-coding only the marge
+hostname in `/etc/hosts`, or by routing only one through a custom resolver),
+token refresh will silently die while the speaker still pulls sources.
+Symptom: the speaker briefly streams Spotify after priming, then stops at the
+first token refresh ~1 hour later.
+
+If you self-host AfterTouch at e.g. `aftertouch.local`, you would equivalently
+need `aftertouchoauth.local` for the OAuth interception path.
+
+## End-to-end token lifecycle
+
+What actually happens, from priming to steady-state playback:
+
+1. **Operator links Spotify account.** OAuth flow stores
+   `{user_id, refresh_token, bose_secret}` in `spotify/accounts.json`. The
+   `bose_secret` is an opaque surrogate (e.g. `bs-deadbeef…`) that AfterTouch
+   issues; the speaker only ever sees this surrogate, never the real Spotify
+   refresh token.
+2. **Priming runs.** Either on speaker `power_on`, on discovery, or on a
+   manual `POST /mgmt/spotify/prime`. AfterTouch:
+   - Resolves the speaker's currently-paired account via live `:8090/info`
+     (`margeAccountUUID`).
+   - Writes a `SPOTIFY` `ConfiguredSource` into marge under that account with
+     `secret = bose_secret`, `secretType = token_version_3`.
+   - POSTs `<updates><sourcesUpdated/></updates>` to the speaker's
+     `:8090/notification`, causing the speaker to re-fetch
+     `/streaming/account/{account}/full` and pick up the new source.
+   - Optionally pushes a fresh access token to the speaker's ZeroConf
+     endpoint (`:8200/zc?action=addUser`). This is best-effort — see
+     [ZeroConf clientId and benign 404s](#zeroconf-clientid-and-benign-404s).
+3. **Speaker pulls sources.** It now has a SPOTIFY entry with the surrogate
+   as its credential. The speaker stores this; from its perspective the
+   surrogate is the refresh token.
+4. **Speaker uses Spotify.** When it needs a fresh access token (every ~1 h
+   on Spotify's clock), it POSTs to
+   `streamingoauth.bose.com/oauth/device/{deviceID}/music/musicprovider/15/token/cs3`
+   with the surrogate.
+5. **AfterTouch translates.** DNS hijack routes the request to AfterTouch,
+   which looks up the surrogate, performs the real refresh against Spotify
+   using the stored refresh token, and returns the resulting access token to
+   the speaker.
+6. **Speaker uses the access token** for Spotify Web API metadata calls
+   (artwork, track lookups, playback container resolution).
+
+Forensic details of the request shapes are in
+[docs/reference/spotify-account-addition.md](../reference/spotify-account-addition.md).
+The cryptographic specifics of the ZeroConf `addUser` blob are in
+[spotify-priming-strategy.md](spotify-priming-strategy.md).
+
+## ZeroConf clientId and benign 404s
+
+`GET http://<speaker>:8200/zc?action=getInfo` returns, among other fields:
+
+```json
+"clientID": "79ebcb219e8e4e9a892e796607931810"
+"tokenType": "accesstoken"
+"activeUser": "<spotify-user-id-or-empty>"
+```
+
+That `clientID` is **Bose's official Spotify Connect partner client_id**,
+baked into firmware. It is **not** the client_id of the developer app you
+registered for AfterTouch — those are two unrelated OAuth apps, by design.
+The Bose-baked one is what Spotify Connect uses when a Spotify mobile app
+discovers the speaker on the LAN. The AfterTouch-registered one is what
+brokers refresh tokens for the OAuth-intercept path. They never converge.
+
+**Implication:** an access token AfterTouch obtained under its own client_id
+is not directly usable as a Spotify Connect session token. Pushing it via
+ZeroConf `addUser` is best-effort, and the speaker may respond with a `404`
+and an empty body when its `activeUser` already matches the username being
+pushed — that is the firmware's idiomatic "no transition required" signal,
+not a failure. AfterTouch recognises this case (`zeroconf.ErrAddUserNoOp`)
+and logs it as an expected no-op rather than an error.
