4gray 2d7811eb5f feat(portals): add "View in portal" action to inline collection details (#1422) 2026-08-13 07:30:57 +02:00
4grayandClaude Fable 5 5b211faf73 feat(remote-control): cover live collections, honest volume, status resets (#1399)
* feat(remote-control): cover live collections, honest volume, status resets

Remote control previously worked only on the three routed live layouts
(M3U player, Xtream live, Stalker ITV); playing live TV from favorites,
recently viewed, or the global collections left the mobile remote inert.

- Wire channel up/down, number select, and status publishing into the
  unified live tab, covering per-portal and global favorites/recent for
  M3U, Xtream, and Stalker; navigation follows the search-filtered,
  sorted list exactly as rendered (shared deriveVisibleFavoriteChannels)
- Treat non-live status updates as snapshots in the main process so
  stale now-playing fields are cleared instead of merged forever
- Publish a reset snapshot from every integration on destroy, so
  leaving a live view clears the remote instead of freezing it
- Report M3U supportsVolume only for built-in inline playback and no-op
  volume commands while MPV/VLC/Embedded MPV owns the audio
- Publish live status for Stalker radio (same layout, same handlers)
  and fix its channel-number lookup for non-numeric radio ids

* fix(remote-control): review-loop hardening for status honesty

- Make the non-live status update an authoritative reset in the main
  process: only portal survives, supportsVolume is forced false, stray
  now-playing fields from callers are dropped (Copilot review)
- Stop Stalker radio status from leaking an unrelated TV channel's EPG:
  the ITV-keyed bulk cache survives itv->radio navigation and Ministra
  ids collide across the two lists, so EPG fields publish for itv only
- Publish the reset snapshot when the M3U active channel clears in
  place (e.g. quitting external MPV), not only on route destroy
- Consider a live external session in the M3U volume gate: a
  diagnostic-recovery MPV/VLC launch owns the audio even while a web
  player is configured; republish capability on session start/end
- Share one REMOTE_CONTROL_RESET_STATUS constant across all four
  integrations instead of four hand-copied literals

* fix(remote-control): external session outranks DASH in M3U volume gate

The managed clear-DASH MPV/VLC fallback (Shaka browser-support preflight
failure) leaves activeChannelIsDash() true while the external session
owns the audio, so the DASH shortcut bypassed the session check and kept
advertising remote volume support. The live-session check now precedes
the DASH branch; radio stays first because its inline audio element is
always mounted and remains audible.

4grayandClaude Fable 5 e5bb127ede fix(playback): make playback keyboard shortcuts work without shared controls (#1398)
* fix(playback): make playback keyboard shortcuts work without shared controls

With the default configuration (Video.js, webPlayerSharedControls off) the
playback shortcuts advertised in the in-app help and README — Space/K, F,
arrow seek/volume, M — silently did nothing: ControlsShortcuts only exists
inside app-player-controls, which never renders on the preference-off path.

Attach a LegacyPlayerShortcuts wrapper (same arbitration and ignore rules)
in the vendor-chrome HTML5, Video.js, and ArtPlayer players, forwarding the
commands to each engine's own API. Seek stays gated on authoritative VOD
metadata plus a finite positive duration, and a visible playback diagnostic
disables the keys. The legacy ArtPlayer chrome now passes hotkey:false —
its focus-scoped vendor hotkeys ignore defaultPrevented and would
double-handle every key — with its Escape-exits-web-fullscreen behavior
restored by the new wiring.

The playback entries in the in-app shortcut help and README drop their
embedded-MPV-only qualifier, since the keys now work in every runtime.

* fix(playback): restore audible volume when M unmutes at zero volume

Addresses the Codex review finding on #1398: after arrowing the volume
down to zero (which mutes), M flipped muted off while leaving the volume
at 0, so the player looked unmuted but stayed silent — in all three
legacy engine adapters.

Mirror the shared controls' ControlsVolume semantics with a per-adapter
LegacyMuteMemory: muting remembers the audible volume, and unmuting while
the volume sits at zero restores it, with the same 0.5 fallback when
nothing was remembered.

4grayandClaude Fable 5 cf74f7e4a0 feat(stalker): append portal pages on scroll and drop pagination everywhere (2/2) (#1395)
* feat(stalker): append portal pages on scroll and drop pagination everywhere

Second and final PR of the pagination removal (plan:
.plans/2026-08-09-infinite-scroll-catalog.md). Stalker VOD/series grids now
feed the shared infinite-scroll contract from server-paged appends: portal
pages (server-side size, typically 14) accumulate into one deduplicated
paginatedContent list, page 1 replaces it for the skeleton, hasMoreContent
derives from accumulated length vs total_items (portals that ignore
requested page sizes still terminate), and a failed page > 1 keeps the
accumulated pages on screen with a tail retry (retryContentPage reloads the
same page; loadMore refuses to skip past an unresolved append error). The
facade splits the resource's loading flag by page — skeleton for page one,
tail spinner for appends — and keeps per-identity scroll offsets for
Stalker's INLINE detail round trips; the shared view re-arms its one-shot
restore when a detail opens in the same component instance.

The transitional supportsInfiniteScroll flag and every paged member are
deleted from PortalCatalogFacade; the shared catalog view loses the
mat-paginator, the ?page= round-trip, and the paged query-param branch. The
ITV all-channels grid becomes a client-side render window over the cached
full list (the app's last paginator), and Stalker search pages past its
first capped request via the layout's nearEnd, with a progress guard for
portals that report no usable total.

