+Dashboard source cards now warn when a portal subscription is about to lapse:
+an amber "Expires in N d" chip appears within a week of the expiry date, and
+an "Expired" chip once it has passed. Xtream expirations come from the same
+cached status check the playlist switcher uses; Stalker portals reuse the
+account info saved at import.

+Xtream movie and episode downloads now keep their provider-compatible identity from the first request through legacy retries after source removal. Recoverable connection drops retain validated partials and show a credential-safe code; Retry resumes only with ETag or Last-Modified, otherwise it safely restarts.

+drawn toward the top-left corner at a fraction of its size, in windowed and
+fullscreen mode alike. The video now fills the player area correctly at any
+display scale and page zoom, with no need for a high-DPI compatibility
+workaround.

+Stalker streams that require the portal session now play in the built-in
+players (HTML5, Video.js, ArtPlayer), not only in VLC/MPV: the player's

+The self-hosted web app now talks to Stalker portals exactly like the desktop

+Stalker portals now receive channel commands exactly as a real set-top box
+sends them: already-encoded parts of a channel's `cmd` are no longer
+double-encoded, so strict portals and reseller panels that compare the command
+literally work again. Playing Stalker channels from Favorites or global
+collections now also handles portals that answer with relative stream paths.
