* feat(tmdb): opt-in TMDB metadata enrichment for Xtream and Stalker portals
Adds an opt-in TMDB integration (Settings > Metadata) that enriches
detail views with a field-level merge — the provider stays authoritative
for stream data, TMDB fills editorial fields when the match is confident.
Enrichment:
- Movie/series details: plot, cast (avatar chips), director, genres,
rating, poster/backdrop, official YouTube trailers
- Confidence-gated matching: provider tmdb_id trusted; otherwise
normalized-title search with year gate (±1; series accept earlier
premieres), season-suffix stripping, Cyrillic search-language override,
and language-prefix fallback variants
- Lazy season/episode enrichment: real episode names, overviews, stills
- "Similar" rail (Xtream): TMDB recommendations matched to the catalog
- Actor pages per portal with full filmography, availability filter and
an Electron-only "All portals" scope backed by a batched DB_MATCH_TITLES
worker op over the trigram FTS index
Infrastructure:
- SQLite cache table tmdb_metadata (details, search verdicts, seasons,
persons; per-language, TTL-guarded), in-memory fallback for the PWA
- Settings: enable toggle, own-API-key override with a live "check key"
button; TMDB attribution in Settings and About
- Embedded key stays an empty placeholder; CI injects TMDB_API_KEY via
tools/tmdb/inject-tmdb-key.mjs when the secret is configured
- normalizeTitle shared between renderer and DB worker
- CSP: allow YouTube embeds (frame-src was 'none'; trailers never worked)
Fixes and refactors along the way:
- fix(stalker): Advanced Search sent bare get_ordered_list requests and
skipped the auth handshake when isFullStalkerPortal was missing on the
active-playlist meta — full portals answered "Authorization failed."
and search looked empty; now mirrors the catalog request shape and
routes through makeAuthenticatedRequest with URL-based detection
- fix(stalker): TMDB fields survive info re-normalization; detail views
prefer the store copy patched by async enrichment over stale snapshots
- refactor(xtream): split oversized vod/serial detail components into
component-scoped playback services; detail routes re-initialize on
route param changes (router reuses them for detail-to-detail nav)
- i18n: all new keys translated across the 18 locales
Docs: docs/architecture/tmdb-metadata-enrichment.md + CLAUDE.md updates.

* fix(tmdb): provide route params observable to inline collection details, linearize regexes
The global-collection inline detail host builds a fake ActivatedRoute for
VodDetailsRouteComponent/SerialDetailsComponent with only snapshot.params.
Since the detail components now read route.params via toSignal() (detail->
detail re-init), the missing observable crashed component construction and
the content hero never rendered — broke dashboard-activation, favorites and
recent Electron E2E on all platforms. Provide the params observable
alongside the snapshot and assert it in the component spec.
Also resolves both CodeQL js/polynomial-redos alerts: bracket-stripping in
normalizeTitle now excludes opening delimiters inside the classes, and
youtubeEmbedUrl extracts watch?v= ids with a linear two-pass match instead
of "watch\?.*v=". Combining-diacritics range rewritten as explicit \u
escapes (greptile note).

* fix(tmdb): surface TMDB-only VOD score in the rating badge, drop youtube.com from CSP
Review follow-ups on PR #1123: the Xtream VOD detail badge renders
rating_imdb, but the merge wrote the TMDB score only into `rating`, so a
TMDB-only score was never displayed (Codex P2) — fill rating_imdb when the
provider left it empty, mirroring the Stalker merge. All trailer iframes
are normalized to youtube-nocookie.com, so the extra youtube.com frame-src
allowance was dead surface (greptile) — removed.

