v3.5.0

NodeLink v3.5.0

NodeLink v3.5.0 delivers a big expansion in sources, audio capabilities, and server tooling. The worker architecture is reworked into specialized source and voice execution paths with stronger isolation, plus a command socket and improved orchestration for worker control. New integrations include Telegram, Bilibili, Genius, Amazon Music mirroring, Pinterest, Mixcloud, Audiomack, Gaana, and Shazam, plus richer source recommendations and specialized searches for YouTube and SoundCloud. On the platform side, worker management gains a dedicated API, improved scaling, stability, and source validation. The audio pipeline sees memory and CPU optimization, new filters (reverb and flanger), voice receive, and a raw PCM streaming endpoint. YouTube and Spotify stability continue to improve, and client headers are refreshed for 2026.

Commit count in v3.4.0..dev: 115 (requested 114). This file includes all commits from that range.