Validation: 1600 unit tests across 7 projects green (new: vod/series
append + failed-append retry, facade loading split/loadMore guards/scroll
snapshots, ITV window model, compat selector update); catalog-sorting e2e
5/5 (Stalker spec rewritten to scroll model with p>=2 network asserts and
an inline-detail spot-restore round trip; one unrelated nav-timeout flake
reproduced only under parallel machine load), search e2e 16/16, web
stalker e2e green (all-channels grid asserts the windowed count instead of
a paginator range label); lint clean; release note added and validated;
stalker-portal.md, CLAUDE.md, and ui-guidelines updated.

* fix(stalker): reset paging on content-type switch and never skip failed search pages

Round-1 review findings on #1395:

1. Codex P1: switching /vod -> /series with the same category id ('*' on
   both section roots) left page > 1 in place — setSelectedContentType did
   not touch paging and setSelectedCategory('*') no-ops on an unchanged id
   — so the new type's FIRST response was treated as an append onto the
   old type's accumulated list. The type setter now resets the page (and
   no-ops entirely when the type repeats, keeping detail round-trip
   restores intact).

2. Greptile P1 + Codex P2: a failed search append left searchHasMore true,
   so the next near-end advanced to page N+1 and permanently omitted the
   failed page. The search now tracks searchAppendError: a failed append
   keeps the accumulated pages and the next near-end RETRIES the same
   page; a failed fresh search (page 1) clears the previous query's cards
   instead of rendering them under the new term (Codex P2).

The page-merge/failure logic moved into applySearchPageSuccess/Failure
methods: Angular resource() never re-fires on params changes in this
repo's template-less jest harnesses (store-hosted resources do), so the
extracted methods carry the unit coverage — accumulation + dedupe,
no-total progress guard, retry-not-skip, fresh-failure clear — plus a
selection spec for the type-switch page reset. portal-stalker-feature
260, portal-stalker-data-access 464, lint clean; catalog-sorting e2e 5/5
and web stalker e2e green. search.e2e shows machine-load nav-timeout
flakes on unrelated M3U/live specs (a runaway third-party process pegs
the host CPU); CI provides the clean independent run.

* fix(stalker): include the portal in the search paging identity

Round-2 Codex P1 on #1395: Angular reuses the search route across
/stalker/A/search -> /stalker/B/search, and the paging identity covered
only term + filter — the page number and accumulator survived the portal
change, so the next near-end fetched portal B at the OLD page number and
appended it onto portal A's results while skipping B's first page.

The active playlist id now joins the page-reset identity, the resource
params, the stale-response guard, and the layout's near-end reset key.
Regression spec: switching the active playlist on a reused route resets
the page to 1 and rotates the scroll reset key.

* fix(stalker): end paging on no-progress appends even with a reported total

Round-3 Codex P2s on #1395 (same defect in both accumulators): the
no-progress guard only applied when the portal reported no usable
total_items. After a mid-list portal mutation, deduplication can leave
the unique list permanently shorter than the claimed total — hasMore then
stayed true forever and every scroll crossing kept requesting pages past
the end of the data.

An append that adds no unique items now ends paging in both places: the
catalog clamps totalCount to the accumulated length (hasMoreContent turns
false and the count badge reflects what is actually reachable), and the
search requires append progress in the total-backed branch exactly like
the no-total branch. Regression specs cover a duplicate page under a
larger claimed total for both. portal-stalker-data-access 465,
portal-stalker-feature 262, lint clean.

* fix(stalker): explicit search retry control and per-portal scroll identities

Round-4 findings on #1395:

1. Greptile P1: with the results pane parked at the bottom, repeated
   append failures exhausted the scroll auto-fill budget while the
   near-end latch stayed armed — the retry path was reachable only
   through another nearEnd event that could never fire. The search page
   now renders an explicit retry control under the results whenever an
   append has failed (same wording as the catalog grid tail), wired to
   the existing retry-same-page path, so recovery never depends on
   producing another scroll event.

2. Codex P2: the facade's saved-scroll map survives a same-config portal
   switch (the vod/series route provider is reused across /stalker/A ->
   /stalker/B), and its identity lacked the playlist — portal A's offset
   could restore onto portal B's unrelated catalog. The playlist id now
   leads the scroll identity; regression spec covers the cross-portal
   non-restore and the return restore.

* fix(stalker): restore the search results scroll after an inline detail

Round-5 Codex P2 on #1395: the search layout destroys the results
container while an inline detail is shown (showDetails) and recreates it
at offset zero — with the new multi-page accumulation a user could load
several pages, open a result far down the list, and land back at the top
on close even though the accumulated results survived.

SearchLayoutComponent now exposes a scroll handoff for hosts whose
details replace the results (getResultsScrollTop /
restoreResultsScrollTop on the container it owns), and the Stalker search
captures the offset when a detail opens and restores it one-shot after
the container is recreated on close. Regression specs cover the layout
handoff methods and the capture/restore round trip.

* fix(stalker): clear accumulated search results for unsearchable portals

Round-6 Codex P2 on #1395: the loader's early returns (deleted or
malformed playlist on a reused route) predate the accumulator and
returned [] without touching it — the previous portal's cards kept
rendering under the new context once loading settled.

Every no-portal early return now goes through resetSearchAccumulator(),
which empties the accumulated list and both paging flags; the short-term
path uses it too (and now also clears a stale append error). Regression
spec covers the full reset. portal-stalker-feature 265, lint clean.

