bump VERSION to 0.2.1

The original featured.json had 5 entries pointing at the wrong podcasts
because verification only checked the feed's <title> loosely matched.
Each wrong URL happened to share a slug/name with the intended show:

  - All-In Podcast: feeds.transistor.fm/all-in was a Verizon internal
    comms show (6 eps from 2020), not the Chamath/Sacks/Friedberg/
    Calacanis show. -> allinchamathjason.libsyn.com/rss (405 eps)
  - Code Switch: NPR feed ID 510352 was 'I\'ll Be Seeing You'.
    -> 510312 (correct Code Switch feed, 637 eps)
  - Stuff You Should Know: rss.art19.com/stuff-you-should-know was a
    different show by 'Podgo' (7 eps). -> iHeart omnycontent URL
    (2855 eps, Josh Clark & Chuck Bryant)
  - Philosophize This!: feed.podbean.com/... returned 0 items.
    -> philosophizethis.libsyn.com/rss (189 eps, Stephen West)
  - Very Bad Wizards: feed.podbean.com/... returned 0 items.
    -> feeds.libsyn.com/474285/rss (345 eps, official feed)

Bumps version 1 -> 2 so the discover store re-fetches immediately.
All 5 corrected URLs verified: 200 OK, valid RSS, matching <title>
and <itunes:author>, sensible episode counts, recent pubDates.

+# Contributing to PodTui
+
+This file is written **for humans**. If you're an AI agent or LLM working in
+this repo, read [AGENTS.md](AGENTS.md) instead — it has the machine-oriented
+build/test/lint contract and code-style rules. Both describe the same project;
+CONTRIBUTING.md focuses on *understanding* and *navigating* the codebase.
+
+PodTui is a keyboard-first, yazi-style terminal podcast client. TypeScript +
+[OpenTUI](https://github.com/opentui/opentui) on top, [Bun](https://bun.sh)
+as the runtime and toolchain.
+
+---
+
+## Quick start
+
+```bash
+brew install bun          # or: curl -fsSL https://bun.sh/install | bash
+git clone git@github.com:mikefreno/podtui.git
+cd podtui
+
+bun install               # install JS dependencies
+make native               # build libcavacore.dylib from the vendored C source
+bun run dev               # launch with hot reload (alias: make dev)
+```
+
+The app is a TUI — it expects a real terminal (Ghostty, kitty, iTerm2,
+      WezTerm, tmux, …). It will not render in a plain captured `bash` session.
+
+## What each command does
+
+| Command            | Purpose                                                                  |
+|--------------------|--------------------------------------------------------------------------|
+| `bun install`      | Install JS dependencies                                                  |
+| `make native`      | Compile `cava/cavacore.c` → `src/native/libcavacore.<dylib\|so>`          |

+| `bun run start`    | Run once (no watch)                                                       |
+| `bun test`         | Run the test suite (see [Testing](#testing))                              |
+| `bun run lint`        | Type-check                                         |
+| `bun run build`    | Bundle JS into `dist/` + copy native libs (the `podtui` npm script path)  |
+| `make dist`        | Compile the standalone binary + make the current platform's tarball       |
+| `make clean`       | Remove `dist/`                                                             |