+
+A 404 **with a body**, or any other non-2xx, is treated as a real failure
+and logged loudly with the response headers and body so it can be
+diagnosed.
+
+## Manual kick-start alternative
+
+You can skip the OAuth setup entirely if you only want playback pushed from
+the Spotify app:
+
+1. Open the Spotify mobile/desktop app.
+2. Start any track.
+3. Open the Connect device picker, select the SoundTouch.
+
+The speaker now holds an in-memory Spotify Connect session and can play
+until next reboot. Presets and Bose-app-initiated Spotify playback will
+still not work — those require the OAuth-intercept path — but Spotify-app-
+initiated playback does.

 ## How TLS works in AfterTouch

 Speakers expect HTTPS on the default port 443. Since binding to port 443 requires elevated privileges, you have three options:
 
-1. **Port forwarding (recommended)**: Run the service on port 8443 and forward port 443 to it using `iptables` or your firewall/router.
-2. **Capabilities**: Grant the binary permission to bind low ports: `sudo setcap 'cap_net_bind_service=+ep' ./soundtouch-service`
-3. **Reverse proxy**: Use Nginx or Caddy in front of the service (see below).
+1. **Port forwarding (recommended)**: Run the service on port 8443 and forward port 443 to it using `iptables` or your firewall/router. Inside an LXC/Docker container or on the host:
+
+    ```bash
+    iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp --dport 443 -j REDIRECT --to-port 8443
+    iptables -t nat -A OUTPUT     -p tcp --dport 443 -j REDIRECT --to-port 8443
+    ```
+
+    The first rule covers traffic arriving from speakers; the second covers loopback connections from the host itself (useful for the in-built pre-flight probe).
+
+2. **Capabilities**: Grant the binary permission to bind low ports and start the listener directly on `:443`:
+
+    ```bash
+    sudo setcap 'cap_net_bind_service=+ep' ./soundtouch-service
+    ./soundtouch-service --https-port=443
+    ```
+
+3. **Reverse proxy**: Use Nginx or Caddy on `:443` in front of the service (see below).
+
+### Confirming `:443` is reachable
+
+After applying any of the options above, open the AfterTouch web UI → **Settings**. The Target Domain row will show a second line:
+
+* ✅ `:443 reachable on localhost and <IP> (forwarded to :8443)` — you're good.
+* ❌ `Speakers connect to :443 but AfterTouch listens on :8443.` — the routing is missing or not yet active.
+
+A third line follows from the browser itself, which sits on the LAN exactly where the speakers do. The browser can't distinguish an untrusted-CA TLS error from a connection refusal, so it uses timing as a heuristic: a fast error means "no listener / firewall reset", a slower one means "something answered TCP". When the server-side and browser-side checks disagree, the UI flags it — that almost always means NAT, split-horizon DNS, or a host firewall sitting between AfterTouch and the LAN.
+
+The same check runs once at service startup and prints a `[WARN]` log line if `:443` is unreachable, with the exact iptables/setcap commands for your current listener port.
+
+#### When this check is shown
+
+The `:443` indicator is only displayed when **AfterTouch's DNS interception is enabled** (Settings → "Enable DNS Discovery Server"). The check is only meaningful for the **DNS migration method**, where speakers reach AfterTouch via intercepted Bose hostnames and therefore on the implicit `:443`. The other migration method — writing direct `https://<host>:8443/...` URLs into the speaker's private config via SSH — uses the port that's literally in the URL, so `:443` is irrelevant and the check would only add noise.
+
+If you intercept Bose hostnames **outside** AfterTouch (Pi-hole, router DNS rule, `/etc/hosts` on a gateway), the UI gate above will hide the indicator. The data is still in the `GET /setup/settings` JSON response (`https_443_localhost_reachable`, `https_443_lan_reachable`, `https_443_lan_host`) if you want to inspect it directly, or you can briefly enable AfterTouch's DNS server to see the indicator render.

+## Alternative: CLI-driven factory-reset workflow
+
+If you prefer scripting the migration, or the wizard isn't an option (headless server, automation, batch onboarding of many speakers), `soundtouch-cli` exposes the same building blocks. The flow below is **not** an in-place migration — it factory-resets the speaker and brings it up fresh against AfterTouch, so any data Bose preserved on the device is wiped. Use this when:
+
+- You're starting from a factory-reset speaker anyway.
