Adds a new `applescript` engine that controls the local Spotify app directly via AppleScript instead of going through Spotify Connect cloud servers. This solves the issue where Spotify Connect commands update the cloud state but the local app doesn't receive them (device desynced/not registered). The AppleScript engine: - Handles playback control (play, pause, next, prev, seek, volume, shuffle, repeat) - Falls back to web API for search, library, and playlist operations - Only available on macOS (darwin) Usage: spogo play <uri> --engine applescript 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Usage
Why this is useful
When the local Spotify app loses its connection to Spotify Connect (which happens when it's idle), the connect/web engines update Spotify's cloud state but the local app never receives the commands. The AppleScript engine bypasses this entirely by talking directly to Spotify.app.