4grayandClaude Fable 5 8442747c37 feat(xtream): replace catalog pagination with infinite scroll (1/2) (#1392)
* feat(xtream): replace catalog pagination with infinite scroll

Xtream movie/series/live catalogs now load continuously while scrolling
instead of paging. The selection store keeps a growing visibleCount render
window over the in-memory catalog (initial 50, +50 per load) plus a saved
scroll state, so opening a title and going back restores the exact spot. A
shared InfiniteScrollDirective (portal/shared/ui) fires loadMore near the
bottom (edge-triggered, mirroring search-layout) and auto-fills viewports
taller than the initial window by measuring container overflow — capped at
10 self-initiated loads per list identity, with a ResizeObserver re-check.

The shared CategoryContentViewComponent branches on the transitional
PortalCatalogFacade.supportsInfiniteScroll flag: Xtream scrolls, Stalker
keeps its server-driven paginator and ?page= round-trip untouched until its
append lands (PR 2), after which the paged facade members and the flag are
deleted. grid-list loses its dead built-in paginator and gains tail states
(append spinner, retry-on-error) plus content-visibility on cards. The
in-portal search results reuse the search layout's nearEnd hook to window
their full result set instead of rendering it unbounded.

Validation: portal-xtream-data-access (234), portal-xtream-feature (357),
portal-catalog-feature (22), portal-shared-ui (77, incl. new directive
spec), portal-stalker-* (253) unit tests green; catalog-sorting e2e 5/5

scenario, Stalker paged spec unchanged); search e2e 16/16; lint green;

* fix(xtream): auto-fill search results and refresh the near-end latch

Review findings from #1392: the in-portal search window could stall at its
first 60-item chunk when the rendered cards did not overflow the container
— nearEnd only fired on real scroll events (Greptile P1), the search
layout's edge latch survived a result-set replacement (Codex), and the
shared directive's latch went stale after appended content moved the
bottom out of the threshold (Codex).

The search layout now drives its results container through the shared
InfiniteScrollDirective instead of a bespoke scroll handler: the measured
auto-fill reveals further chunks on tall viewports without any scroll, the
reset key (search term) and item-count changes refresh the latch, and new
nearEndHasMore/nearEndAppending inputs let consumers gate emissions.
Xtream search wires them for both modes — this also fixes the same latent
tall-viewport stall in the global search's 100-item pages — and the
Stalker search page (single capped request until PR 2) sets hasMore=false.
The directive's fill check now refreshes the latch from the measured
state, so an End-key jump straight to the new bottom is a genuine crossing
again.

New coverage: directive stale-latch regression, search-layout auto-fill +
hasMore gating, in-portal window reveal/reset in search-results. Reruns:
portal-shared-ui 80, portal-xtream-feature 357, portal-stalker-feature
green; search e2e 16/16 (fresh Playwright report verified); lint clean.

* fix(xtream): re-measure search auto-fill on the rendered window, not the total

Round-2 review finding on #1392 (Greptile P1 + Codex P2, same defect): the
search layout bound the constant result-set total to the infinite-scroll
directive's item count, so once the in-portal window grew 60 -> 120 no
tracked input changed, no further overflow check was scheduled, and
results beyond 120 stayed unreachable on tall viewports.

The layout now takes an explicit nearEndRenderedCount (falling back to
resultsCount for consumers that render everything they report) and feeds
THAT to the directive. Xtream search passes the windowed slice length for
in-portal mode and the loaded-set length for global mode. Regression
specs: layout re-measures when the rendered window grows while the total
stays constant; the component exposes the rendered count following the
window. portal-shared-ui 81, portal-xtream-feature 357, lint clean.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(xtream): include filter state in the search reset identity

Round-3 Codex P2 on #1392: the near-end latch and auto-fill budget were
keyed on the search term alone, so a filter-only transition (type filters
or the hidden-categories toggle) replaced the result set without resetting
them — a jump straight back into the threshold could be swallowed. The
search layout now accepts an explicit nearEndResetKey (defaulting to the
term); Xtream search supplies term + type filters + excludeHidden.
Regression specs: layout latch resets on an identity change without a new
term; the component identity changes on filter-only and hidden-toggle
transitions. portal-shared-ui 82, portal-xtream-feature 358, lint clean.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(xtream): refuse global-search appends while an edited query debounces

Round-4 Codex P2 on #1392: after the reset-identity change, the layout's
auto-fill can request more results inside the 300ms search debounce. The
append then ran with the freshly edited term but the old result count as
offset, interleaving a page of the new query into the old query's visible
results until the offset-zero search landed.

An append now only continues the LAST EXECUTED search: the append guard
additionally requires the effective term to equal lastGlobalSearchTerm,
so pagination stays suppressed from the first keystroke until the fresh
search replaces the result set. Regression spec covers the mid-debounce
refusal; the two existing append specs state their precondition
explicitly. portal-xtream-feature 359, lint clean.

* fix(xtream): per-selection scroll snapshots and progress-based auto-fill stop

Round-5 Codex P2s on #1392:

1. The single saved-scroll slot lost the first tab's position on a
   VOD -> Series -> VOD round trip — the series view's destroy hook
   overwrote it with series coordinates. Snapshots are now kept per
   selection identity (bounded to the 8 most recent), so a detour's save
   can never destroy another list's spot. Store API is unchanged.

2. The fixed 10-load auto-fill budget could strand items on a viewport
   large enough that ten chunks still do not overflow — with no
   scrollbar, no real scroll event can ever fire. The auto-fill now
   terminates on lack of progress instead: loads continue while they
   grow scrollHeight (until genuine overflow hands off to scroll
   events) and stop after three consecutive loads without growth, which
   only a source that reports more but renders nothing can produce.

Regression specs: VOD/Series round trip keeps both snapshots; growth
keeps filling past the old cap and stops at overflow; no-growth stalls
stop at three; reset key clears the stall guard. portal-shared-ui 83,
portal-xtream-data-access 235, catalog-sorting e2e 5/5 re-run, lint
clean. CLAUDE.md wording updated.

