1.9 board item: "Say why exclusive output was refused".

Why

When exclusive output fell back to shared mode the user got one sentence ("this device refuses exclusive mode"), whatever the cause, and the cause decides what to do.

What

  • ExclusiveRefusal (busy, not-allowed, format, unknown) and AppError::ExclusiveRefused { reason, detail }; each backend marks the cause it can see:
    • WASAPI: from the HRESULT in the error (stable codes): 0x8889000A device in use → busy, 0x8889000E exclusive mode not allowed → not-allowed (the Windows "Allow applications to take exclusive control" box), 0x88890008 / the format probe → format.
    • ALSA: the existing PcmOpenError.busy survives open_reserving_the_card (busy that the reservation did not release); a rejected hardware parameter (alsa set_*, hw_params) → format.
    • CoreAudio: hog mode owned by another process → busy.
  • spawn_output_with_mode stores the reason on SharedPlayback::exclusive_refusal when it falls back (cleared at the start of every open, DoP branch included).
  • The notice becomes exclusive-refused-busy / -not-allowed / -format (plain exclusive-refused when unknown), and player_get_exclusive_output_state returns refusal, so the Settings card says what to do: close the other app, turn the Windows option on, or nothing (the device has no usable format). 17 locales.

Verification

  • Windows: clippy -D warnings on the app crate.
  • Linux (ALSA) and macOS (CoreAudio) were not compiled locally: both test machines were unreachable. The Ubuntu CI job covers ALSA; nothing covers CoreAudio (no macOS job), so it needs a cargo clippy on the Mac before merging. The macOS change is limited to constructing the new error variant in acquire_hog and reading it in output.rs, with the same paths that compile on the other two platforms.

Docs: playback.md.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Améliorations
    • Les réglages indiquent pourquoi le mode de sortie exclusif n’a pas pu être activé : appareil occupé, mode non autorisé ou format incompatible. Si la cause est inconnue, un message générique s’affiche.
    • Les notifications de lecture distinguent ces motifs de refus.
    • La documentation précise les causes possibles d’un refus et leur prise en compte lors du passage au mode partagé.

Each exclusive backend now marks why it fell back to shared mode: another
application holds the device (WASAPI device in use, ALSA busy after the
reservation, CoreAudio hog mode taken), the system forbids exclusive use
(WASAPI exclusive mode not allowed), or the device offers no usable format.
The output layer stores the reason and the notice names it.
The notice has one sentence per reason, and the Settings card says what to do: close the other app, turn on the Windows exclusive-control option, or nothing when the device has no usable format. 17 locales.
A successful DoP open returned before the reset and kept an earlier PCM refusal.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Le changement classe les refus d’ouverture exclusive en quatre motifs. Le moteur conserve le motif lors du repli en mode partagé, puis l’expose dans l’état de lecture et les notifications. Les réglages affichent un message correspondant au motif reçu. Le changement modifie aussi un test de paroles et un attribut Clippy conditionnel sur macOS.

Changes

Classification et exposition des refus

Couche / Fichier(s) Résumé
Type de refus et classification par backend
src-tauri/crates/app/src/error.rs, src-tauri/crates/app/src/audio/engine.rs, src-tauri/crates/app/src/audio/*_exclusive.rs
Ajoute ExclusiveRefusal et l’erreur typée ExclusiveRefused. ALSA, CoreAudio et WASAPI classent certains échecs. WASAPI conserve le motif prioritaire parmi les échecs de négociation.
Enregistrement du motif et notifications
src-tauri/crates/app/src/audio/state.rs, src-tauri/crates/app/src/audio/output.rs, src-tauri/crates/app/src/audio/engine.rs
SharedPlayback stocke le motif encodé. Chaque ouverture remet cette valeur à zéro, puis les échecs exclusifs enregistrent leur motif avant le repli. Le moteur choisit la notification correspondante et expose le motif décodé.
État API et affichage
src-tauri/crates/app/src/commands/player.rs, src/lib/tauri/player.ts, src/components/views/settings/ExclusiveModeCard.tsx, src/components/common/PlaybackAlertToast.tsx, docs/features/playback.md
La commande et l’interface TypeScript ajoutent le champ refusal. Les réglages choisissent un message selon le motif, et les notifications reconnaissent les nouvelles catégories.

Ajustements de test et de lint

Couche / Fichier(s) Résumé
Vérification du fichier de paroles
src-tauri/crates/app/src/commands/lyrics.rs
Le test vérifie que Song.lrc n’a pas été créé et que le contenu de song.LRC reste inchangé.
Attribut Clippy conditionnel
src-tauri/crates/app/src/render_mode.rs
Ajoute une autorisation conditionnelle de clippy::needless_return sur macOS. Le comportement de apply ne change pas.

Merge Risk | ⚪ Minimal · up to 31c71

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 31c71

The refusal reasons match between the backend and settings UI. No concrete merge-blocking risk is established for these changes.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🔵 Low · up to 31c71

The change adds diagnostic information without expanding audio-device access or changing exclusive-mode ownership checks. Remaining uncertainty concerns platform validation and status consistency while an output is reopening.

Retained concerns
No architecture-level concerns identified.

Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • inferred — The inspected change affects existing application audio diagnostics and display state. Refusal categories do not select devices, acquire privileges, or grant exclusive ownership; existing platform output operations retain those responsibilities.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — The two specifically routed public-entrypoint ranges do not change production reachability. The lyrics modification is inside a cfg(test) module, and render-mode apply receives only a macOS lint annotation; its executable body is unchanged against the full PR base.
  • observed — CoreAudio still verifies that hog ownership belongs to the current process. This PR changes the unsuccessful-ownership error to a typed busy refusal without changing the acquisition or release checks.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

  • observed — The inspected CoreAudio control flow still exits when acquisition fails and releases hog ownership after the PCM or DoP run returns. Refusal storage does not participate in cleanup. This is source-level counterevidence, not proof of macOS runtime behavior.

- Around line 79-83: Dans `refusal_of`, reconnaissez le message « device
reported no usable sample rate / channel layout » comme
`ExclusiveRefusal::Format` au même titre que les autres refus de format, afin
que l’absence de layout utilisable ne soit pas classée comme `Unknown`.
- Line 131: Dans `open_exclusive_session`, agrège les motifs de refus de chaque
tentative WASAPI pendant la négociation avant de déterminer le refus final.
Préserve notamment le motif `AUDCLNT_E_DEVICE_IN_USE` si une tentative
ultérieure échoue au test de format, afin que `refusal_of` puisse classer le
refus à partir de l’ensemble des échecs.

Comment thread src-tauri/crates/app/src/audio/wasapi_exclusive.rs
The negotiation kept only the last attempt's error, so a busy device refused on format at the next layout read as a format problem. Every attempt is classified and the most useful cause wins; a device with no layout to open counts as format.
@InstaZDLL InstaZDLL self-assigned this Oct 11, 2026
render_mode::apply ends on a needless return on macOS, where the software switches are compiled out. The sidecar test used exists() on a case-insensitive filesystem, where Song.lrc resolves to the user's song.LRC; it now lists the folder and checks the user's file is untouched.
