The image shipped a year-old yt-dlp, which YouTube now rejects with
"The page needs to be reloaded". Bumped to 2026.08.19 and documented
rebuilding as the standard fix, including how to pass a newer tag
without waiting for a repository update.
A downloader dying mid-stream also looked exactly like a very short
track: ffmpeg saw EOF, the player advanced, and the channel only got
"queue finished". The failure reason now reaches the chat.

Plays audio into Stoat voice channels over LiveKit and exposes the same
player through both chat commands and a browser panel, so the two never
drift apart: everything routes through a single MusicManager.
- core: per-server GuildPlayer (queue, loop, shuffle, seek, volume,
idle auto-leave) driving revoice.js/@livekit/rtc-node and ffmpeg
- sources: yt-dlp for YouTube/SoundCloud, direct media URLs and internet
radio, optional local library with path-traversal guards
- bot: 18 chat commands with aliases, plus !panel one-time login links
- api: Fastify REST + WebSocket, sessions authenticated against the
instance's own /auth/session/login (TOTP supported), permissions
re-checked against Stoat membership and roles on every request
- web: React panel with search, queue editing, seek and volume
- deploy: Dockerfile, compose.override.yml and Caddyfile snippets for
dropping the service into an existing /opt/stoat stack
Verified with npm run typecheck, both builds, and scripts/smoke-api.mjs
(9 API checks). Voice playback itself needs a live instance to test.