4grayandClaude Fable 5 d5f84fb130 feat(xtream): catch-up badge for live channels with archive (#1341)
* feat(xtream): show a catch-up badge on live channels that have archive

Live channels whose provider declares playable catch-up (tv_archive=1
with a positive tv_archive_duration) now show a small history badge in
the channel sidebar next to the name and on the all-channels grid cards,
with the archive window (days) in the tooltip.

Closes #1128

Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(xtream): expose the catch-up badge status to assistive technology

The mat-icon is aria-hidden and the tooltip is pointer-only, so the
badge status was invisible to keyboard and screen-reader users. Both
badge surfaces now also render the translated status as visually-hidden
text (Codex review, P2).

Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat(xtream): show the catch-up badge in favorites and recent lists

Carries tvArchive/tvArchiveDuration through UnifiedFavoriteChannel so
the shared favorites list (portal favorites/recent tabs and global
favorites) renders the same catch-up badge as the live sidebar.
Requested in PR feedback by the issue author.

* feat(ui): show the programme-info button in portal sidebars, stacked vertically

Adds the (i) programme-info button to the Xtream and Stalker live
sidebars and reworks the row action column: buttons stack vertically
(favorite on top, info below), so the second button costs no horizontal
space — the column is actually narrower than the previous single-button
row. The info slot is reserved (inert, visibility:hidden) while the row
has no programme, so the star never shifts when EPG data arrives.
Requested by the issue author in PR feedback.

* test(ui): move the archive passthrough spec out of the budget-capped file

CI lints the merge with master, where unified-live-tab.component.spec.ts
grew (#1374) to one line under the 1200 max-lines test budget — the
archive passthrough test added here tipped the merged result over. The
test moves to a focused template-less spec (plus a null-normalisation
case), leaving the main spec at master's size.

* fix(ui): constrain Material touch targets to the stacked button bounds

mat-icon-button keeps a 48px touch target; stacked 28px buttons
overlapped by 20px and the later sibling (programme info) stole clicks
from the lower third of the favorite star. Verified via
document.elementFromPoint before/after: the star's visual bounds now hit
the star, and clicks left of the column reach the row again instead of
the button's oversized target (Codex review).

4grayandClaude Fable 5 1a6af75761 feat(settings): per-section pages with unsaved-changes bar (#1384)
* feat(settings): split settings into per-section pages with an unsaved-changes bar

Replace the single scrolling settings page with routed section pages
(/workspace/settings/:section): the context-panel rail links each section,
only the active section renders, and unknown or capability-gated sections
redirect to General. The shared form lives on the parent component, so
staged edits survive section switches; a floating unsaved-changes bar
(Save/Discard) replaces the always-visible footer Save button. Rail links
navigate with replaceUrl so Back still leaves settings in one step.

Along the way:
- delete the unreachable settings dialog mode and the dead
  AppPortalNavigationActionsService with both of its never-injected DI
  tokens (PORTAL_NAVIGATION_ACTIONS, PLAYLIST_PLAYER_ACTIONS)
- delete the scroll-spy directive and pendingScrollTarget plumbing
- revive the EPG panel's "Open EPG settings" empty-state button as a deep
  link to /workspace/settings/epg; the M3U player now reports
  m3u-needs-setup only when the channel has no programmes and no EPG
  source exists in settings or on the playlist itself
- load TMDB cache stats when the Metadata page opens (the section
  component now only exists while its page is open)
- add SETTINGS.UNSAVED_CHANGES / SETTINGS.DISCARD_CHANGES to all 19 locales

Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat(settings): confirm before leaving with unsaved changes

Add settingsUnsavedChangesGuard (canDeactivate on the :section route) with
a three-action dialog: save and leave, leave without saving, keep editing.
The guard only intercepts leaving the settings AREA — section switches
share the one settings form and pass unconditionally, so the dialog can
never nag while moving between pages. A failed save cancels the navigation
instead of silently dropping the edits it promised to keep; leaving
without saving also reverts the live theme preview. Save-and-leave is
disabled while the form is invalid, with a hint explaining why.

New SETTINGS.UNSAVED_DIALOG_* keys in all 19 locales.

* fix(settings): stage cover size and EPG view mode; adapt e2e to section pages

Cover size and EPG view mode were the only two controls that persisted
eagerly on click, which made Discard (and leave-without-saving) unable to
revert them: hydrateFromStore() faithfully reloaded the just-persisted
edit. They now stage in the form like every other setting and reach the
store on Save. Review finding by Greptile (P1) and Codex.

E2E suites that walk through settings are updated for one-section-page
rendering (epg, backup-roundtrip, xtream-epg, remote-control) and for the
staged cover size (downloads asserts the dataset after Save); the EPG icon
fallback test saves before leaving settings so the new unsaved-changes
dialog does not block its navigation.

4grayandClaude Opus 5 e197409b10 fix(stalker): only mint a temporary link when the row asks for one (#1364)
* fix(stalker): only mint a temporary link when the row asks for one

`create_link` ran on every Stalker playback. The reference client — the
portal's own `player.js`, mirrored by Kodi's pvr.stalker — mints a link
only when the catalog row sets `use_http_tmp_link` or `use_load_balancing`;
otherwise it plays the static `cmd` that `get_all_channels` /
`get_ordered_list` already returned. Neither flag was read anywhere in the
codebase, so every channel paid a round trip and gained a failure point the
reference client does not have.

