External dependencies and services
==================================

Command-line tools (all ship with a stock Omarchy install):

  - mpv               the audio engine; driven over a JSON IPC socket, never
                      given a feed-supplied string on its command line
  - python3           feed parsing, library state and every network fetch
                      (stdlib only — no pip packages)
  - curl              every HTTPS request, always as an argv list, never
                      through a shell
  - notify-send       desktop notifications for auto-queue shows
  - omarchy-file-select   the desktop file chooser, for OPML import/export

Optional, used when present:

  - mpv-mpris         (/etc/mpv/scripts/mpris.so on stock Omarchy) publishes
                      playback on D-Bus so other now-playing widgets and
                      media keys see this player. Nothing breaks without it.

Network services contacted over HTTPS:

  - itunes.apple.com          podcast directory search (no account, no key;
                              the default and only search backend needed)
  - api.podcastindex.org      optional alternative search, used only when the
                              user supplies their own API key and secret
  - the podcast feeds, enclosures, artwork, and Podcasting 2.0 chapter files
    the user subscribes to — all URLs come from the user or from the feeds
    they chose to trust

An optional user-supplied Podcast Index key and secret (stored in this
plugin's own settings) are sent only to api.podcastindex.org.

Privilege boundary: the plugin makes outbound HTTPS requests, runs mpv as a
child process, raises desktop notifications, and writes only to
~/.local/share/omarchy-podcasts/ and its own entry in
~/.config/omarchy/shell.json. It does not modify any other user configuration.