+- The wizard's in-place migration didn't take and you want a clean slate.
+- You're scripting setup for many speakers and want a reproducible recipe.
+
+### Prerequisites
+
+- AfterTouch service running and reachable at a stable URL (e.g., `https://soundtouch.local` from your `.env`).
+- The speaker reachable on its current IP (passed as `--host`).
+- For the AP-mode handover step, your laptop must be able to join the speaker's `Bose SoundTouch` Wi-Fi (you'll switch between home Wi-Fi and the speaker's AP).
+
+### The full sequence
+
+```bash
+# 1. Plan what the reset+pair pipeline will write (dry run, no changes yet).
+soundtouch-cli --host 192.168.1.50 setup plan \
+  --reset=true --include-pair=false \
+  --service-url='https://soundtouch.local'
+
+# 2. Trigger the factory reset. The speaker reboots into AP mode.
+soundtouch-cli --host 192.168.1.50 setup factory-reset
+
+# --- Manual step: join the speaker's Wi-Fi AP (SSID "Bose SoundTouch ...") ---
+
+# 3. Wait for the AP-mode endpoint to answer.
+soundtouch-cli setup wait-ap
+
+# 4. Push your home Wi-Fi credentials to the speaker.
+#    Run twice if the first attempt's ACK races the AP teardown — the second
+#    one is a no-op if the first succeeded.
+soundtouch-cli setup wifi-push --ssid="YourHomeSSID" --pass='your-wifi-password'
+
+# --- Manual step: switch your laptop back to the home Wi-Fi network ---
+
+# 5. Wait for the speaker to come back online on the home network.
+#    --match takes the last 4-6 hex chars of the speaker's MAC (visible on
+#    the bottom of the device).
+soundtouch-cli setup wait-online --match=42CAFE
+
+# 6. Pair the speaker with an AfterTouch account.
+#    --mode=full runs the canonical WebSocket SETUP sequence (matches the
+#    Bose app's flow); --account is the 7-digit account ID AfterTouch
+#    should attach the speaker to.
+soundtouch-cli --host 192.168.1.50 setup pair \
+  --mode=full --account=1111111 \
+  --service-url='https://soundtouch.local'
+```
+
+### Verifying the result
+
+After pairing completes:
+
+- The speaker should appear on the **Devices** tab in the web UI.
+- AUX should switch and play audio when selected.
+- Pressing presets should fetch their content from AfterTouch (the `[LOG]` rows on the service confirm).
+- TuneIn search and playback should work end-to-end.
+
+If any of these fail post-pair, see [Troubleshooting](TROUBLESHOOTING.md) — most commonly the speaker just needs a power cycle to pick up everything cleanly.
+
+### Differences vs the wizard
+
+| Aspect                              | Wizard (in-place migration)                             | CLI factory-reset workflow                              |
+|-------------------------------------|---------------------------------------------------------|---------------------------------------------------------|
+| Preserves speaker's existing state  | yes (Presets, recents, attached account)                | **no** — wipes everything                               |
+| Requires Wi-Fi-network switching    | no                                                      | yes (laptop joins speaker AP, then home network)        |
+| Scriptable / reproducible           | clickable, not scriptable                               | full bash recipe                                        |
+| Cloud-side data (Bose Marge backup) | preserved if Sync ran while cloud was alive             | not relevant — fresh account on AfterTouch              |
+| Best for                            | "I want this speaker to keep working with what's on it" | "I want a clean, reproducible setup against AfterTouch" |
+
+The wizard is still the recommended path for a one-off migration of an existing setup. The CLI workflow is the right choice when you're scripting, batching, or already starting from a reset.

 ## 🌐 **Connection Issues**
 
+### ❌ Every cloud source shows `status="UNAVAILABLE"` / can't stream anything
+
+**Symptoms:**
+
+- The speaker's `/sources` (or the soundtouch-cli `source availability` output) lists every cloud-backed source — Spotify, TuneIn, Internet Radio, AirPlay, Amazon, Alexa — as `status="UNAVAILABLE"`.
