Drop the startup deferral gate, its kill switch and the deferred loads:
they lowered renderer.ipcCallsToFirstCard but moved neither
spawnToFirstCardMs nor load->card beyond drift, and they grew
renderer.initialBytes. Keep the shared in-flight inventory read, inline
it in PlaylistsService with short property names, and copy the joiner's
result with structuredClone (the Electron renderer has it; the services
test setup polyfills it for jsdom).

Journey J1 / renderer.ipcCallsToFirstCard: 12 -> 7.
- PlaylistsService.getAllPlaylists() shares one in-flight SQLite read
between concurrent callers (the playlist effect and the XMLTV source
reconciliation at startup). Settled reads are never reused and every
SQLite write detaches the pending read.
- getM3uFavoriteChannels() stops re-reading the write-once IndexedDB ->
SQLite migration receipt once it has been seen.
- StartupDeferralService holds the download list, app update status and
the dashboard's recent items and favorites until one task after the
render that reveals the routed content (5 s safety timeout).
IPTVNATOR_DISABLE_STARTUP_DEFERRAL=1 is the kill switch.
- reconcileEpgSources and the two distinct migration-flag reads stay on
the critical path: the first is the #1548 revision fence, the second
are different keys, not duplicates.

* test(performance): count startup phases and SQL statements for the J1 launch journey
Implements plan item A2. With IPTVNATOR_PERF_CAPTURE=1 the main process
keeps named counters and registers a main-only performance:read-counters
IPC handler; without the flag nothing is counted and the handler does not
exist.
- debug-trace.ts owns the registry; traceStartupPhase replaces the
trace('startup', ...) sites and counts main.startupPhases.
- The database worker counts executed statements through better-sqlite3's
Statement prototype (the verbose callback expands every statement and
made bulk inserts 2-4x slower) and posts the count over its message
port, flushed before every other worker message. The main-thread shared
connection is counted through a new connection observer in the shared
database library.
- The first main window freezes main.modulesRegisteredBeforeWindow at
creation and main.sqlStatementsBeforeReadyToShow at ready-to-show.
- The journey gate drops the ready-to-show that Electron emits for the
about:blank detour, so the app sees the real document's first paint,
and taps the counters handler; the J1 record reads both counters after
the renderer probe completes.

* test(database): require one SQL statement per exec during initialization
The performance capture counts one exec call as one statement, because
SQL cannot be split reliably in the counter (trigger bodies contain
semicolons). The historical-upgrade driver now wraps exec on every
connection initDatabase opens and fails on a batch, so that counting
assumption holds for the fresh profile and all historical schemas.
Documents the definition in the counter and the architecture docs.

* test(performance): count SQL statements only for the launch journey
Codex review: the M3U import, refresh-cancellation and Xtream benchmarks
also run with IPTVNATOR_PERF_CAPTURE=1, so the statement hook wrapped
every row of their bulk inserts and changed what they measure.
SQL counting now also needs IPTVNATOR_PERF_COUNT_SQL=1, which only the
launch journey sets; a harness test fails if another source sets it.
Startup phases, the window snapshot and the read handler stay on the
capture flag. Without SQL counting no ready-to-show listener is attached,
so a zero is never reported for statements nobody counted.

Registering IPC handlers costs 0.4 ms; evaluating the modules behind them (axios, drizzle-orm, better-sqlite3, electron-updater, fix-path) before the window could load was the real cost. main.ts now keeps only the pre-paint wiring and loads the rest as the deferred-events.js chunk inside the main window's did-start-loading listener, where the import and its registrations complete before any renderer invoke can arrive.
Interleaved A/B on the performance build: app.whenReady 323 -> 265 ms, did-finish-load 499 -> 447 ms; J1 journey spawnToDidFinishLoad ~405 -> ~365 ms with identical counters. Packaging ships the chunk explicitly, verify:package-layout requires it, and the benchmark build identity hashes it.

main.js is now a small entry that enables Node's on-disk V8 compile cache under userData/v8-compile-cache and then requires the application bundle main.app.js. Warm launches reach app.whenReady about 13 ms sooner at the median; IPTVNATOR_DISABLE_COMPILE_CACHE=1 turns it off and IPTVNATOR_COMPILE_CACHE_DIR relocates it.
Packaging now ships main.app.js explicitly and verify:package-layout requires the main-process entry files in app.asar, because nx-electron copies the backend through an allowlist. The Xtream benchmark build identity hashes both the launcher and the bundle.
