Promotion polish: release workflow, PyPI, README, social preview

[hippi345]

Summary

Prepares the v1.0.0 launch: GitHub Release + PyPI trusted publishing workflow, README/pitch polish, repo social preview asset, Dependabot alignment, and removal of deprecated root scripts.

GitHub About (paste for Joel)

Description:

Shows your currently playing Spotify track as a glass-style album-art tile on your desktop wallpaper (Windows, macOS, Linux).

Topics:

spotify, wallpaper, now-playing, album-art, desktop-customization, windows, macos, linux, python, mpris, smtc

Social preview

Upload docs/social-preview.png (1280×640) via Settings → General → Social preview → Edit → Upload an image. The image is a clean app-generated frame (glass tile and typography only — no desktop wallpaper or other on-screen content).

Superseded Dependabot PRs (close after merge)

PR	Bump	Folded into this PR
#2	actions/checkout v4 → v7	.github/workflows/ci.yml, .github/workflows/release.yml
#3	actions/setup-python v5 → v7	same
#4	pytest 8.4.2 → 9.1.1	pyproject.toml, requirements-lock.txt
#5	pytest-cov 6.3.0 → 7.1.0	same

Left out: none — all four open Dependabot PRs were applied.

Root legacy scripts

Removed spotifyWindows.py and macosSpotify.py (deprecated shims). The only code reference was tests/test_windows_entry_point_dpi.py (test removed); use now-playing-windows / now-playing-macos console entry points instead.

Release workflow

• Tag v* → build now-playing-windows.exe (PyInstaller on windows-latest) and attach to GitHub Release; build sdist/wheel and publish to PyPI via trusted publishing (pypi environment).
• workflow_dispatch with dry_run: true → Windows exe uploaded as artifact only (no Release/PyPI).

Local checks on this branch: python -m build, twine check dist/*, pyinstaller packaging/now-playing-smoke.spec (Linux smoke).

Draft good-first issues (not filed)

1. Add now-playing --version

Title: Expose package version on the CLI (--version)

Body: pyproject.toml is at 1.0.0, but now-playing --help has no --version. Add importlib.metadata.version("now-playing-desktops") in cli.py (with a small test in tests/test_cli.py) so support tickets and bug reports can cite the installed release.

2. CI: PyInstaller smoke build on Linux

Title: Run packaging/now-playing-smoke.spec in CI after pip install -e .

Body: packaging/now-playing-smoke.spec catches packaging/hook regressions without needing Windows runners. Add a short step to ci.yml after the wheel build (install pyinstaller, run spec, assert dist/now-playing-smoke exists).

3. Document Windows .exe vs pipx in README troubleshooting

Title: README: first-run notes for PyInstaller exe and pipx installs

Body: The Windows quick start mentions Releases and pipx install now-playing-desktops. Add a troubleshooting row covering SmartScreen, missing WinRT/SMTC when not using the [windows] extra wheel, and where logs live (logging_setup.log_file_path()).

4. Configurable tile corner / margin

Title: Optional env var for glass tile screen position

Body: composer.py centers the glass panel on the wallpaper. Some users want bottom-right like a widget. Add something like NOW_PLAYING_TILE_ANCHOR (e.g. center, bottom-right) parsed in config.py and applied in layout code, with unit tests in tests/test_composer_layout_fonts.py.

Manual steps for Joel

1. About: set description and topics (see above).
2. Social preview: upload docs/social-preview.png (Settings → General → Social preview).
3. Dependabot: close superseded PRs Bump actions/checkout from 4 to 7 #2–Bump pytest-cov from 6.3.0 to 7.1.0 #5 after merge.
4. PyPI trusted publisher: on pypi.org create a pending trusted publisher — project now-playing-desktops, owner hippi345, repo nowPlayingDesktops, workflow release.yml, environment pypi.
5. GitHub environment: create a pypi environment under repo Settings → Environments (used by the publish job).
6. Tag (once): after you are happy with CI and the above, merge this PR, then only when ready: git tag v1.0.0 && git push origin v1.0.0 (do not push the tag until trusted publishing is configured).