+- Often only AUX shows `status="READY"`.
+- The speaker can be reached on the LAN (`:8090/info` works) but no Internet streaming source can be selected.
+
+This is a different failure mode from the [`Curl 7` case below](#-speaker-logs-curl-7-http-0-and-aftertouch-sees-no-http-requests): the speaker can reach AfterTouch but doesn't have the account state to authenticate any cloud surface, so every cloud handler 401s itself out.
+
+**Three-step diagnostic checklist** (in order — the cause is almost always one of these):
+
+#### 1. Is `:443` reachable on AfterTouch?
+
+The AfterTouch Settings tab now ships a preflight that flips ✅ / ❌ for whether the speaker can open a TLS handshake to AfterTouch's HTTPS listener. If `:443` is ❌, follow the steps in [HTTPS-SETUP.md → Binding to port 443](HTTPS-SETUP.md#binding-to-port-443).
+
+A failing preflight at this layer typically presents as `Curl 7, http 0` in the speaker's syslog (see the [`Curl 7` entry below](#-speaker-logs-curl-7-http-0-and-aftertouch-sees-no-http-requests) for the focused walkthrough).
+
+#### 2. Does the speaker have a `margeAccountUUID`?
+
+```bash
+curl -s http://<speaker-ip>:8090/info | xmllint --xpath '/info/margeAccountUUID/text()' -
+```
+
+If the element is empty (or you get no output), the speaker has no account token — every cloud surface that requires authentication will 401 itself out. The Migration tab in AfterTouch detects this and renders:
+
+> **Current: ❌ Not paired (factory-reset or never paired) — set an ID to pair as part of Apply**
+
+The Devices list also shows a `⚠ Not paired — re-pair` badge. To resolve, **open the Migration tab**, pick a previous account ID from the dropdown (or click **Generate**), and click **Apply** — same flow as the [factory-reset recovery](#-presets-flash-then-revert-to-select-a-preset-after-a-factory-reset) section below.
+
+#### 3. What does `logread` say while you trigger a failing source?
+
+SSH into the speaker (see [DEVICE-LOGGING.md](../DEVICE-LOGGING.md#1-accessing-system-logs-requires-root)) and capture:
+
+```bash
+logread -f | grep -v '127.0.0.1:'
+```
+
+…while you select a failing source in the SoundTouch app or via `soundtouch-cli`. The lines around the failed attempt usually name the failing host + protocol — TLS handshake error, token fetch 401, missing route, etc. — and that's enough to file an actionable issue.
+
+**Common outcomes:**
+
+- ❌ `:443` → fix HTTPS routing, sources transition to READY on the next refresh.
+- ❌ `margeAccountUUID` empty → run Migration → Apply, sources reappear after `<sourcesUpdated/>` triggers a `/sources` re-sync.
+- Everything looks right but sources still UNAVAILABLE → the `logread` snippet is the next signal; open an issue with it attached.
+
+> **Note on the firmware-internal placeholder sources.** The `<sourceItem source="SPOTIFY" sourceAccount="SpotifyConnectUserName" ...>`, `SpotifyAlexaUserName`, `UPNP/UPnPUserName`, `STORED_MUSIC_MEDIA_RENDERER/StoredMusicUserName`, and `QPLAY/QPlay{1,2}UserName` entries that appear in `/sources` even on a broken or unpaired speaker are *firmware-synthesized*. They show up regardless of AfterTouch's source list — their `status="UNAVAILABLE"` does not indicate an AfterTouch problem. Use the three checks above to diagnose the actual cause.
+
+### ❌ Speaker logs `Curl 7, http 0` and AfterTouch sees no HTTP requests
+
+**Symptoms:**
+
+In the speaker's log (see [DEVICE-LOGGING.md](../DEVICE-LOGGING.md#1-accessing-system-logs-requires-root) for the SSH/`logread` setup — the filtered command `logread -f | grep -v '127.0.0.1'` is what you want here):
+
+```
+SimpleURLFetcher: retry needed, Curl 7, http 0
+```
+
+In the AfterTouch service log: plenty of `[DNS] Intercepted query …` lines but **zero** HTTP requests after each DNS lookup.