* fix(tmdb): resolve confirmed review findings — matching correctness, race guards, cache schema
Fixes the confirmed findings from the PR #1123 code review:
- Stalker search: setSelectedContentType now runs BEFORE setSelectedItem,
so the TMDB enrichment gate in the selection hook no longer sees the
content type of the previously open tab (wrong/no enrichment after
ITV -> search -> movie).
- Title normalization is now two-tier (normalizeTitleKeys): the exact
normalized form keeps a trailing year, the base form strips it and
remembers the tag. Year stripping is anchored to the end of the title
("2001: A Space Odyssey" keeps its year) and language-prefix stripping
is UPPERCASE-only ("It: Chapter Two" is no longer amputated).
- All catalog matching (similar rail, actor pages, DB worker
DB_MATCH_TITLES) compares exact forms first and only accepts
year-stripped matches when the stripped tag is year-compatible (+-1)
with the TMDB year — "Blade Runner" (1982) can no longer claim a
catalog "Blade Runner 2049". CatalogTitleMatch carries the stripped
trailingYear so the renderer can apply the guard to worker matches.
- mergedBackdrops tolerates a plain-string backdrop_path; enrichment
merge+patch blocks are wrapped in try/catch so a malformed provider
payload can no longer become an unhandled rejection.
- loadGlobalMatches (both actor routes) guards against actor->actor
navigation races — a slow match for the previous person no longer
overwrites the current one's results.
- tmdb_metadata media_type CHECK widened to ('movie','tv','person') and
person rows now use the honest 'person' type (TmdbCacheMediaType).
Pre-release dev DBs with the narrow CHECK are rebuilt in place — the
table is a pure cache, so the migration is a self-healing
drop-and-recreate keyed off sqlite_master.
Docs updated (tmdb-metadata-enrichment.md, CLAUDE.md). New regression
coverage: title-normalization.util.spec.ts, two-tier cases in
tmdb-similar.util.spec.ts and title-match.operations.spec.ts.

* feat(epg): add vertical list view for the live EPG panel
Add an EPG list view — a vertical, single-day programme list — as an
alternative rendering of the live EPG panel, selectable via a new
Settings → EPG → "Guide view" toggle (epgViewMode: 'timeline' | 'list',
default 'timeline' so existing users see no change).
- New EpgListViewComponent (app-epg-list-view) mirrors
EpgTimelineComponent's input/output contract 1:1, so all four live
hosts (M3U player, unified live tab, Xtream, Stalker) swap the panel
with a plain @if and identical bindings.
- Reuses the shared view-agnostic EPG modules (classifyTimelineWhen,
hasProgramsForDateKey, epg-archive.util catch-up gating,
epg-summary.util collapsed-summary maths, epg-date helpers,
EpgProgrammeDialogService, app-epg-timeline-empty-state) — no
duplicated logic.
- Rows show time range, title, optional description, live progress on
the on-air row, catch-up "Watch" on past rows when archive playback
is available, and a details dialog; keyboard activation guards
nested buttons (target === currentTarget).
- Auto-focuses the on-air row on channel select, restores it across
collapse/expand remounts, and shows a sticky in-flow "On now" strip
(never overlaying rows) when the current programme is scrolled away;
all scroll maths is rect-based relative to the scroller.
- List mode raises only the inline panel height via an epg--list
modifier (--epg-inline-height clamp); timeline and collapsed heights
are unchanged.
- Setting flows end-to-end (Settings interface → DEFAULT_SETTINGS →
SettingsStore/StorageMap → segmented control in the EPG section);
Electron-only UI, PWA stays on the timeline default. i18n keys added
to all 18 locales.
- Tests: new component/row/utils/scroll-controller specs, settings
persistence spec, swap tests in all four host specs, and Electron
E2E for the settings round-trip and the rendered list view. Docs
updated (m3u-playlist-module.md).

