Add a repeat attribute to the playlist block that controls whether the playlist loops back to the first track after the last track ends. Previously, the editor always looped while the frontend always stopped, creating inconsistent behavior. Now both respect the repeat setting: - When repeat is off (default): playback stops after the last track - When repeat is on: playback loops back to the first track The toggle is available in the block's Settings panel in the inspector.

There was a problem hiding this comment.
Thanks for working on it, but actually, this isn't what I meant.
My expectation was that the "repeat" toggle would rather be a new control in the player itself, allowing the end user to toggle repeat on or off.
As for the block setting, I don't even think we'll need one, we could just default to "off" for now.