+
+**Cause:** speakers connect to Bose hostnames over implicit HTTPS, i.e. port **443**. AfterTouch's built-in HTTPS listener defaults to **8443** because 443 is privileged. The speaker resolves the right IP, dials `:443`, and gets connection refused — which is what `Curl 7` reports.
+
+**Verify:**
+
+```bash
+curl -ksS -o /dev/null -w "443=%{http_code}\n"  https://localhost:443/
+curl -ksS -o /dev/null -w "8443=%{http_code}\n" https://localhost:8443/
+```
+
+Expected when the misconfiguration is present: `443=000` plus a `curl: (7) Failed to connect …` line, `8443=200` (or any 3-digit code).
+
+**Fix:** route `:443` to AfterTouch's HTTPS listener — see [HTTPS-SETUP.md → Binding to port 443](HTTPS-SETUP.md#binding-to-port-443). The AfterTouch settings page shows a ✅ / ❌ indicator for `:443` reachability once the routing is in place.
+
+### ❌ Presets flash then revert to "Select a preset" after a factory reset
+
+**Symptoms:**
+
+- You factory-reset a SoundTouch (Wave / 10 / 20 / 30 / …) that was previously migrated.
+- After reconnecting it to Wi-Fi, AfterTouch sees the speaker again, but pressing a preset on the device or in the app makes the display briefly show the preset name and then revert to *"Select a preset or explore music in the SoundTouch App"*.
+- Spotify presets show the same revert unless Spotify Connect is started from the mobile app first.
+- The speaker's `/sources` is missing TUNEIN / LOCAL_INTERNET_RADIO / DEEZER / your linked Spotify account — only AUX, BLUETOOTH, AIRPLAY, the SpotifyConnectUserName placeholder, NOTIFICATION, and QPLAY appear.
+
+**Cause:**
+
+A factory reset wipes `/mnt/nv/BoseApp-Persistence/1/Marge.xml` — the file that carries the speaker's auth token for the AfterTouch (or Bose) cloud service. The migrated URL configuration is preserved (it lives in `envswitch`), so the speaker keeps talking to AfterTouch, but with no token it can't authenticate for preset playback. Separately, the device's `/sources` cache is reduced until it receives a `<sourcesUpdated/>` notification.
+
+**Fix:**
+
+1. **Re-open the Migration tab** in the AfterTouch UI. The wizard reads `/info`, sees `margeAccountUUID` is empty, and renders:
+
+   > **Current: ❌ Not paired (factory-reset or never paired) — set an ID to pair as part of Apply**
+
+   The devices list now also shows a `⚠ Not paired — re-pair` badge next to such speakers, so you don't have to remember to open the Migration tab cold.
+
+2. **Pick the previously-used account ID** from the "pick from datastore" dropdown (if AfterTouch remembers it), or click **Generate** for a fresh one.
+
+3. **Click Apply.** The wizard runs `pair-account` along with the rest, recreating `Marge.xml` on the device with the chosen ID.
+
+4. **Click Data Sync** (Tab 3). AfterTouch persists the speaker's presets/recents/sources and posts a `<sourcesUpdated/>` notification to the device — the missing TUNEIN / LOCAL_INTERNET_RADIO / DEEZER / linked Spotify entries reappear in `/sources` automatically.
+
+5. Press a preset. It should play normally.
+
+If presets still won't play after step 5, capture `logread -f | grep -v '127.0.0.1:'` on the speaker (see [DEVICE-LOGGING.md](../DEVICE-LOGGING.md#1-accessing-system-logs-requires-root)) while pressing the preset and file an issue with the snippet — the lines around the failed playback name the deeper cause.

+
+### ❌ Spotify preset fails with "Current content cannot be saved as preset"
+
+**Symptoms:**
+
+You push playback to the speaker via Spotify Connect from the Spotify mobile/desktop app. Audio plays fine. You try to store it as a preset and the CLI reports:
+
+```
+$ soundtouch-cli preset store-current --slot 2
+Storing current content as preset 2 from 192.168.x.y:8090...