One helper now owns the decision (`resolveStalkerStaticPlaybackUrl`), used
by `fetchStalkerPlaybackLink()` for ITV/VOD/radio, by the download path,
and by `StreamResolverService` for Favorites/Recently Viewed. Its guards
are deliberately wider than the flags alone and can only route a row back
onto the `create_link` path: no row to read flags from, a relative or
query-only command (the VOD `has_files` rewrite), a non-HTTP scheme, or a
loopback host. An episode always mints, since `series` selects it
server-side. Radio joins the same decision, so a station the portal proxies
now gets its link instead of playing a URL the portal never meant to serve.

Temporary links live ~5 s, so the audit that came with this: favorites and
recently-viewed persist the `cmd`, playback positions store ids, and the
main-process context map stores headers keyed by origin+path — none replay
a resolved URL. Downloads are the documented exception, and honouring the
flags shrinks even that, since an unflagged movie now yields a permanent
URL that survives retry.

`forced_storage` and `play_token` stay unwired, with the reasoning recorded
in the docs rather than left ambiguous.

The mock's ITV/radio rows now carry both flags, and the new
`static-channel-cmd` scenario (MAC 00:1A:79:00:00:0A) serves unflagged rows
with a playable command so the e2e can assert that NO `create_link` request

* fix(stalker): keep temporary-link flags across VOD normalization

Codex P1 on #1364, and it is real. `buildStalkerSelectedVodItem()` narrows a
raw portal row to an explicit whitelist, and the two flags were not on it.
It feeds both `selectedItem()` — which the VOD playback path reads as
`linkFlags` — and, through `createStalkerVodItem`, the download payload. So a
flagged VOD row with an absolute HTTP `cmd` arrived looking unflagged and took
the static path, playing the portal's non-final URL instead of minting a link.

The direction of the failure is what makes it a P1: a dropped flag reads as
"no temporary link needed", so the whitelist fails OPEN. Both flags now sit on
`StalkerVodSource` / `StalkerSelectedVodItem` and on the whitelist, with the
consequence spelled out at the normalizer so the next edit does not quietly
undo it, and specs pinning all three normalizers plus a store-level test that
a flagged VOD still mints.

Also two things from re-reading my own diff:
- The radio path called `resolveStalkerStaticPlaybackUrl` and then handed the
  same row to `fetchStalkerPlaybackLink`, which runs that exact check again.
  Two copies of one decision is the divergence this PR exists to remove, so
  the outer call and its now-unreachable guard are gone.
- `portal-catalog-facade.ts` spells the flag shape out instead of importing
  `StalkerLinkFlagSource`; it now says why (`type:util`/`domain:portal-shared`
  may not depend on `type:data-access`/`domain:stalker`), so the obvious
  "reuse the type" cleanup does not get made and break the boundary lint.

* fix(stalker): authenticate before serving a static collection stream

Second Codex P1 on #1364, and a regression this PR introduced. `create_link`
was also the request that warmed the portal session. Tokens live in memory
only (`StalkerSessionService.tokenCache` is a plain Map), and the collection
header builder reads the raw `getCachedToken()`. So a cold start from global
Favorites or Recently Viewed — the portal never opened this session — took the
static path, found no token, and handed a same-host gated stream headers with
no `Authorization`: a 403 on exactly the streams the header contract exists
for. The same raw accessor cannot tell a token negotiated for a pre-edit
identity from a current one.

`StreamResolverService` now calls `ensureToken()` before building a static
playback. It is the right primitive: handshake + `get_profile` with no link
minted, identity fingerprint validated, concurrent callers deduped, and an
immediate null for simple portals — and calling it keeps this change out of
`stalker-session.service.ts`, which PR 6 (#1354) is splitting.

Best-effort by design: a static URL may point at a CDN that needs no
credentials, so a failed handshake degrades to the token-less header set
instead of costing the user their playback. Both halves are pinned by tests,
and removing the call makes the cold-start test fail.

The portal routes need no equivalent and do not get one: an item cannot be
selected before its catalog has loaded, and every catalog load authenticates.
That reasoning is now written down rather than assumed.

* fix(stalker): warm the session at the choke point; keep downloads authenticated

Two more Codex findings on #1364, and the first one shows my previous commit
message reasoned too broadly.

P1 — I claimed the portal routes are "structurally warm" because an item
cannot be selected before its catalog loads. That is true of the routed portal
views, but not of the global collection detail, which calls
`setCurrentPlaylist()` and `setSelectedItem()` straight from a persisted row
with no catalog load in between and then goes through the STORE playback path.
A VOD opened from Favorites on a cold start therefore still played a same-host
gated stream with no Bearer token.

Rather than extend the per-route argument, the warm-up moved to the one place
every static return passes through: `fetchStalkerPlaybackLink()` now calls the
session before short-circuiting, covering ITV, VOD, radio and downloads at
once. `StreamResolverService` keeps its own call — its static branch does not
go through that function — but both now share a single primitive,
`ensureStalkerSession()` in `stalker-request.utils.ts`, so the two routes
cannot drift on when a session is required. Still best-effort, still outside
`stalker-session.service.ts` (PR 6 territory).

P2 — downloads cannot use that escape hatch at all: the main-process stored
header allowlist is User-Agent/Origin/Referer only, no Cookie or
Authorization, so a static same-host URL 401s where a minted one worked.
`startStalkerVodDownload` now classifies the candidate with the shared
`isStalkerStreamCredentialSafe()` and withholds the row — forcing
`create_link` — for anything portal-owned. A CDN-hosted movie keeps the
permanent URL that survives retry; a portal-hosted one keeps the minted URL
that carries its own token.

