Mini Player State Consistency
Fixed animation and state mismatches in the mini player during screen transitions, improving playback reliability across the app.
The mini player is one of the most frequently encountered UI elements in the app, yet during screen transitions it could fall out of sync — animation and playback state diverging in ways that are not captured by feature specs but directly affect perceived reliability.
Two areas were addressed. First, the mini player's animation logic was restructured so that its visual state is derived from the same data flow as the current playback state. Second, the initial app entry sequence — from splash through onboarding — was updated to handle state correctly at screen transition boundaries.
Both cases involved moments where state briefly lost synchronization during navigation. With these fixes, the mini player consistently reflects the correct playback state regardless of which screen initiates a control action.