+✗ Current content cannot be saved as preset
+  Content: <track name>
+  Source: SPOTIFY
+2026/05/16 09:13:10 current content cannot be preset
+```
+
+…and `soundtouch-cli play now` shows `Source Account: SpotifyConnectUserName`.
+
+**Cause:**
+
+The speaker firmware marks Spotify-Connect-pushed content as **non-presetable** at the NowPlaying layer:
+
+```xml
+<ContentItem source="SPOTIFY" type="DO_NOT_RESUME" ...
+             sourceAccount="SpotifyConnectUserName" isPresetable="false">
+```
+
+That `isPresetable="false"` means the firmware can't independently re-fetch the stream later — it only knows about the session token your phone pushed via the Spotify Connect protocol, which is ephemeral. The speaker refuses the preset *locally*, before any storePreset request reaches AfterTouch's marge.
+
+**Why an OAuth-linked Spotify account changes the answer:**
+
+When AfterTouch has a Spotify OAuth account linked (see [MUSIC-SERVICES.md](MUSIC-SERVICES.md)), the speaker has a *persistent* Spotify source it can use to resolve the content URI later — typically an album/playlist container. With that source available, the firmware rewrites the content item from `DO_NOT_RESUME` to `tracklisturl` at save time, flips `isPresetable` to `true`, and the preset goes through. The recall path then routes through AfterTouch's `/oauth/.../cs3` token broker, which returns a Spotify access token for your linked account.
+
+**Fix:**
+
+1. Set up Spotify OAuth in AfterTouch following [MUSIC-SERVICES.md](MUSIC-SERVICES.md). The high-level model (Spotify Connect vs the OAuth-intercept path, the `streamingoauth.bose.com` DNS rewrite, the token lifecycle) is in [spotify-overview.md](../concepts/spotify-overview.md).
+2. Make sure you're on **v0.84.0 or later** — earlier versions had a custom-OAuth-client bug that caused playback to hang at "Buffering".
+3. Re-prime the speaker (Migration tab → **Prime Spotify**, or wait for the watchdog), then retry the preset save with Connect-pushed playback.
+
+**What this won't fix:**
+
+A Connect-only setup with no OAuth account linked in AfterTouch — that's a firmware-level constraint we can't route around from the server side. The speaker simply doesn't have credentials it can use to replay the content later, so it refuses to preset.
+
+### ❌ TuneIn (or Internet Radio) missing from `/sources` after a factory reset
+
+**Symptoms:**
+
+- The speaker is happily migrated and reachable; most cloud sources work.
+- `curl http://<speaker-ip>:8090/sources` lists AUX, Bluetooth, Spotify Connect placeholders, etc. — but **no `TUNEIN` entry**.
+- `soundtouch-cli source content --source TUNEIN --type stationurl --location /v1/playback/station/<id> --name '<name>'` fails with `1005` (or playing a TuneIn preset silently does nothing).
+- Other devices on the same setup have `TUNEIN` in `/sources` and work fine.
+
+**Cause:**
+
+TuneIn is **not a default source** on a freshly factory-reset SoundTouch. The speaker only adds `TUNEIN` to its `Sources.xml` after the source has been played at least once. Until then, source-selection requests for `TUNEIN` are rejected as invalid.
+
+This is firmware behaviour — independent of AfterTouch — and is why one device can have `TUNEIN` and a sibling device (just reset) can be missing it. The same applies to `LOCAL_INTERNET_RADIO` if the speaker was reset before any LIR content was played.
+
+**Fix:**
+
+Play any TuneIn station once to register the source. Two equivalent paths:
+
+1. **Via the SoundTouch app** — open the app, pick TuneIn, play any station. The source appears in `/sources` after a few seconds.
+2. **Via `soundtouch-cli`** on a device that *does* still have TuneIn registered, or by first registering it with a known-working station:
+
+   ```bash
+   soundtouch-cli --host <speaker-ip> source content \
+     --source TUNEIN --type stationurl \
+     --location /v1/playback/station/s166521 \
+     --name 'SMOOTH JAZZ'
+   ```
+
+   (Station `s166521` is one that works for AfterTouch testing; any valid TuneIn station ID works.)