+
+## Native libraries: how the FFI layer works
+
+PodTui loads **two** native libraries at runtime:
+
+1. **libopentui** — the OpenTUI renderer (shipped inside the
+   `@opentui/core-<platform>-<arch>` npm packages, copied to `dist/` by
+   `build.ts`).
+2. **libcavacore** — the audio spectrum renderer, built from C. The source is
+   vendored under `cava/` (it must stay committed — every CI runner builds it).
+   `libfftw3` is needed to build it:
+   - macOS: `brew install fftw`
+   - Debian/Ubuntu: `apt-get install libfftw3-dev`
+   (CI installs it for you; locally run `make native`.)
+
+**Critical sibling rule**: both libraries are loaded *relative to the binary*,
+so `podtui`, `libopentui.*` and `libcavacore.*` must sit in the **same
+directory**. Never move a single binary out of the tarball. The Homebrew
+formula keeps all three in `libexec/` and exposes only a `podtui` symlink.
+
+Cavacore smoke test: `bun tests/cavacore-smoke.ts`
+(FFI-calls `cava_init` / `cava_execute` / `cava_destroy` and prints results).
+
+## Gotchas (read before touching anything)
+
+1. **Never add a top-level `preload` to `bunfig.toml`.**
+   A compiled PodTui binary's embedded runtime reads the *launching process's*
+   CWD `bunfig.toml`, and a `preload` entry points at a module the standalone
+   can't resolve (`@opentui/solid/preload`) → the binary dies at startup with
+   `preload not found`. This is why `bunfig.toml` has **no** top-level
+   `preload`; dev-mode preloading happens via explicit `--preload` flags in
+   `package.json`. The `[test]` section *does* keep a preload — that only
+   affects `bun test`.
+
+2. **Smoke-test the compiled binary from a bunfig-free dir.**
+   Because of (1), `./dist/podtui --version` run from the repo root launched
+   inside CI would fail. CI always unpacks the tarball into a `mktemp` dir
+   before booting. Do the same when testing a release build locally.
+
+3. **Homebrew's dylib-repair warning is benign.**
+   `brew install` may print “load commands do not fit in the header … needs
+   `-headerpad`” for a prebuilt dylib. The app dlopens the libs by path, so
+   the warning is cosmetic; installs complete and the app boots.
+
+## Testing
+
+```bash
+bun test                # full suite   (54 tests across 6 files today)
+```
+
+The suite covers the keyboard/nav model, keybind dispatch, and the yazi pane
+logic; plus `tests/cavacore-smoke.ts` asserting the native lib exports.
+
+For scripted end-to-end interaction there's a **headless harness**,
+`scripts/tui-harness.tsx`: each invocation snapshot-rebuilds the app state
+into a sandboxed `.harness/` config dir, replays the saved action log
+(`.harness/actions.json`), executes one more key/action passed on the CLI, and
+prints the resulting frame + a style summary — all without a real terminal.
+Audio is a no-op during those snapshots. The last frame lands in
+`.harness/last-frame.{json,txt}` for inspection.
+
+## Releasing
+
+Releases are built and published from **tags**
+
+### Steps
+
+1. Run `scripts/release-tag.sh` (interactive: pick major/minor/patch/custom,
+   confirms the plan, bumps `VERSION` in `src/index.tsx`, commits, tags
+   `vX.Y.Z`, and pushes branch + tag to every remote). If the version bump is
+   already committed but the tag is missing, it offers a tag-only path.
+   `--dry-run` prints the plan without doing anything.
+2. Equivalent manual commands:
+
+   ```bash
+   git tag -a v0.2.0 -m 'PodTUI v0.2.0' && git push gh v0.2.0
+   ```
+
+3. CI (`.github/workflows/release.yml`) runs four builds in parallel,
+   each producing `podtui-<platform>-<arch>.tar.gz`:
+
+   | Runner              | Platform/Arch |
+   |---------------------|---------------|
+   | `ubuntu-latest`     | linux-x64     |
+   | `ubuntu-24.04-arm`  | linux-arm64   |
+   | `macos-15-intel`    | darwin-x64    |
+   | `macos-14`          | darwin-arm64  |
+
+   Each runner: installs deps → installs fftw → `scripts/build-cavacore.sh`
+   → `make dist` → smoke-boots the binary from a temp dir → uploads the
+   tarball. (`macos-15-intel` matters: GitHub's `macos-latest` is arm64 now.)
+
+4. A release is auto-created with all 4 tarballs attached. `brew` never
+   sees the new version: the **tap self-updates**: the
+   `mikefreno/homebrew-podtui` repo has a scheduled workflow (hourly) that
+   polls GitHub releases, and when a new tag appears, rewrites
+   `Formula/podtui.rb` (URLs + arm64/x64 `sha256`) and pushes it — no
+   secrets. See `scripts/sync-formula.sh` in that repo for the logic. Local
+   test: `brew install mikefreno/podtui/podtui`.
+5. **AUR packaging** (`packaging/aur/PKGBUILD`): the `podtui-bin` package is
+   staged, not yet published (AUR account registrations are closed; see the
+   README note in section 3). On each release, keep the AUR sources in sync
+   with the new tag: bump `pkgver`, recompute the two tarball `sha256sums`
+   entries, keep the `LICENSE` asset source (the workflow above uploads
+   `LICENSE` to every release), and regenerate `packaging/aur/.SRCINFO` with
+   `bash packaging/aur/gen-srcinfo.sh`.
+
+### Manual fallback
+
+If you ever need to sync the tap by hand (or before the hourly job runs):
+
+```bash
+cd <clone of mikefreno/homebrew-podtui>
+./scripts/sync-formula.sh 0.2.0
+git commit -am 'podtui 0.2.0' && git push
+```
+
+### Local release build
+
+```bash
+make dist          # builds the binary + tarball for THIS machine only
+```
+
+Bun cannot cross-compile — the other platforms come from CI.
+
+---
+
+## Open items / things to sort out
+
+- **LICENSE**: `README.md` says "TBD — choose and document a license before
+  the first release". Pick one (MIT/BSD-3) and add `LICENSE` + update the
+  README footer.
+- **Native libs in `dist/` still need committing?** No — they're built from
+  sources kept in the repo (`cava/`, `node_modules/@opentui/core-*`). Only
+  `src/native/libcavacore.dylib` is a committed binary artifact; macOS arm64
+  ships from it directly until a full rebuild replaces it. On other hosts the
+  `make native` build is required — see `scripts/build-cavacore.sh`.

