# Our own Spotify app rather than the bundled default (ncspot's client ID,
# shared by every spotify-player/ncspot install). Upstream recommends the
# default because it has extended quota mode, but its rate-limit bucket is
# shared across every user of it, and we hit 429s on it just adjusting the
# volume. Our own app gets a private bucket.
# No client_id: use the bundled default (ncspot's), as upstream
# recommends. It predates Spotify's 2024-11-27 Web API change and is in
# extended quota mode, so it still gets the editorial/algorithmic
# playlists — Discover Weekly, Made-For-You, browse categories. Any app
# registered today is stuck in restricted quota and Spotify returns those
# as null, which is what left Made-For-You empty while we ran our own.
#
# We did briefly run our own app (private rate-limit bucket) because the
# bundled one's bucket is shared with every other spotify-player/ncspot
# user and we hit 429s. But that burst came from scroll-to-set-volume and
# the post-action confirmation reads, both cut below — so the private
# bucket is no longer worth losing half the library over.
#
# Changing client ID invalidates the cached Web API token: run
# `spotify_player authenticate` once after deploying this.
#
# The cost of a post-2024-11-27 app is restricted quota: Spotify returns
# its own editorial/algorithmic playlists as null, so Discover Weekly,
# Made-For-You and browse categories are missing. That used to break
# *search* outright (upstream #617/#621) because one null sank the whole
# deserialization, but rspotify 0.15.3 — pinned by 0.24.1 — drops null
# page items instead (`vec_without_nulls`), so search works again.
# Public PKCE client, no secret involved, so it's fine in the repo.
