Siri: App Intents with phrases that need no setup: Resume, Pause, Skip forward, Skip back, Set a sleep timer, How many unread. The playback ones are AudioPlaybackIntents, run in the app and allowed to start audio from the background. Playback is now one shared instance (Playback.shared) so Siri and the widget reach it with no page loaded. It remembers the last episode and its place (LastPlayed), so Resume works with the app closed; the page, opened afterwards, does not know about an episode started that way. Widget: small and medium on the home screen, circular and rectangular on the lock screen. It shows the unread count and the last episode, with a Resume or Pause button (PlayPauseIntent, shared with Siri). It draws what the app writes to the App Group group.net.sdf1.ipx. The app asks for a redraw on play, pause, a new episode or a new count, not on every position, since iOS rations redraws. Shared/ builds into both targets, with WIDGET set in the widget's, where the player does not exist. ipx's push now carries content-available, which wakes the closed app for a moment to give the widget the count the icon just got (#433). Tested: unit tests for the snapshot and the remembered place, 19 in all; in the simulator, playing an episode wrote the snapshot to the App Group. Not testable there: Siri, and the widget drawn.

[Unreleased]
Added
- iPX on the iPhone: the page in an app, playing through the phone's own player, so an episode plays on with the screen locked and the lock screen, Control Center and a car's buttons drive it (#418).
- Player token (shake, then Player Token): an ipx API token, kept in the keychain, which the player, the badge and CarPlay send to
https://ipxapi.sdf1.netinstead of using the page's sign-in cookie, so playback does not stop when that cookie expires (#419). - The icon shows All Subscriptions' unread count, as the page's badge does: set when the app comes forward, after an item is marked read, and by a refresh iOS runs now and then while the app is closed, so it can be hours behind (#421). Reading in the app and new items arriving while it is open set it at once, and while an episode plays it is checked every quarter of an hour.
- Episodes kept on the phone, with the page's Keep button, play with no connection: the app fetches the file in the background, even with the app closed, and plays it from the phone; where you got to and what you finished offline is sent once the connection is back. Signing out removes them (#425).
- A sleep timer in the player, kept by the phone, so it pauses on time with the screen locked, fading out over the last ten seconds; and an AirPlay button beside it, for another speaker or a TV (#429).
- iPX opens with no connection, showing the lists it last had, as it does in a browser: the page's service worker now runs in the app. This is for
ipodderx.sdf1.netonly, and links to other sites open in Safari (#435). - Siri and Shortcuts: "Resume iPX", "Pause iPX", "Skip forward in iPX", "Skip back in iPX", "Set a sleep timer in iPX" and "How many unread in iPX", with nothing to set up, and each an action in Shortcuts. Resume works with the app closed, carrying on with the last episode from where you left off (#427).
- A widget for the home screen and lock screen: the unread count, and the episode you were on with a button to resume or pause it (#428).
- The icon's count stays right with the app closed: ipx sends it to the phone when it changes, once its
[push]is set up, in place of waiting for iOS's background refresh (#433). - Presses are felt: a light tap on play, pause, flag and pull to refresh, a success on marking read, a warning with an error (#430).
