Root cause identified: two separate problems

Problem 1 — Missing Friday recurrence (scheduling config, not a code bug)

Checked schedule_entries for RLMradio-M on May 2 (Friday) between 4–7 PM. Result: no entry exists for that window.

The "Conversation without compromise" webstream has three entries on RLMradio-M:

Entry	Recurrence	Days
Mar 17 2–7 PM	custom	[2, 4] (Tue/Thu)
Mar 14 2–7 PM	none (one-time)	—
Mar 21 4–7 PM	weekly	(Saturday)

May 2 was a Friday — none of these fire on Friday. The scheduler correctly left the slot empty. After the last transition track at 4:00 PM, the executor went idle → silence.

Fix needed: Add Friday to the recurring schedule in the UI. Go to RLMradio-M schedule → edit the Conversation without Compromise recurring entry → add Friday to the recurrence days.

Problem 2 — Zombie pipeline bug (code bug, tracked separately)

When a GStreamer pipeline connects to an HTTP source but produces no audio data (stalled buffer, codec mismatch, throttled connection), watchWebstreamPipeline never detects a failure — it's stuck waiting for the pipeline process to exit, which it never does. The broadcast mount plays silence while appearing "connected."

This is a real code bug that needs a throughput watchdog: if zero bytes flow to the broadcast mount for a configurable window while SourceType="webstream", force-kill the pipeline and trigger reconnect. Will be fixed in an upcoming release.
