now

Current system-wide now-playing state (JSON):

!"${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/media.sh" now

The progress bar, already rendered (empty when the bar is switched off, when nothing is playing, or when the track has no duration):

!"${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/media.sh" bar

Present the state to the user exactly in this format, as plain markdown lines — NOT inside a code block, so the bold/italic styling renders:

• Line 1: ▶︎ **<title>** — *<artist>* · <appName> — use ▶︎ when playing is true, ⏸ when false; title bold, artist italic. If appName is missing, use bundleIdentifier.
• Line 2 (only when the bar above is non-empty): the bar copied verbatim, then two spaces and **m:ss** / m:ss (elapsed time bold). Never redraw the bar, re-space it, change its width, or substitute its characters — media.sh bar is the same builder that draws the statusline segment, and copying it byte-for-byte is what keeps the two surfaces agreeing. Most presets cannot be reproduced by hand anyway: they are computed waveforms whose glyphs depend on the playback position.
• The elapsed m:ss is ALWAYS elapsedTimeNow (use elapsedTime only when elapsedTimeNow is absent) — elapsedTime is the app's last snapshot and can lag minutes behind; the statusline segment shows elapsedTimeNow, so anything else here would contradict it. The total m:ss is duration.
• If duration is absent (live stream): the bar comes back empty; show **m:ss** / LIVE (same elapsed rule).
• If the JSON is null: tell the user nothing is playing right now.
• If the JSON contains "degraded": true or a stderr hint appeared: add one short note that the plugin is in fallback mode and /media:doctor has details.