Both fixes mutation-checked: each reverted change fails exactly one test.
Docs corrected, including the overreaching "structurally warm" claim.

* docs(stalker): record the cached-token revalidation trade-off

Codex flagged that the static path no longer self-heals a retired token, since
`ensureToken` returns a same-identity cache entry without a network call —
whereas `create_link` used to refresh it through `makeAuthenticatedRequest`'s
auth-failure retry.

The mechanism it posits does not exist on stock Stalker: per the 4.9.35
reference, handshake tokens have no TTL, and not sending the watchdog does not
invalidate auth (it only clears the admin panel's "online" flag). The real
residual vector is another device calling `get_profile` on the same MAC, which
is common enough on shared subscriptions to be worth naming.

Revalidating on every static playback would cost exactly the round trip this
change removes, so it is deliberately not done. Recorded as a known trade-off
with its mitigation (a running watchdog still self-heals within a ping cycle)
and handed to PR 6, where a refresh on an OBSERVED playback authorization
failure belongs.

* docs(stalker): tighten the token-revalidation trade-off wording

Greptile review feedback: the watchdog mitigation was the most important part
of that paragraph and sat behind the caveat. It now follows the MAC-sharing
vector directly, and the paragraph ends by naming what is actually left
uncovered — a same-host static stream played while no watchdog is up — so a
future reader can size the residual without re-deriving it.

* fix(stalker): prefer the live playlist row over a stale favorite snapshot

Codex P1 on #1364, and mine. `resolveStalker` reads its portal coordinates as
`item.stalkerPortalUrl ?? playlist?.portalUrl` — item first. The create_link
branch quietly corrected for that afterwards by re-reading
`applyOverride(playlist).portalUrl`, so the row won wherever it existed, which
is what the comment right above it already promised: "when the row exists it
wins over the item's snapshot of the portal URL (a repaired endpoint must beat
a stale favorite)". The static branch I added returns before that correction,
so it shipped the stale snapshot.

Consequences after a playlist edit: a same-host static URL matching the OLD
host gets the newly negotiated token and identity headers sent to the previous
portal, and a MAC-only edit pairs the new token with the old MAC cookie —
precisely the pairing `stalkerIdentityFingerprint` exists to prevent.

Both branches now derive the coordinates once, row-first with the repair
override applied, and fall back to the item's snapshot only for a playlist
that no longer exists — which is the role `buildStalkerPlayback` already
documents for it. Mutation-checked: restoring item-first precedence fails the
new test alone.

Also documents a local-only e2e hazard found while re-running the suite:
`mode: 'serial'` orders tests within one project, but chromium/firefox/webkit
run the file concurrently against the same mock server, so one project's
beforeEach reset can drop a session another is mid-test on — which is what a
lone auth-spec failure that passes on rerun actually is. CI never sees it; the
Web E2E job runs --project=chromium alone, and that command is clean (22/22).

* fix(stalker): warm the session against the repaired portal configuration

Found while auditing my own static branch against the create_link path rather
than waiting for the next review round.

`executeStalkerRequest` applies the lazy-repair override on its first line, so
the create_link path always talks to the configuration a completed repair
proved good. The session warm-up I added did not: it handed `ensureToken` the
caller's pre-repair row, so a portal whose endpoint or mode had been repaired
would handshake against the configuration the repair had already rejected —
stranding the session precisely on the portals repair exists to rescue.

The override now happens inside `ensureStalkerSession`, mirroring
`executeStalkerRequest`'s first line, so every caller inherits the rule instead
of each having to remember it. Mutation-checked: dropping the override fails
the new test alone.

* fix(stalker): fall back to create_link when a portal-owned static url has no session

Codex P1 on #1364. `create_link` was also the request that could FAIL, and a
failure is what triggers the lazy portal repair. A playlist still misclassified
as token-free, or pointing at an unrepaired endpoint, used to self-heal on that
failure and then play; the static path issues no request, so nothing fires and
the stream just 401s.

Its suggested remedy — routing a skipped warm-up through `repairPortal()` —
cannot be taken literally: a skipped warm-up is the NORMAL case for the many
legitimately token-free reseller panels, and probing each of them on every
playback would cost far more than the round trip this PR removes.

What is decidable without a request is whether we are about to serve a stream
we already know will fail. `ensureStalkerSession` now reports whether the
session can serve credentialed playback — true for a portal needing no token
and for one holding a usable token, false for a full portal left without one —
and both static call sites act on it:

- foreign-host URL: served regardless, it never needed the session;
- portal-owned URL with a usable session: served, as before;
- portal-owned URL with no usable session: falls back to `create_link`, which
  mints a URL carrying its own token AND re-enters the only path that can
  observe a failure and repair.

That covers the unrepaired-endpoint half exactly. The misclassified-as-simple
half stays open by construction — no request means no evidence, and "simple
portal" is indistinguishable from "misclassified" without one. It belongs with
the other reactive-repair work already handed to PR 6: refresh and repair on an
OBSERVED playback authorization failure.

* fix(stalker): require flag evidence before trusting a row as unflagged

Two Codex findings on #1364.

P1 — legacy persisted snapshots. Favorites and Recently Viewed rows saved
before this change went through `buildStalkerSelectedVodItem`'s whitelist,
which dropped both flags, and `buildStalkerFavoritePayload` spreads that
whitelisted object. So a legacy row is flagless because WE stripped it, not
because the portal said no — and the helper was reading it as "explicitly
unflagged". With an absolute HTTP `cmd` from a load-balanced portal that meant
playing a non-final URL. There is no migration or provenance marker for those
rows.

