leetcrypt 0e0dc27dbe feat(music): bundled CC-BY session soundtrack + /music player
Add a session background-music feature to the TUI. Ships two bundled
CC BY 4.0 albums (Kevin MacLeod / incompetech.com) under hh/music/:
'crypt' (dark ambient, 5 tracks) and 'terminal' (synth/chiptune, 6).

- hh/src/music.rs: playlist model + subprocess player (ffplay/mpv/cvlc
  fallback chain), album discovery (user ~/.hh/music shadows bundled),
  random shuffle, and /music import of the operator's own audio.
- /music [list] · play [album] (blank/random shuffles) · stop · next ·
  import <path> [as <name>]; now-playing shown in the top bar + help.
- docs/music-licensing.md: CC-BY provenance/attribution register.

Session-music licensing & provenance

Generated 2026-07-07 for the bundled albums under hh/music/.

This is the provenance + attribution register for the background-music albums that the Rust client plays during a session (/music, see hh/src/music.rs). Each album is a hh/music/<name>.json manifest pointing at the .mp3 files shipped alongside it.

Verdict: ALL bundled tracks CLEARED — CC BY 4.0, attribution required

  • 2 albums / 11 tracks, every one composed by Kevin MacLeod and published on incompetech.com under Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International (CC BY 4.0).
  • CC BY 4.0 permits redistribution, bundling, and commercial use provided the author is credited. That makes these safe to commit to the repo, push to any remote, demo publicly, and ship — unlike the quarantined character art (character-art-licensing.md).
  • Attribution is carried in two machine-readable places already: the license field of each hh/music/*.json manifest, and this register. Keep both intact.

Required attribution (CC BY 4.0)

Surface this credit wherever the music is used publicly (demo video description, release notes, an About/Credits screen). Do not remove the license fields from the manifests, and do not relabel these tracks as original or royalty-free-without-credit.

crypt is the dark-ambient album (matches the default "crypt" vestment); terminal is the hacker synth/chiptune album. Files live under hh/music/<album>/.

Imported albums (/music import)

/music import <path> writes user albums to ~/.hh/music/*.json, referencing the operator's own files in place (absolute paths — nothing is copied into the repo). Those files are the operator's responsibility and are out of scope for this register; only the bundled hh/music/ albums above are shipped and covered here.
