Introduce a boot-phase guard so gunicorn worker import never blocks on Spotify, Qobuz, Deezer, or Tidal network validation. Network auth checks run only after module initialization completes.
Avoid blocking Spotify auth probes during gunicorn worker import and add a request timeout to the auth probe client so unreachable API calls cannot stall startup indefinitely.