A stock portal returns both flags on every row, so their PRESENCE is itself
the provenance signal, and it is the only one available without a refetch.
`resolveStalkerStaticPlaybackUrl` now requires at least one flag key to be
present; absence reads as "no evidence" and routes back to `create_link`,
which is the pre-PR behaviour. This costs the optimization on panels that omit
the flags entirely — the honest price for not being able to tell them apart
from our own stripped rows.

Radio is the one documented exception. It has always played a directly usable
command without `create_link`, so a flagless radio row keeps that rather than
newly minting — a portal whose radio `create_link` never worked would
otherwise lose playback it has today. ITV and VOD have no such history and
stay conservative.

P2 — loopback range. IPv4 reserves all of `127.0.0.0/8`, so `127.0.0.2` was
being handed to the player as a real address. Classified by range now, with a
test that `127.0.0.1.cdn.example` is still treated as the ordinary hostname it
is.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(stalker): classify every portal-local IPv6 placeholder

Codex P2 on #1364, same class as the 127.0.0.0/8 one. `http://[::]/ch/1234_`
and the IPv4-mapped loopback forms slipped past the exact-name set and would
have been handed to the player as real addresses.

Checked how `URL` actually normalizes these rather than guessing at the
spelling a portal might use: brackets are kept, `[0:0:0:0:0:0:0:1]` collapses
to `[::1]`, and an IPv4-mapped address is rewritten to hex — `[::ffff:127.0.0.1]`
arrives as `[::ffff:7f00:1]`. The guard now strips the brackets, matches `::1`
and `::`, and decodes the mapped form by its high byte, so the whole of the
mapped 127.0.0.0/8 range is covered along with the mapped unspecified address.
The dotted tail is still accepted for any engine that leaves it alone.

Routable hosts are unaffected, pinned by tests for `[2001:db8::1]` and
`[::ffff:203.0.113.7]`. Mutation-checked: dropping `::` and the mapped-IPv4
decode fails five tests and nothing else.

* fix(stalker): normalize hostname and scheme spelling before the static verdict

Two Codex P2s on #1364, both about trusting how a portal spells things.

`http://localhost./ch/1234_` — a trailing dot is the DNS root and resolves
identically, but `URL` keeps it for names while dropping it for IP literals
(`127.0.0.1.` arrives bare, `localhost.` does not). The exact-name check read
that as a remote host and would have pointed the player at its own loopback.
Stripped before classifying.

`HTTP://cdn.example/a.ts` — RFC 3986 makes the scheme case-insensitive. The
case-sensitive tests failed SAFE, minting a link instead, but that defeats the
contract for a portal that spells it this way, and one whose `create_link`
cannot resolve an already-playable row would break.

There were five such tests, and only one was on the new static path: the other
three live in `resolveStalkerPlaybackUrl`, the create_link RESPONSE resolver,
where `ffrt3 HTTP://…` failed to split its solution prefix and a query-only
reply was appended to the portal base instead of to the command. That is
pre-existing, but it is the same bug in the same shared normalizer, and fixing
only the half this PR introduced would leave exactly the divergence this PR
keeps removing. All five now go through one `hasHttpScheme()`.

The response resolver had only indirect coverage, so it gains a direct spec
alongside the static-path tests. Mutation-checked: reverting the dot strip and
the case-insensitive scheme fails ten tests and nothing else.

Also carries a docblock fix noticed on a read-through: the guard list still
pointed at `PORTAL_LOCAL_HOSTNAMES` after the logic moved into
`isPortalLocalHostname`, which now covers considerably more than that set.

* fix(stalker): normalize DNS root dots in the shared credential classifier

Codex P2 on #1364, extending the `localhost.` fix into
`isStalkerStreamCredentialSafe()`. It compared hostnames literally, so a
portal on `portal.example` serving `https://portal.example./movie.mkv`
classified its own stream as third-party.

Wider than the download guard it was reported against: this predicate is the
single rule BOTH the renderer playback-header builder and the Electron
main-process fallback use to decide whether a stream may carry the mac cookie
and Bearer token. A portal-owned stream spelled with the root dot was getting
the credential-free profile and would 401 — pre-existing, and exactly the
"only VLC works" class this contract exists to prevent. My PR added two new
dependencies on the same predicate (the download static guard and the
portal-owned fallback), which is how it surfaced.

Both sides are normalized, so it stays symmetric, and it can only widen toward
"same host" — never toward handing credentials to a different one. A test pins
that `evil.portal.example.` is still rejected.

Also carries the authority guard found by probing the same class myself rather
than waiting for it to be reported: `http:///ch/1` has no authority and `URL`
quietly reinterprets the first path segment as the host, so a malformed
command reached the player as a nonsense address instead of going to the
portal. `isPlayableHttpUrl()` now requires a non-empty authority. The other
exotic spellings I probed were already covered — `URL` canonicalizes `127.1`,
`2130706433` and `0x7f000001` to `127.0.0.1`, uppercases and expanded IPv6
normalize too.

* perf(stalker): classify the static url before authenticating

Codex P2 on #1364. Both static call sites awaited the session warm-up and only
then asked whether the stream needed portal credentials at all — so a movie or
channel on a foreign CDN paid for a handshake whose result was immediately
discarded.

That is not free: non-`create_link` requests carry a 15 s timeout
(`stalker.events.ts`), so a portal that is slow or offline stalled playback of
a stream the CDN would have served instantly. Cold Favorites/Recently Viewed
starts are exactly where this bites, since that is where the session is not
warm already.

Classification now runs first. Foreign host returns immediately, portal-owned
still warms and still falls back to `create_link` without a usable session.
Behaviour is otherwise unchanged; only the order and the wasted wait are gone.

