Tobias GesellchenandClaude Opus 4.7 f3c974cbbd docs(troubleshooting): capture three recurring symptoms from issues #224 #235 #253
Add three new entries to docs/guides/TROUBLESHOOTING.md so the next
reporter who hits these symptoms finds the answer without needing the
issue thread.

- "Every cloud source shows status=UNAVAILABLE / can't stream anything"
  (Connection Issues). Three-step diagnostic checklist: :443
  reachability preflight, margeAccountUUID check, filtered
  `logread -f`. Distilled from the diagnostic ping on #224 plus
  Thatboioofy's resolution (missing margeAccountUUID was the cause).
  Sidebar clarifies that the firmware-internal placeholder sources
  (SpotifyConnectUserName, SpotifyAlexaUserName, UPnPUserName,
  StoredMusicUserName, QPlay{1,2}UserName, AirPlay2DefaultUserName)
  are speaker-synthesized and their UNAVAILABLE status is never an
  AfterTouch problem on its own.

- New section "Music Service & Preset Issues" with "Spotify preset
  fails with 'Current content cannot be saved as preset'". Explains
  the firmware-side isPresetable="false" gate on Connect-pushed
  playback (foob61451's NowPlaying capture in #235), why an
  OAuth-linked account flips it to true, and cross-links to
  MUSIC-SERVICES.md and the new spotify-overview.md.

- "TuneIn (or Internet Radio) missing from /sources after a factory
  reset". TuneIn is not a default source; the speaker only registers
  it after first play. Captured from the #253 side-thread with both
  app and `soundtouch-cli source content` recipes plus the
  no-SSH caveat for newer hardware (SA-5).
