Description

This PR fixes a bug in the Spotify control section where the "Connect to HRM Web Player" button would remain visible even after the user successfully connected the player, as long as no track was playing.

Fixes #9305

Change Type: 🐛 Bug fix (non-breaking change fixing an issue)

Changes Made

The fix involves:

  1. Robust Rendering Logic: The UI now uses shouldShowControls which checks if the Spotify service is initialized AND either track data is present OR an active device exists.
  2. Automatic Synchronization: A new useEffect hook refreshes the device list whenever the window regains focus, resolving stale state issues.
  3. Improved UX: Added a "Connecting..." state with a loading spinner when the user clicks the connect button, and an "Awaiting Spotify..." loading indicator while the service initializes.

Testing

  1. Unit Tests: Added comprehensive tests in SpotifyControls.test.tsx to verify these new states and behaviors.
    Verified locally with unit tests (all passing) and Playwright visual verification.

Closes #9305

PR created automatically by Jules for task 15059371561288973585 started by @arii

Resolved the issue where the "Connect to HRM Web Player" button incorrectly persisted after a successful connection.

Key changes:
- Implemented `shouldShowControls` logic in `SpotifyControls.tsx` prioritizing `spotifyServiceInitialized` and active device status over brittle track metadata.
- Added a window focus listener to force a Spotify device list refresh, ensuring the UI stays in sync with the server.
- Introduced an `isConnecting` state with a loading spinner and button disabling to prevent duplicate connection attempts.
- Added a loading state ('Awaiting Spotify...') while the service is initializing.
- Updated unit tests to cover the new UI states and transition logic.
- Verified visual changes via Playwright screenshots.

This improvement ensures a smoother transition to playback controls as soon as a device is active, regardless of whether a track is currently playing.
