     - audited SDK 27.0 / Swift 6.4 with the macOS 15 minimum retained; migrated Cast discovery to NWBrowser and production activation to activate(). Real Bonjour identity/name/update/order/deduplication/removal/restart and routable-endpoint checks, loopback Cast transitions, focused startup-error alerts and a cooperating-launcher production smoke for cold start/CLI reuse/document handoff/keyboard playback passed. The existing full CLI snapshot-harness timeout remains; macOS 15 runtime and physical-Cast verification remain unverified. Observation, glass and the existing native bridges were left unchanged.
 - [x] fix the readme. it's currently bloated with irrelevant implementation detail and other such nonsense. it should do the job of a readme only, nothing more.
 - [x] add a skip button when current playback is inside either an opening or an ending segment.
-    - Skip Opening/Ending uses validated metadata, seeks to the segment end and disappears after ten seconds (including while paused) or on leaving the segment; ignored segments stay dismissed until close/media replacement. A light background fills with elapsed offer time, with 200 ms fade/slide transitions; Reduce Motion uses stepped countdown updates without transitions. Native HLS, exact-EOF, controlled-clock countdown/dismissal and loopback Cast checks passed. Button placement, animation feel and physical-Cast verification remain unverified; rapid play/seek probes encountered Core Audio startup errors on Bluetooth output.
