Building the app against this doc surfaced two traps it pointed straight into, both of which fail silently — the station connects, the server counts a listener, the UI shows a healthy stream, and no audio comes out. The doc recommended `stream_url` over `/listen` for the player. That is backwards on iOS: iOS sniffs a media resource with a small `Range: bytes=0-1` probe before opening the real playback connection, and Icecast ignores the range and answers with an endless 200, so the probe never completes. The backend endpoint already handles exactly this (`_probe_range_end`), which is why it exists. Also added a warning against setting automaticallyWaitsToMinimizeStalling to false. It reads as the obvious choice for live radio, but it drops any play() issued before the item is .readyToPlay and never retries, leaving the player buffering at rate 0 while reporting .playing. Milestone 3 now says to confirm playback is audible rather than connected, since that distinction is the whole difficulty here. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Adds docs/IOS_APP_HANDOFF.md — the context document for starting native iOS app development on the Mac. Covers why native (the iOS PWA suspension bug), the listener API surface, AVPlayer/background-audio implementation notes, suggested repo layout (ios/ folder), and v1 milestones.
