Partial The MPRIS bridge and D-Bus glue are vibe-codeable, but controlling Spotify's player depends on undocumented internals and licensed streaming access that a builder cannot easily reproduce.
What it would actually take: Build a Linux daemon that runs the official Spotify player in a sandboxed webview or process and exposes MPRIS over D-Bus so media keys and playerctl work. The hard parts are reverse-engineering or embedding Spotify's client, handling its authentication and DRM, and keeping up with breaking changes. Systems-level Linux desktop experience and legal review of Spotify's terms are needed.