+
+Once the source plays once, it gets persisted to `/mnt/nv/BoseApp-Persistence/1/Sources.xml` and subsequent TuneIn requests succeed without needing the app.
+
+**For speakers without SSH:**
+
+If `soundtouch-cli source content --source TUNEIN ...` returns `1005` on a reset device that has never had TuneIn, the speaker is refusing because the source isn't registered yet — chicken-and-egg. The SoundTouch app is then the only practical path to register it; we can't write `Sources.xml` directly over telnet on most models.

+# soundtouch-web: remaining features
+
+Four features complete the parity gap between soundtouch-web and the Stockholm
+app's local-control functionality. Everything else in Stockholm (OAuth flows,
+setup wizard, service account linking, onboarding, analytics) is cloud
+infrastructure that is either shut down or already handled by soundtouch-service.
+
+---
+
+## 1. Seek / scrub
+
+The progress bar already renders `NowPlaying.Time.Position` / `NowPlaying.Time.Total`
+with a live 1 s ticker. What's missing is the ability to click or drag it to seek.
+
+**Device API:** `POST /seek` with body `<seek deviceID="…" type="TIME_VALUE"><time>30</time></seek>`
+
+**Backend:**
+- Add `POST /api/device-seek/{id}/{seconds}` handler in `handler.go`
+- Guard on `NowPlaying.SeekSupported.Value` — return 400 if the stream doesn't
+  support seeking (radio, for example)
+
+**Frontend (`NowPlaying.js`):**
+- Replace the static `<div class="progress-bar">` with a `<input type="range">`
+- `onInput` updates local state for smooth scrubbing; `onChange` (pointer up)
+  fires `api.seek(deviceId, seconds)`
+- Pause the 1 s ticker while the user is dragging to avoid fighting the input
+
+**Client method to add (or verify exists):**
+```go
+func (c *Client) Seek(positionSeconds int) error {
+    // POST /seek
+}
+```
+
+---
+
+## 2. Favorites
+
+Mark or unmark the currently playing track as a favourite directly from the
+Now Playing card.
+
+**Device API:**
+- `GET /favorites` — returns `<favorites>` list
+- `POST /favorites` — adds current content item as a favourite
+- `DELETE /favorites/{id}` — removes a favourite by ID
+
+**Backend:**
+- `GET /api/device-favorites/{id}` — fetch favourites list
+- `POST /api/device-favorites/{id}` — add current now-playing item as favourite
+- `DELETE /api/device-favorites/{id}/{favId}` — remove a favourite
+
+**Frontend:**
+- Heart button (♡ / ♥) in `NowPlaying.js`, next to the source label
+- On mount (or when `nowPlaying` changes) fetch favourites and check whether
+  the current `ContentItem.Location` is already in the list
+- Toggle on click; optimistic UI update before the round-trip
+
+**Note:** Not all sources support favourites. Check
+`NowPlaying.FavoriteEnabled` — if the field is nil/absent, hide the button.
+
+---
+
+## 3. Device settings panel
+
+A lightweight settings page per device covering the two most useful knobs:
+rename and network/firmware info.
+
+**Device API:**
+- `GET /info` — device info (already fetched; stored as `DeviceInfo`)
+- `POST /name` with body `<name>New Name</name>` — rename the device
+- `GET /networkInfo` — IP, MAC, SSID, signal strength
+- `GET /swUpdateStatus` — current firmware version and whether an update is
+  available (not all devices expose this)
+
+**Backend:**
+- `POST /api/device-rename/{id}` — body `{"name":"…"}`; calls `POST /name`
+- `GET /api/device-network/{id}` — proxies `GET /networkInfo`
+- Optionally `GET /api/device-update-status/{id}` — proxies `GET /swUpdateStatus`
+
+**Frontend:**
+- Small ⚙ icon button in `DeviceDetail`'s page header (next to the power button)
+- Navigates to a new `page === 'settings'` state in `App`; passes `deviceId`
+- `DeviceSettings.js` component: editable name field (save on blur/Enter),
+  read-only network info card, optional firmware version badge
+- Back button returns to `'device'` page
+
+---
+
+## 4. Render stereo pairs as a single device
+
+Today soundtouch-web shows the two halves of a stereo pair (formed via
+`/addGroup` — see issue #252) as independent entries in the device list. The
+Bose app collapsed a paired ST10 set into one "L+R" entry; restoring that
+presentation closes the perception gap BirdyBA flagged at
+<https://github.com/gesellix/Bose-SoundTouch/issues/252#issuecomment-4458140305>.