+# PodTui
 
-To install dependencies:
+A keyboard-first, yazi-style terminal podcast client written in TypeScript and
+built on [OpenTUI](https://github.com/opentui/opentui). Subscribe to RSS feeds,
+browse episodes in a three-pane file-manager layout, and play audio through an
+external player with full transport control — all from your terminal.
+
+## Features
+
+- **Vim/yazi-style navigation** — `j/k` to move, `h/l` to swipe between panes,
+  `Enter` to open, `1–6` / `[` `]` to switch tabs. The tab list is the app root:
+  at launch it fills the current pane, and drilling into a tab's contents slides
+  it into the parent pane.
+- **Three-pane view** — parent / current / preview (Up | Current | Preview),
+  mirroring yazi's pane model.
+- **Podcast feeds** — add feeds, browse episodes, and manage your library
+  (My Shows, Discover, Feed tabs).
+- **Search** across your subscribed shows.
+- **Audio playback** through an external player with full transport control:
+  play/pause, next/previous, seek, speed, and per-episode resume progress.
+- **Themeable** and **remappable keybindings**.
+- Ships as a **standalone compiled binary** — no runtime or install step beyond
+  a system audio player.
+
+## Requirements
+
+- A terminal with UTF-8 and modern color support (kitty, iTerm2, WezTerm,
+  tmux, GNOME Terminal, etc.).
+- An **audio player** on `PATH`. PodTui auto-detects in priority order:
+
+  | Player   | Platforms      | Seek | Speed | Position tracking |
+  |----------|----------------|:----:|:-----:|:------------------|
+  | `mpv`     | any            | ✔    | ✔     | ✔ (recommended)   |
+  | `ffplay`  | any            | ✔    | ✘     | ✘                 |
+  | `afplay`  | macOS built-in | ✔    | ✔     | ✘                 |
+  | `open`/`xdg-open` | any    | ✘    | ✘     | ✘                 |
+
+  Install `mpv` for the best experience (`brew install mpv`,
+  `sudo apt install mpv`, `pacman -S mpv`). You can force a specific backend
+  with `PODTUI_AUDIO_BACKEND=mpv|ffplay|afplay|system|none`.
+
+## Installation
+
+PodTui distributes as a **self-contained binary** for macOS (arm64/x64) and
+Linux (arm64/x64). Pick whichever fits your platform.
+
+### 1. Homebrew (macOS)
+
+```sh
+brew install mikefreno/podtui/podtui   # requires mpv: brew install mpv
+```
+
+> The formula installs the standalone binary plus its two native libraries
+> side by side (see [Packaging model](#packaging-model)). It does **not**
+> depend on Bun.
+
+### 2. Standalone tarball (all platforms)
+
+Grab `podtui-<platform>-<arch>.tar.gz` from the latest
+[GitHub Release](https://github.com/mikefreno/podtui/releases), unpack it, and
+put `podtui` on your `PATH`:
 
 ```bash
+curl -sS -o /tmp/podtui.tar.gz \
+  https://github.com/mikefreno/podtui/releases/latest/download/podtui-linux-x64.tar.gz
+sudo mkdir -p /opt/podtui
+sudo tar -xzf /tmp/podtui.tar.gz -C /opt/podtui --strip-components=1
+sudo ln -sf /opt/podtui/podtui /usr/local/bin/podtui
+```
+
+> The tarball contains `podtui` plus `libopentui.<ext>` and
+> `libcavacore.<ext>` **beside it** — keep them together (don't move just the
+> binary alone), or the native FFI libraries won't load.
+>
+> One caveat: the embedded runtime reads a `bunfig.toml` from the directory

+### 3. Arch Linux (AUR)
+
+```bash
+# Status: PKGBUILD ready, not yet on the AUR (see note below)
+yay -S podtui-bin   # once published
+```
+
+Requires an AUR helper ([paru](https://github.com/morgan/paru)). The AUR
+package (PKGBUILD lives in `packaging/aur/`) installs the released binary and
+its two FFI sibling libraries into `/usr/lib/podtui/` with a `/usr/bin/podtui`
+symlink, and pulls in `mpv` (the sole audio backend) as a dependency.
+
+> **Not yet on the AUR.** The `podtui-bin` PKGBUILD and `.SRCINFO` are ready
+> in `packaging/aur/` and can be built locally today:
+>
+> ```bash
+> cd packaging/aur && makepkg -si
+> ```
+>
+> Publishing is on hold until [AUR account registrations](https://aur.archlinux.org)
+> reopen (suspended while the AUR team works on suspicious-package
+> moderation). Once a key can be registered, push `PKGBUILD` + `.SRCINFO`
+> with `git push ssh://aur@aur.archlinux.org/podtui-bin` and update this note.
+
+### 4. From source
+
+Requires [Bun](https://bun.sh) ≥ 1.2.
+
+```bash
+git clone https://github.com/mikefreno/podtui.git
+cd podtui
 bun install
+bun run build:native   # build the cavacore FFI lib from C source
+bun run dev            # run with hot reload, or: bun start
 ```
 
