+# Streams the current synced-lyrics window to eww's `lyrics` deflisten
+# variable as one JSON object per line, forever, one tick per second.
+#
+# Runs "mpdtui -lyrics-line" once per tick (its own 4-line window: 1 line
+# of context above the current line, the current line, 2 lines below --
+# see mpdtui's internal/lyricsline) and pushes the result straight
+# through -- except when the *current* line (line 2) has changed since
+# the previous tick: then it first pushes "reveal: false" (still showing
+# the *old* current text, dimmed) and sleeps briefly before pushing
+# "reveal: true" with the new text at full opacity, so eww.yuck's
+# opacity transition on the current-line label has two distinct states
+# to animate between. A poll-based (defpoll) variable can't do this: it
+# only ever holds one value at a time, so there's no way to briefly show
+# the "dimmed" state in between two polled snapshots -- deflisten's
+# whole point is pushing as many intermediate frames as needed, on our
+# own schedule, not eww's.
+#
+# "reveal" deliberately drives an *opacity* transition, not a `revealer`
+# widget wrapping the label -- a `revealer` was tried first and collapses
+# its child to zero height while hidden, which shrinks (then re-grows)
+# the whole box every single line change. Opacity leaves the label's own
+# row height untouched the entire time, so nothing above/below it moves.
+#
+# current_size scales the current line's own font down for long lines
+# (see font_size_for) so a long line doesn't overflow the box's fixed
+# width instead of needing the box to grow to fit it.
+#
+# Also emits "visible" (true only when MPD is actively [playing]), which
+# eww.yuck uses to wrap the *entire* widget in an outer revealer -- NOT
+# "eww close"/"eww open" on the window itself. Closing the window that
+# way was tried first and is a trap: eww only keeps a deflisten script
+# alive while some open window is actually using its variable, so a
+# script that closes its own window gets killed the moment it does --
+# nothing is left running to ever reopen it. Collapsing an outer
+# revealer keeps the window (and this script) alive the whole time,
+# avoiding that self-inflicted dead end entirely.
+
+# font_size_for: the current line's font shrinks in three steps as its
+# character count grows, so a long line stays inside the box's fixed
+# 580px content width rather than needing the box to widen or the text
+# to wrap. Thresholds picked for DejaVu Sans Mono at the base 15px size
+# (~9px/char): 45 chars is where it starts getting close to the box's
+# ~540px usable text width (580px minus the box's own 20px*2 padding).