* fix(epg): address list-view review findings from Codex and Greptile
- Reset the list view to today when a new channel's programme set
arrives while the user is parked on another day (timeline parity):
the scroll controller now keys by the full programme-set identity
(programsFocusKey) and commits today before focusing, instead of
silently stranding the new channel on the stale day. (Codex P2)
- Centralise the 'timeline' fallback as a resolvedEpgViewMode computed
on SettingsStore; the four live hosts consume the derived signal
instead of duplicating the `?? 'timeline'` expression. (Greptile P2)
- Extract the component's reactive plumbing into
registerEpgListViewEffects(), bringing the component back under the
300-line guideline (290). (Greptile P2)
- Controller spec rewritten around programme-set fixtures with new
coverage: return-to-today on channel switch, day navigation left
alone, no-takeover when today has no data, empty-set no-op.

* fix(epg): drop malformed programmes from the list-view day filter
Reject programmes whose stop is not after their start in
buildEpgListRows — same as the timeline's buildTimelineBlocks. Bad
provider data would otherwise render impossible time ranges and could
even be offered as catch-up playable. (Codex P2 on e6fd0d08)

* fix(settings): show current release notes
* fix(updater): use app version for local release notes
* fix(settings): constrain release note images
* fix(settings): prefer current notes without updates
* feat(ui): add custom title bar window controls for Windows and Linux
Hide the native title bar on win32/linux (titleBarStyle: 'hidden', frame
untouched so native resize borders and snapping keep working) and render
minimize / maximize-restore / close buttons in the renderer, mirroring the
existing macOS traffic-light setup.
- New WINDOW:* IPC contract (minimize, toggle-maximize, close, get-state)
handled in window.events.ts, resolved from the sender WebContents;
close goes through win.close() so window-bounds persistence still runs.
- WINDOW:STATE_CHANGED pushed on maximize/unmaximize/fullscreen so the
maximize/restore glyph stays correct for OS-triggered changes; controls
hide while fullscreen.
- WindowControlsComponent mounts once in app-root as a manual popover so
it stays in the browser top layer above CDK overlays (dialogs,
multi-EPG) - same behavior as macOS traffic lights.
- Theme-aware via CSS vars (--app-on-surface, --app-hover-overlay);
Windows-red close hover. Drag regions get right padding through a
body-level frameless-platform class.
- Gated by RuntimeCapabilitiesService.usesCustomWindowControls; PWA and
macOS never mount the controls.
Includes unit specs for the component and IPC handlers, an Electron E2E
suite (window-controls.e2e.ts), and a window-chrome section in
docs/architecture/workspace-shell.md.

* feat(linux): upgrade Electron to 41 for frameless window decorations on Wayland
With the native title bar hidden, Linux windows lost the WM-drawn shadow
and rounded corners. Electron draws client-side decorations only on
native Wayland, and frameless-window CSD (GTK drop shadow + extended
resize boundaries) landed in Electron 41 - before that, frameless
windows render as plain rectangles.
- electron ^39.8.5 -> ^41.7.2 (Wayland auto-detected since 38.2; X11
sessions remain undecorated, matching other frameless Electron apps;
Windows keeps its DWM shadow and rounded corners).
- better-sqlite3 pinned to exactly 12.9.0: the last release shipping
prebuilt binaries for both Node 20 (ABI 115, Jest) and Electron 41
(ABI 145, runtime). 12.10.0 dropped the Node 20 prebuilds, forcing a
from-source build that fails without a C++ toolchain.
- pnpm override node-abi 3.85.0 -> 3.92.0 so electron-builder
install-app-deps can map Electron 41 to ABI 145.
Reviewed Electron 40/41 breaking changes: only the renderer clipboard
deprecation, which this app does not use.

* fix(e2e): address review feedback and window-managerless Linux CI
- Skip the three window-manager-dependent E2E assertions (maximize
toggle, main-process state sync, minimize) on Linux CI: GitHub's
ubuntu runners drive Electron under xvfb without a window manager, so
maximize/minimize state never materializes there. Windows CI and
local Linux/macOS runs keep the coverage.
- WINDOW:TOGGLE_MAXIMIZE now returns the requested state instead of
re-reading isMaximized() right after the call, which races on Linux
window managers where maximize()/unmaximize() complete
asynchronously; the WINDOW:STATE_CHANGED push stays authoritative.
- Skip attaching window-state push listeners on macOS, where the
custom controls never mount and the IPC traffic had no subscriber.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* fix(ui): gate custom window controls on the full bridge surface
Include getWindowState and onWindowStateChange in the
usesCustomWindowControls capability check — the controls rely on both
for initial state and for keeping the maximize/restore glyph in sync
with OS-triggered changes, so a partial bridge should not mount them.

