(Major change) main() function completely refactored into helpers. _init_controllers now handles decoupled initialization. _process_audio loop logic was fixed to correctly initialize wake words on startup.
mic.recorder() loop is now much more robust against OS buffering issue when the microphone is muted and wakewords were detected and processed after unmute.
__init__ was completely rewritten to be decoupled. It now listens for mic_muted/mic_unmuted events to manage its own state instead of reading from ServerState.
__init__ was completely rewritten to be decoupled. It now receives loop, event_bus, config, and preferences directly and no longer has any reference to ServerState.
ServerState is now a pure data container, no longer holding controller instances. The satellite reference was re-added, as it's required by the audio thread to call satellite.wakeup(). Fixed a TypeError by re-ordering non-default fields.

Replaced sounddevice with soundcard, removed the audio Queue, added the new download directory to the search path, and added the device listing arguments

Removed all argparse.add_argument() calls, except for the new --config flag. The main() function now calls load_config_from_json() at startup. All internal logic now references the config object (e.g., config.app.name) instead of the old args object.
Adds new dataclasses (AppConfig, AudioConfig, LedConfig, etc.) to define the application's configuration structure. Includes a load_config_from_json() helper to parse the JSON file and provide default values for any omitted sections
This is the major change. All the _is_speaking, _run_finished, etc. flags are gone, replaced by a single self._state variable and a _set_state method. The logic is now much cleaner.
Goal: satellite.py currently uses a set of boolean flags (_is_streaming_audio, _tts_played, _run_finished, _is_speaking) to figure out what it's doing. This is hard to read and easy to break. Replaced this with a clean, formal state machine (using an Enum). This makes the logic explicit and much easier to manage.
added the SatelliteState Enum at the top and removed the media_player_entity from ServerState as it's better managed by the satellite itself
Goal: We'll apply the exact same pattern to the MqttController. The paho-mqtt library runs its _on_message callback in a separate thread. We'll stop it from modifying state directly and instead schedule a new function to run on the main asyncio loop.
Here is the complete file. The key changes are:
The _on_message function is now tiny. It just gets the topic/payload and uses self.state.loop.call_soon_threadsafe to schedule a new function.
A new function _handle_message_on_loop contains all the logic that used to be in _on_message. This new function will run safely on the main asyncio loop, eliminating the race condition.
Fix MpvMediaPlayer Race Condition
Goal: The mpv library runs in its own thread. When a track finishes, its callback (_on_idle_active) runs in that thread and tries to modify the satellite's state, creating a race condition. We will fix this by "marshaling" that callback onto the main asyncio loop.
added loop=loop to the MpvMediaPlayer constructors
Selects the best available audio output backend for mpv.
The selection follows a clear priority:
1. A fully qualified device string (e.g., 'alsa/plughw:...') is used directly.
2. A simple device name tries PipeWire, then PulseAudio, then ALSA.
3. No device specified (or 'default') tries the default for PipeWire, PulseAudio, and ALSA in order.
