saopig1andClaude Opus 4.8 3a34c01abb fix(auto-pause): auto-resume on a listener's return via clientEnter event
Follow-up to the auto-pause fix: resume never fired when someone came back.

Root cause (verified live against a TS3 server): the full-client library's
command/response channel is dead whenever >=2 clients are connected anywhere on
the server — clientlist, channellist and channelclientlist ALL time out
(confirmed even with the two clients in different channels). So the moment a
listener returns is exactly the moment occupancy can no longer be queried, and
the query-based refreshOccupancy() can never observe the return -> no resume.
Event channelID is also unusable (library reads notify `cid` but enter-view
carries `ctid`, so it's always 0), so per-channel membership can't be derived
from events either.

Fix (minimal, asymmetric): keep PAUSE on the authoritative clientlist path
(reliable precisely because it only succeeds when the bot is alone on the
server — the only state pause should fire), and arm RESUME directly from the
clientEnter push event. Because the bot only auto-pauses while alone, the sole
way occupancy can return while autoPaused is set is a fresh connection, which
arrives reliably as clientEnter. New pure predicate shouldResumeOnReturn() +
_resumeIfReturning() resume iff autoPaused && paused; the resume branch routes
through handleOccupancy(1) and NEVER pauses (userCount>0), so a spurious enter
can only harmlessly resume. The bot's own enter at connect is a no-op
(autoPaused is already false).

This deliberately does NOT adopt a full event-tracked peer set: events don't
reliably seed clients already present when the bot joins, so a count-from-events
==0 would reintroduce the false-pause bug we just fixed, and reconcile can't
heal it (clientlist only works when alone). Pause must trust only the
authoritative query; resume can trust the event.

Net semantics: pause when the server is empty (bot alone), resume when someone
connects. Channel granularity is impossible with this library. UI copy updated
to say "服务器" instead of "频道", and the Settings toggle default corrected to
false to match the backend default. cmdVote intentionally left as-is.

Verified live: auto-paused bot + a real client connecting -> resume fires with
no clientlist call in the path; bot's own enter and not-auto-paused enters do
not resume. 311 unit tests pass.

# Auto-pause on empty channel — design
**Issue:** [#79](https://github.com/ZHANGTIANYAO1/teamspeak-music-bot/issues/79) item 3
**Date:** 2026-05-30
**Status:** Approved (brainstorm), pending implementation plan
## Problem
When everyone leaves the bot's voice channel, music keeps playing to an empty room.
The maintainer wants an option to **auto-pause when the channel is empty** (no disconnect)
and resume when someone returns.
## Decisions (from brainstorm)
- **Global toggle**, reusing the **already-declared but currently dead** `config.autoPauseOnEmpty`
(`src/data/config.ts`, default `true`). No per-bot granularity (YAGNI).
- **Event-driven, near-instant** reaction (not the 30s poll alone) — subscribe to TS client
enter/leave/move events; keep the existing 30s idle poll as a fallback.
- **Auto-resume only what we auto-paused** — a user-paused track is never auto-resumed.
- Independent of the existing **idle-disconnect** (`idleTimeoutMinutes`): both share the same
emptiness signal but act independently (pause immediately; disconnect after N minutes).
## Current state (verified)
- `client.ts` `getClientsInChannel()` returns all clients in the bot's channel *including the
bot*; callers compute "others" as `length - 1`. No persistent roster.
- The library emits `clientEnter` / `clientLeave` / `clientMoved`; `client.ts` currently only
*logs* `clientEnter` and does not re-emit leave/moved.
- The idle poller in `instance.ts` (`_startIdlePoller`, every 30s) already computes
`userCount = getClientsInChannel().length - 1` and, when `<= 0`, schedules an
idle-disconnect after `idleTimeoutMinutes`.
- `player.pause()` / `player.resume()` already pause/resume **without disconnecting** (ffmpeg
stays alive, no voice sent). The player only knows `idle|playing|paused` — there is **no**
auto-vs-user-pause distinction today.
- `BotConfig.autoPauseOnEmpty` exists (default true) but is **read nowhere**.
## Design
### Occupancy signal (shared)
Extract the idle poller's count into one method on `BotInstance`:
`checkChannelOccupancy()` → queries `getClientsInChannel()`, computes `userCount = length - 1`,
and drives **both** the existing idle-disconnect timer (unchanged behavior) **and** the new
auto-pause logic below. It is called by:
1. the existing 30s poll (fallback), and
2. new TS event handlers.
### Event subscription
`client.ts`: subscribe to and **re-emit** `clientEnter`, `clientLeave`, `clientMoved` up to
`BotInstance`. `BotInstance.setupTsEvents()` calls `checkChannelOccupancy()` on each (a re-query
is simplest, since `clientLeave` carries no channel id). This gives near-instant pause/resume;
the poll remains as a safety net.
### Auto-pause logic (inside `checkChannelOccupancy`)
Add a private `autoPaused = false` flag to `BotInstance`.
- **Empty** (`userCount <= 0`): if `config.autoPauseOnEmpty` **and** `player.getState() === "playing"`
→ `player.pause()`, `autoPaused = true`, emit `stateChange`. (Idle-disconnect timer still
scheduled as today.)
- **Re-populated** (`userCount > 0`): if `autoPaused` **and** `player.getState() === "paused"`
→ `player.resume()`, `autoPaused = false`, emit `stateChange`. (Idle timer cancelled as today.)
### `autoPaused` bookkeeping (so user pauses are respected)
Clear `autoPaused = false` in `cmdPause`, `cmdResume`, `cmdStop`, `cmdPlay`, and on
connect/disconnect (the `disconnected` handler calls `player.stop()` → idle). Net effect: only a
track *we* auto-paused gets auto-resumed; a user-paused track stays paused when someone returns.
### Config wiring
- `GET /api/bot/settings`: include `autoPauseOnEmpty` in the payload (alongside `idleTimeoutMinutes`).
- `POST /api/bot/settings`: accept + validate a boolean `autoPauseOnEmpty`, `saveConfig`, and
propagate to live bots via a new `BotInstance.updateAutoPause(enabled)` (mirrors
`updateIdleTimeout`). Since the instance reads `this.config.autoPauseOnEmpty` live, propagation
can be as simple as updating the stored config reference / a field the check reads.
- Frontend `Settings.vue` → the **行为设置** section (already `bot.manage`-gated): add a toggle
for `autoPauseOnEmpty` next to the idle-timeout control; load it in the settings fetch and send
it on save.
## Components / files
- `src/ts-protocol/client.ts` — subscribe + re-emit `clientEnter`/`clientLeave`/`clientMoved`.
- `src/bot/instance.ts` — `autoPaused` field; `checkChannelOccupancy()` (refactored from the
idle poller, drives idle + auto-pause); event handlers; clear `autoPaused` in user commands +
connect/disconnect; `updateAutoPause(enabled)`.
- `src/web/api/bot.ts` — `GET`/`POST /settings` handle `autoPauseOnEmpty`.
- `web/src/views/Settings.vue` (+ player store settings load/save) — the toggle.
- `src/data/config.ts` — field already exists (no change beyond confirming default).
## Testing
- **Decision unit test (TDD):** extract the pause/resume decision into a testable method, e.g.
`applyOccupancy(userCount)` operating on an injected fake player (`getState`/`pause`/`resume`)
+ the `autoPaused` flag + the config flag. Cases: empty+playing+enabled → pause + `autoPaused`;
re-populated+`autoPaused`+paused → resume + clear; re-populated when NOT `autoPaused` (user
pause) → no resume; flag disabled → no pause; empty while idle (not playing) → no-op.
- **API test:** `GET`/`POST /api/bot/settings` round-trips `autoPauseOnEmpty` (validates boolean,
persists, propagates).
- Live TS event wiring is verified by code review + a manual run (can't unit-test a real server).
## Non-goals
- No per-bot toggle (global only). No change to idle-disconnect behavior. No new dependency.
- Reaction relies on events the bot can already see (same-channel members are always in view);
no extra channel subscription needed.

