Let speakers with guest access play without a setup step (#6088)
# What does this implement/fix? A speaker that allows guest access can already play, but Music Assistant still marked it "setup required" and made you click through an approval screen first. That is inconsistent: an older unencrypted speaker needs no approval at all, even though it is the less secure of the two. Guest-capable devices are now approved automatically when they connect, so they show up ready to play. Pairing stays available as an optional upgrade through Reconfigure. - a device offering guest access is approved on connect, so it plays without any setup step - devices with an audio input still show the approval screen once, since that choice cannot be split out of the setup state - the approval screen is simpler, and its button now reads Finish instead of Next - the "Require pairing" action is gone, along with the enable/disable unpaired access controls in device management: whether a device accepts unpaired connections is the device's own setting - a paired-free guest device now shows a plain note instead of a warning - Reconfigure is hidden on devices with nothing left to set up, instead of opening a flow that can only abort ## Types of changes - [ ] Bugfix (non-breaking change which fixes an issue) — `bugfix` - [ ] New feature (non-breaking change which adds functionality) — `new-feature` - [x] Enhancement to an existing feature — `enhancement` - [ ] New music/player/metadata/plugin provider — `new-provider` - [ ] Breaking change (fix or feature that would cause existing functionality to not work as expected) — `breaking-change` - [ ] Refactor (no behaviour change) — `refactor` - [ ] Documentation only — `documentation` - [ ] Maintenance / chore — `maintenance` - [ ] CI / workflow change — `ci` - [ ] Dependencies bump — `dependencies` ## Checklist - [x] The code change is tested and works locally. - [x] `pre-commit run --all-files` passes. - [x] `pytest` passes, and tests have been added/updated under `tests/` where applicable. - [ ] For changes to shared models, the companion PR in `music-assistant/models` is linked. - [ ] For changes affecting the UI, the companion PR in `music-assistant/frontend` is linked. - [x] I have read and complied with the project's [AI Policy](https://github.com/music-assistant/.github/blob/main/AI_POLICY.md) for any AI-assisted contributions. - [ ] I have [raised a PR against the documentation repository](https://github.com/music-assistant/music-assistant.io/blob/main/CONTRIBUTING.md) targeting the main or beta branch as appropriate.
