- XML Refactoring: Transitioned from manual string concatenation to structured XML marshaling using specialized Go models to match upstream API responses exactly. - Service Enhancements: Implemented robust device discovery via power_on handling, improved source metadata persistence, and standardized ID generation logic. - Parity & Consistency: Fixed data loss and formatting mismatches for lastplayedat, serialNumber, and nested <source> elements. - Infrastructure & Testing: Added a comprehensive suite of regression and parity reproduction tests, centralized common XML constants, and documented progress.