## Update (2026-06): occupancy is event-driven & server-wide, not channel-filtered
Live testing against a real TS3 server (with `@honeybbq/teamspeak-client` 0.2.2)
invalidated two assumptions above. Recording the corrected model here so nobody
reintroduces the old design:
- **Default is OFF**, not on. See `getDefaultConfig()` in `src/data/config.ts`
and the rationale comment there.
- **Query commands are unusable when others are present.** `clientlist`,
`channellist`, and `channelclientlist` ALL time out (~5–10s) whenever ≥2
clients are connected to the **server** (verified even when the two clients
are in *different* channels). They succeed only when the bot is the sole
client on the whole server. So `getClientsInChannel()` returns `[]` exactly
when occupancy matters, and `occupancyFromClientList(0)` returns `null`
("unknown") so callers skip the decision rather than mis-reading it as empty.
- **PAUSE** therefore only ever fires when the bot becomes alone on the server
(the one state where the query works). This is reliable and stays on the
query path (`refreshOccupancy()` + the 30s idle poller).
- **RESUME** is armed directly from the `clientEnter` push event
(`shouldResumeOnReturn()` + `_resumeIfReturning()` in `instance.ts`), NOT from
a query. Because the bot only auto-pauses while alone, the sole way occupancy
can return while `autoPaused` is set is a fresh connection — delivered as
`clientEnter`. The resume branch never pauses (userCount is always > 0).
- **Net semantics:** "pause when the server is empty (bot alone), resume when
someone connects." Channel granularity is **impossible** with this library:
`clientEnter`'s channel field is always `0` (library reads notify param `cid`
but enter-view carries `ctid`), and `clientMoved` delivery is flaky. Do NOT
attempt to layer `clientMoved.targetChannelID` channel-accuracy on top — it is
systematically wrong for direct-connect clients and reintroduces unreliability.
The correct path to true channel scoping is an upstream library fix.
- **Knock-on:** idle-disconnect shares the same signal and is likewise
server-wide. UI copy in `web/src/views/Settings.vue` was updated to say
"服务器" rather than "频道" to match. `cmdVote` was intentionally left on the
query path (out of scope; switching it would inherit the same timeout).
