Sleep Sounds
PlumStream can now play long, interruption-free background audio without relying on an outside service.
New
Added a dedicated Sleep Sounds music library with soft white noise, deep brown noise, and a gentle thunderstorm.

Improved
Updated PlumRequests from Seerr 3.4.0 to 3.4.1 with a stopped-state database and configuration backup plus a tagged rollback image.

New
Added a weekly read-only PLUM-ARR maintenance report covering capacity, container health, and configuration validity without pulling or recreating anything.
Protected
Kept automatic library deletion disabled and the Leaving Soon review collection non-destructive.
