feat(cli): default to bubbles TUI, add find/play subcmds + JSON favorites

- implement internal/ui with bubbles list + ★ fav markers, filter, enter stub
- add data/favorites (JSON roundtrip, Add/Remove, XDG), config tests
- wire subcommands: `find -j`, `play [url|search]`
- gate legacy wmenu behind --legacy; keep old flags for seeding
- fix inverted -short guards, format string, go.mod deps
- add unit tests for radio prune, player IsInstalled, ui keys, etc.

 *Generated from direct inspection of the source in `apps/gostations/`. Re-run `go test -short`, force error paths, and review `go vet` / `staticcheck` after fixes.*
 
-## Implementation Status (as of reorg work)
-- Phase 0/1 started: go.mod bumped, vendor/ removed, build scripts modernized (no forced vendor/GOPATH).
-- Critical browser panics addressed structurally (new internal/radio with proper err returns, nil guards, cached host resolution, context+timeout http, no discarded rand sources).
-- Verified: bad DNS now gives "warning: station search: resolve api host: ..." + graceful empty menu (no Intn or nil deref panic).
-- subExecute bug: legacy path in internal/player now uses clean Run-only (no post-Run CombinedOutput); radiomenu updated to use it (no more guaranteed "[]").
-- Quick wins: fixed unformatted config error msg and "Erorr" typo.
-- Tests: fixed one inverted -short guard for Live tests; -short now cleanly passes units.
-- Reorg skeleton: internal/{config,radio,player,version,data,ui} dirs + initial cleaned code + shims for compat. Stations/radiomenu wired to new paths.
-- Next: complete phase1 (player integration, more test coverage, full removal of duplicated buggy code from root files), then TUI etc per PLAN.md.
+## Implementation Status (as of reorg + subcommands work)
+- Phase 0/1 + 2 progress: go.mod bumped + vendor removed + builds modernized. Critical panics in browser fixed in internal/radio (graceful errors, timeouts, caching, no panics on bad DNS/http). subExecute root cause mitigated in new player legacy.
+- New structure: internal/{config (cached, proper errs/paths), radio (fixed search), player (interface + cleaned legacy + IsInstalled no-injection), data (JSON favorites), ui (bubbles/list selection with ★ favs), version}.
+- Default now new TUI (bubbles list + filter + fav markers). Old wmenu gated behind --legacy.
+- Subcommands added: "find" (search, supports -j JSON for scripting), "play" (direct or search+play via player pkg, for scripting). Old flags work for seeding.
+- Favorites: JSON impl + tests + wired to show ★ in default TUI list.
+- High value tests added for: data/favorites (roundtrips, edges), radio (prune + error paths), player (IsInstalled + legacy), config (init/get), ui (model keys). Filled: inverted -short guards in Live tests, format string issue, etc. All -short tests clean.
+- Verified: subcmds work (find -j, play starts mpv), legacy still functions, TUI launches (in real tty), error cases graceful, old ini compat.
+- Per user: JSON for favs (done), default new TUI (done), find+play subcmds (done), old wmenu kept gated (done), tests with new code + filled gaps (done).
+- Next per plan: flesh TUI further (hotkeys, real play in enter, favorites toggle), IPC player, cleanup shims, full polish. See PLAN.md.
