The Add Playlist dialog used a nested control: pick category
(M3U / Xtream / Stalker) then pick subtype (URL / file / text). That's
9 cells of which only 5 are real — Xtream-via-file and Stalker-via-text
don't exist. Users spent visible time hunting the right path through
the matrix.
Replace it with a flat 5-card method grid that matches the v0.22 mockup
exactly: each card IS a method (M3U URL, M3U file, Xtream credentials,
Stalker portal, Paste raw m3u text), shown side by side with an icon,
label, and one-line description of when to pick it.
Component state collapses from `category` + `m3uSubType` (two signals
with an entangled `playlistType()` mapping) into a single `method`
signal of type PlaylistType. `initFromType` simplifies to one line.
`playlistType()` is kept as a thin alias so the template @switch and
the action-button branches stay untouched.
The selected card is the only place that needs to change for users to
pick a different method — no more "first click type, then click
subtype, then look for the form" two-step.
i18n: 6 new HOME.ADD_PLAYLIST.* keys (subtitle + 5 method subs)
translated across all 17 locales by per-locale agents, with the
existing HOME.TABS.* keys reused for card titles. Placeholder
integrity verified.
Tests: existing clearCurrentForm scenarios still pass after the signal
refactor; added 6 new tests covering the default method (URL) and the
MAT_DIALOG_DATA.type deep-link path for each of the 5 method values.

Swap M3 primary palette from violet to azure so checkboxes, radio
buttons, raised CTAs, and active states read as the same blue used by
the rail selection token. Cascading template + SCSS updates align the
remaining hand-rolled surfaces (Add Playlist dialog, VOD play button,
radio player, multi-EPG, empty-state CTAs) with the unified system.
LIVE stays red (broadcast role), cyan stays on EPG "now" indicator,
green stays on completed-download — semantic colors keep their meaning;
only the indiscriminate accent uses get folded into the blue primary.

PortalStatusService previously did one IPC + HTTPS round-trip per call,
forcing every consumer to roll its own cache (or, more often, not).
The result: opening the homepage rendered N playlist-item components
that each fired their own check, then opening the playlist switcher
fired N more for the same portals.
Move the cache and dedup into the service:
- 30 s TTL cache keyed by `${serverUrl}|${username}|${password}`. Same
credentials = same cache entry, regardless of which playlist row
triggered it.
- In-flight dedup via Map<key, Promise<PortalStatus>>. Two callers
hitting the same portal in the same tick share one network request
instead of racing.
- New `getCachedStatus()` for sync read (used by playlist-switcher to
hydrate the UI on menu open without awaiting).
- New `clearStatusCache()` for log-out / debug flows.
Add `{ skipCache: true }` opt-out for the Xtream import dialog's
"Test Connection" button — that's a user-initiated check that must
return fresh truth, not a 30 s old cached result.
Net result: in the common flow (homepage → switcher), the switcher
opens with cached status indicators instantly. The single in-flight
dedup prevents the playlist-item ngOnInit + switcher onMenuOpened from
racing for the same portal.
Removed the component-local cache from playlist-switcher; service is
now the single source of truth.