-To run:
+## Linux distribution notes
+
+PodTUI deliberately does **not** ship `.deb`, `.rpm`, Flatpak, or Snap
+packages. For a terminal application that's overwhelmingly installed through
+repositories or archives, those formats add desktop-sandboxing overhead and a
+packaging tax with little benefit. Instead:
+
+- **GitHub Release tarballs** are the universal path — one upload, works on
+  any distro with `curl` + `tar`.
+- **AUR (`podtui-bin`)** covers Arch. Anyone on Arch/Manjaro gets the same
+  binary through their native package manager.
+- **Nix / cross-distro** users can build from source (or a Nix flake can be
+  added later).
+
+This keeps maintenance to a single build per OS/arch and still reaches the
+vast majority of desktop Linux users through their preferred path.
+
+## Usage
+
+Launch `podtui` (or `bun src/index.tsx` from the source tree). Press `~`
+for the in-app help.
+
+### Command-line flags
+
+| Flag | Description |
+|------|-------------|
+| `-v`, `--version` | Print the version and exit |
+| `-q`, `--query <term>` | Query feeds for a show title and print matching shows, without launching the TUI |
+| `-p`, `--play <term>` | Play the matching show, without launching the TUI |
+
+### Keybindings
+
+All keys are remappable — edit `~/.config/podtui/keybinds.jsonc`.
+
+| Keys | Action |
+|------|--------|
+| `j` / `k` | Move cursor down / up |
+| `J` / `K` | Jump 5 lines |
+| `ctrl-d` / `ctrl-u` | Page down / up |
+| `gg` / `G` | Go to top / bottom |
+| `h` / `l` | Swipe to parent pane / preview pane |
+| `Enter` | Open the item under the cursor (a tab, episode, show…) |
+| `Space` | Select / toggle selection |
+| `v` | Visual mode (multi-select) |
+| `1`–`6` | Jump to tab 1–6 (Feed, My Shows, Discover, Search, Player, Settings) |
+| `[` / `]` | Previous / next tab |
+| `P` (shift) | Play / pause |
+| `N` / `B` | Next / previous episode |
+| `shift-.` / `shift-,` | Seek forward / backward |
+| `s` | Search (in a list) |
+| `f` | Filter |
+| `r` | Refresh |
+| `:` | Command bar |
+| `~`, `f1` | Help |
+| `q`, `ctrl-c` | Quit |
+| `Esc` | Escape / cancel |
+
+## Configuration
+
+Configuration lives under the XDG config directory — `~/.config/podtui` by
+default (`$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/podtui` if set).
+
+| File | Purpose |
+|------|---------|
+| `feeds.json` | Your subscribed feeds (RSS/podcast sources) |
+| `sources.json` | Custom feed sources |
+| `downloads.json` | Downloaded episode metadata |
+| `keybinds.jsonc` | Keybinding remaps (see above) |
+| `themes/` | Optional custom theme files |
+
+Env overrides: `PODTUI_AUDIO_BACKEND`, `XDG_CONFIG_HOME`. Startup also reads
+the same OpenTUI environment variables.
+
+## Development
 
 ```bash
-bun dev
+bun install        # install dependencies
+bun run dev        # run with hot reload
+bun test           # run the test suite
+bun run build      # bundle JS + copy native libs into dist/
+make native        # rebuild cavacore from C source
+make lint          # type-check (tsc)
 ```
 