+
+**Device API:**
+- `GET /getGroup` on each speaker — returns the current `<group>` with
+  `<masterDeviceId>` + `<roles>` (each `<groupRole>` carries the speaker's
+  deviceId, role `LEFT|RIGHT`, and ipAddress)
+- Empty `<group/>` means the speaker is standalone
+- Querying the master and slave returns the same `<group>` payload, so either
+  side is sufficient to detect the pair
+
+**Backend:**
+- During device-list assembly, call `GET /getGroup` for each discovered device
+  in parallel (matches the propagation pattern already used by
+  `soundtouch-cli group create` in `cmd/soundtouch-cli/cmd_group.go`)
+- Bucket devices by `<masterDeviceId>` — each bucket emits one entry in the
+  list response. Standalone devices stay as their own bucket-of-one
+- Expose pair metadata on the list entry so the UI can render role chips
+  (`L`/`R`) and resolve role → physical device for actions
+
+**Frontend:**
+- Device list collapses paired devices into one card titled with both names
+  (e.g. `"Wohnzimmer L+R"`) and role chips
+- Clicking the card opens a device-detail page that exposes both per-role
+  status and a "Dissolve pair" action (DELETE flow, already wired in
+  `soundtouch-cli group remove` and in fakespeaker's `/removeGroup` GET)
+- Standalone speakers continue to render as today
+
+**Note:** Pair lifecycle (create / rename / remove) already works
+end-to-end — `pkg/client` group endpoints + `cmd/soundtouch-cli/cmd_group.go`,
+covered by tests in `cmd/soundtouch-cli/cmd_group_test.go` and exercisable
+against the fake speaker's group routes
+(`pkg/service/testing/fakespeaker/fakespeaker.go`). This task is purely about
+presentation in soundtouch-web's device list — no protocol work required.

+//
+// The reporter edits AfterTouch's persisted Presets.xml on disk and
+// expects the change to show up on the speaker's :8090/presets. That
+// propagation chain has three links:
+//
+//  1. disk → marge: AfterTouch's marge serves the edited XML when the
+//     speaker GETs /streaming/account/.../device/.../presets (or
+//     /full). This is the link this test exercises.
+//  2. marge → device: the speaker has to re-fetch (typically nudged by
+//     a /streaming/support/power_on or by a sourcesUpdated
+//     notification — not exercised here, that's a runbook concern).
+//  3. device → :8090: once the device's local cache updates, its
+//     /presets endpoint reflects. Out of our reach.
+//
+// If link (1) is broken — e.g. marge caches the rendered XML between
+// requests, or ds.GetPresets returns stale data — neither (2) nor (3)
+// can recover, and the reporter's symptom is inevitable. This test
+// proves (1) is sound by:
+//
+//   - Writing testdata/issue253/presets_v1.xml directly into the
+//     datastore (no SavePresets — the reporter is editing on disk).
+//   - Calling PresetsToXML, asserting v1's itemName and location land
+//     in the rendered response.
+//   - Overwriting the file with testdata/issue253/presets_v2.xml.
+//   - Calling PresetsToXML again, asserting v2's itemName and
+//     location land — and v1's are gone.
+//
+// If link (1) ever regresses (a caching layer added without
+// invalidation, a fs handle held open across edits, …), this test
+// fails on the second assertion. When that happens, fix the
+// invalidation rather than weakening the test.
+//
+// Pattern mirrors recents_sourceproviderid_regression_test.go: write
