Let addons read what's playing and put a card on your profile (GRYT-1637) - #746

…637) Two new addon permissions, agreed to per addon like the others. media reads what the OS media controls say is playing: Windows' media session, MPRIS on Linux, and on macOS Spotify and Music asked directly, since macOS keeps its own Now Playing to Apple. activity lets an addon put a card like "Listening to" on your profile, on every server. Nothing reads the media controls unless an addon with media is on and listening, and a stopped addon's card comes down with it. The card goes through the same board as games, so a game still wins over it, and it works with Rich Presence off. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <[email protected]>
Each permission gets a level: low only changes what you see, medium can show things about you to others, high can send data to the servers you're on. Settings shows the addon's riskiest level above its permissions, and each permission's own level beside it. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <[email protected]>

Sivert wanted "Listening to" as Gryt's first real addon. Addons run sandboxed and can't start programs, so the app reads the media controls and addons ask for them through permissions.
Two new addon permissions, agreed to per addon in Settings → Addons like the others:
media:gryt.media.current()andgryt.media.on(handler)(checked every 15 s while an addon listens). Windows reads its media session through PowerShell, Linux MPRIS throughgdbus, and macOS asks Spotify and Music with AppleScript, only while they're running, since macOS keeps its system Now Playing to Apple's own apps. macOS asks the person the first time.activity:gryt.activity.set({ type: "listening", name, details, state, startedAt })andgryt.activity.clear(). The main process checks every field. The card goes through the Rich Presence board, so a game still wins, and it works with Rich Presence off. A stopped addon's card comes down.Risk levels: every permission now has one. Low only changes what you see (display), medium can show things about you to others (status, activity, processes, media), high can send data to the servers you are on (messaging). Settings → Addons shows the addon's riskiest level as a badge above its permissions, and each permission's level beside it.
What to look at
scripts/check-now-playing.mjs: Windows JSON, MPRIS GVariant text, the osascript line). The PowerShell script and MPRIS calls haven't run on a real Windows or Linux machine yet.mediais on and listening.The addon itself comes next in its own repo, Gryt-chat/addon-now-playing.