-This project was created using `bun create tui`. [create-tui](https://git.new/create-tui) is the easiest way to get started with OpenTUI.
+### Releasing
+
+Tag a release (e.g. `v0.1.0`); CI builds and uploads the per-platform tarballs
+to your GitHub Release automatically:
+
+```bash
+make dist        # build the standalone binary + tarball for THIS platform
+make dist-mac    # (run on macOS)    → podtui-darwin-<arch>.tar.gz
+make dist-linux  # (run on Linux)    → podtui-linux-<arch>.tar.gz
+```
+
+`make dist` emits a config-independent binary: Bun does not bake bunfig
+settings into `--compile` output, and the solid JSX transform is registered in
+`build.ts` itself. The binary then embeds the `preload`-free runtime, so launch
+it from any normal directory.
+
+## Packaging model
+
+A release tarball is three files sitting side by side:
+
+```
+podtui                  # standalone compiled binary (embeds the Bun runtime)
+libopentui.<dylib|so>   # OpenTUI native renderer FFI library
+libcavacore.<dylib|so>  # cavacore spectrum FFI library (built from C)
+```
+
+PodTui loads its native libraries relative to the binary, so **keep them in
+the same directory**. The compiled binary embeds the Bun runtime, so it runs
+with no Bun installed. Each release builds one tarball per OS/arch in CI; there
+is no cross-compilation.

+ * useScrollIntoView — keeps the ref'd row visible inside its enclosing
+ * `<scrollbox>` whenever the focus accessor is true.
+ *
+ * OpenTUI's `ScrollBoxRenderable` has built-in *keyboard* scrolling but does
+ * NOT auto-scroll to follow a programmatically-focused child (the app moves
+ * its own cursor via the yazi nav store, so the scrollbox never sees a key
+ * for row movement). Every scrollable panel therefore drifts out of view the
+ * moment the cursor crosses the viewport edge.
+ *
+ * Attach the returned `ref` callback to the element that represents the
+ * focused row of a scrollable list and call the hook with a `when()` that is
+ * true for exactly that row (e.g. `() => index() === focus()`). Whenever the
+ * accessor flips true, the nearest ScrollBoxRenderable is scrolled just enough
+ * to bring the element back into the viewport — a "nearest-edge" scroll:
+ *   • scroll up only if the row's top is clipped above the viewport,
+ *   • scroll down only if the row's bottom is clipped below the viewport,
+ * never snapping more than necessary (matches yazi list behaviour).
+ *
+ * Timing: for ordinary cursor movement (j/k) the list layout does not change
+ * — only background colour and the cursor glyph flip — so the focused row's
+ * Yoga-computed position is already valid when this effect fires, and the
+ * scroll is applied synchronously. On first mount / content population the
+ * layout for the new rows has not yet been computed, so the hook polls on a