## Summary
- Normalize Xtream recently-added timestamps across UI, import, and dashboard query paths.
- Filter future/invalid provider dates before ranking rails and migrate legacy millisecond cache rows.
- Add regression coverage for future timestamps, series date priority, and DB migration behavior.
## Validation
- GitHub checks passed, including Unit Tests and Typechecks, Web E2E, Electron E2E on macOS/Ubuntu/Windows, CodeQL, builds, and Greptile Review.
Live TV channels in Xtream playlists go blank whenever the provider's
get_short_epg returns nothing, even when the user has working XMLTV
URLs in Settings. The XMLTV pipeline already populates epg_programs
but only the M3U module was reading it.
Wire those uploads up as a fallback for Xtream too: when the provider
returns nothing for a channel with an epg_channel_id, look it up in
the local table. A settings toggle flips the priority for users whose
curated XMLTV is better than the provider's auto guide.
EpgQueueService.enqueue() became async to batch the XMLTV lookup once
per viewport change. To keep the queue consistent under fast scroll,
all shared-state mutations now happen behind a generation counter so
only the latest call commits. Per-method bridge gating in the new
XtreamXmltvFallbackService keeps each path working when the preload
exposes only one of the two endpoints.
Native addon (apps/electron-backend/native/src/embedded_mpv.mm)
- Extend SessionSnapshot with subtitleTracks, selectedSubtitleTrackId,
playbackSpeed, aspectOverride.
- Refactor track parsing into a shared updateTracksFromNode helper that
filters by mpv "type" so audio and subtitle tracks share the code path.
- Observe sid, speed, video-aspect-override; clear sub state on
MPV_EVENT_START_FILE.
- Export setSubtitleTrack (handles trackId === -1 as "no" to disable),
setSpeed (clamped to 0.25–4.0), setAspect (passthrough string for
video-aspect-override).
- Snapshot output now includes the new fields.
Service (embedded-mpv-native.service.ts) + IPC + preload
- Mirror methods on EmbeddedMpvNativeService with capability detection: each
method throws a descriptive error if the loaded addon doesn't expose the
underlying native function (i.e. user is running an older build).
- New IPC channels EMBEDDED_MPV_SET_SUBTITLE_TRACK, _SET_SPEED, _SET_ASPECT
registered in events file and exposed via preload.
- Extend EmbeddedMpvSupport with a capabilities probe so the renderer can
hide controls for features the current addon build doesn't ship.
Renderer (embedded-mpv-player.component.{ts,html})
- Three new popovers anchored above their buttons (subtitle / speed /
aspect), gated by capabilities() and (for subtitles) by track count.
- Subtitle popover includes an Off entry; speed/aspect use fixed presets.
- Error state now surfaces the same overlay as the stalled state, with a
Retry button that bumps the existing retryNonce signal — covers #8 from
the audit.
- All session-payload defaults (loading stub, error stub, refresh fallback,
dispose payload, native createSession default) updated for the new
required fields.
NOTE: Existing addon binaries do not expose the new methods. Until the
addon is rebuilt (pnpm run serve:backend:embedded-mpv or the release
build script), capabilities will report subtitles/playbackSpeed/
aspectOverride as false and the new buttons will simply not appear.

Entire-Checkpoint: f957cd9849e0
VLC was unconditionally spawned per click — VLC's own single-instance
preference fails because the per-launch RC args defeat its D-Bus
forwarder. Mirror the existing MPV reuse pattern so users can opt in to
driving one tracked VLC via its RC interface (clear + add) instead of
opening a new window every stream.
