App 2.45.1: Halloween's song flies across the sky on a bat's banner

Instead of a line at the foot of the hill, a bat tows a parchment
banner with the title and artist through the sky above the sign.

- 2026-11-02 — App 2.45.1: **Halloween's song flies through the sky** (owner: "Instead of taking up screen space on the bottom, can we somehow include the title in the theme itself? ... have text fly through the air"). A bat tows a parchment banner with "♪ title — artist" from left to right across the strip of sky above the sign, behind the moon, one pass about every half minute, again and again while something plays (the title is cut first so the artist stays); the line at the foot of the hill is gone. While a banner flies the view draws about 30 frames a second, as it does while driving. Tested: emulator with the throwaway fake session (banner clear of the sign along the whole pass), unit tests, lint. Not tried on the car.

- 2026-11-02 — App 2.45.0: **now playing on the Overview** (owner: "can we also implement music titles etc in our app?"; display only, Tiles and Halloween first). `NowPlayingWatcher` follows the active media sessions as the music-sources check reads them (`MediaSessionManager`, MEDIA_CONTENT_CONTROL as the system user), with a change listener and a callback per session, so reading costs no call into another app; it never connects to a media browser service (2.42.0) and sends no command. It runs only while the Overview is on screen in Tiles or Halloween with Settings → "Show what's playing" on (**on by default**, `PREF_NOW_PLAYING`). `NowPlaying` (pure, unit-tested) picks the session that plays, the one updated last of several, else the one paused last, passing over sessions without text (Bluetooth's empty one); CarPlay's YouTube titles lose their `[videoID]`; the radio shows its text (the artist field, e.g. "BLIND MELON - NO RAIN") with the station below. Tiles: the empty slot under the battery shows source ("· paused" when paused), title, artist, a cover (the session's picture, or Bluetooth's `ALBUM_ART_URI` file, read small off the main thread) and how far the song is; invisible when nothing plays; the narrow layout has no room and shows none. Halloween: "♪ title — artist" along the foot of the hill, the title cut first. Titles stay on screen: not logged, not sent. Tested: unit tests, lint, emulator with a throwaway build publishing a fake session (CarPlay-like title with ID removed, cover, bar; Halloween line; the switch hides and brings back both). With Halloween chosen the Settings card has two switches more and scrolls further. Not tried on the car: whether the car's sessions, Bluetooth's cover file and the radio text show as in the music-sources checks.
