Aligning Playback State Across All UI Surfaces

The lock screen, mini player, and main screen all reference the same underlying playback state, yet subtle inconsistencies existed in how each surface rendered that state. These discrepancies do not surface in a feature checklist, but they directly undermine the reliability of the playback experience.

This work focused on display consistency rather than new functionality. The display paths for lock screen remote control, the mini player, and Reels playback state were consolidated into a single coherent flow. The audio session and track loading logic that these surfaces depend on were also revised. Content is now rendered consistently regardless of which entry point surfaces it. The splash and onboarding screens, as well as reverb-category sound quality, were refined to the same standard.

Playback state is not confined to the foreground view — it persists on the lock screen and during background use. Ensuring that any surface reflects the same state accurately was the central objective of this quality pass.
