Describe the bug
After linking a Spotify account, the app stops working after approximately 20 minutes when running in the background. The session appears to expire or disconnect, requiring the user to fully quit the app and re-authenticate by linking their Spotify account again on relaunch.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Open spotatui and link your Spotify account
  2. Use the app normally, then leave it running in the background
  3. Wait approximately 20 minutes
  4. Return to the app — playback controls are unresponsive / app has stopped functioning
  5. Quit and reopen the app — prompted to link Spotify account again

Expected behavior
The app should maintain the Spotify account link and remain functional indefinitely while running in the background, without requiring re-authentication after a short period of inactivity.
