Replace claude -p music refresh with zero-token OS-level detection - #50
Merged
Conversation
The daemon's light-cycle music refresh was spawning `claude -p` every ~90s just to run JavaScript via Chrome MCP, costing ~5K tokens per call (~135K tokens/hour for active music users). This replaces it with a pure bash script using macOS native APIs (osascript for Spotify/Apple Music, nowplaying-cli for browser-based players), reducing daemon token usage by ~50% for music users.