Two tests moved with it: the foreign-host case now asserts the portal is not
contacted at all rather than merely not asked for a link, and the
repaired-endpoint case had been written against a foreign-host command, which
under the new ordering correctly never reaches the handshake it was meant to
be testing — it uses a portal-owned command now.

Mutation-checked: restoring warm-before-classify fails the foreign-host test
alone.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* test(stalker): repoint two handshake tests at the path they claim to cover

Self-audit, prompted by the previous round: the reorder exposed one test that
was asserting through a path it no longer reached, so I checked the rest of
that class rather than assume it was the only one. Two more had the same
defect, both mine.

`still returns the static url when the handshake fails` (both specs) mocked
`ensureToken` to reject, but used a FOREIGN-host command. Now that
classification runs before authentication, that command returns before the
handshake is ever attempted — the rejection was never exercised and the test
passed on the early return instead of the mechanism in its name. Worse, the
foreign case is already covered by the test added alongside the reorder, so
these were asserting nothing new.

Both now use a portal-owned command, which is what actually reaches the
handshake, and assert what a throw really produces: `ensureStalkerSession`
swallows it, the verdict is false, and the row falls back to `create_link`
rather than being served as a known 401. Each asserts `ensureToken` was in
fact called, so neither can silently drift back into testing an early return.

Docs corrected with them: the "best-effort degrades to the token-less header
set" wording described behaviour the reorder removed. A foreign-host URL is
now returned before any handshake, and a failed one routes to `create_link`.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* test(stalker): make the simple-portal skip test prove portal mode

Fourth test found passing through the wrong exit, from auditing all ten in the
block rather than waiting to trip over another one.

`skips the handshake for a simple portal` used a foreign-host command, so the
classification step returned before the warm-up was reached. `ensureToken` was
indeed not called — but because the host was foreign, not because the portal
was simple, and the assertion could not tell those apart. The command is now
portal-owned, so the skip can only come from the mode, and the test also pins
the returned URL and that no request was made.

Mutation-checked properly this time: removing the simple-portal early return
from `ensureStalkerSession` now fails this test. Under the old command it
would not have.

Also records the pattern where the next person will meet it. The decision
chain has several exits — no flag evidence, unresolvable command, `series`
set, foreign host, unusable session — and more than one can satisfy the same
assertion, so a foreign-host command silently stands in for "simple portal" or
"handshake failed". Mutation testing does not catch that class: it proves a
test is coupled to its target, not that it reached the mechanism it names.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(stalker): key the radio fallback on flag evidence, not snapshot presence

Codex P2 on #1364, and a divergence I introduced myself.

`withStalkerPlayer`'s radio branch checks `hasStalkerLinkFlagEvidence(item)`
before synthesizing the zero flags. `StreamResolverService` used `??`, which
only falls back when the snapshot is absent entirely. A radio Favorite or
Recent row persisted before the flags were carried HAS a snapshot — the old
whitelist just stripped the flags out of it — so the `??` selected that
flagless object, the helper found no evidence, and the collection route began
minting for exactly the rows that used to play directly. That breaks portals
whose radio `create_link` is unsupported, which is the case the radio
exception exists for.

The two paths now apply the identical rule. The divergence came from fixing
them in different rounds and is precisely the class this PR keeps closing, so
the comment on each side now points at the other.

The existing radio test carries no `stalkerItem` at all, so it exercises the
missing-snapshot arm and stayed green throughout — the same "passes through a
different exit" pattern documented in the section above. The new test supplies
a present-but-flagless snapshot. Mutation-checked: restoring the presence
check fails it alone.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(stalker): treat every reserved localhost name as portal-local

Codex P2 on #1364, the fourth in this class. RFC 6761 §6.3 reserves
`localhost` AND every name ending in `.localhost` for the loopback interface,
and resolvers honour it — so `http://stream.localhost/ch/1234_` reached the
player's own machine instead of being sent to the portal to resolve.

Closed the class rather than adding one more name: the suffix is matched, and
`localhost.localdomain` goes in with it as the conventional `/etc/hosts` alias
for 127.0.0.1 on most Linux systems. Together with the earlier rounds the
predicate now covers `localhost` and `*.localhost`, `localhost.localdomain`,
`127.0.0.0/8`, `0.0.0.0`, `::1`, `::`, the IPv4-mapped forms `URL` rewrites to
hex, and a terminal DNS root dot on any of them.

Only the suffix is reserved, so the guard must not over-match: tests pin that
`localhost.cdn.example` and `notlocalhost` remain ordinary routable names and
keep playing statically. Mutation-checked: dropping the suffix rule and the
localdomain alias fails four tests and nothing else.

4grayandClaude Opus 5 063662028a feat(portals): find the same movie in your other playlists (#1286)
* feat(portals): find the same movie in your other playlists

A movie that exists in several imported Xtream playlists now shows a
"Sources N" chip on its detail page and in the player. Switching playlist
mid-film keeps the timecode, a preferred source can be pinned per movie, and
a failed stream offers the alternatives instead of a dead end.

The governing rule is that a guess is never presented as a fact. Every
metadata value carries where it came from — `api` (the provider said so),
`parsed` (inferred from the title) or `probe` (we contacted the stream).
Facts render as plain tags, guesses are prefixed `~` in a warning colour, and
an unknown value renders no tag at all plus a "check" affordance. Ranking and
failover read through `factualOnly()`, so a filename claiming 4K is
structurally unable to outrank a source that was actually reached. A probe
that could not complete reports "unknown", never "unavailable".

Scope is deliberately narrow: Xtream to Xtream, movies only, Electron only.
Stalker never reaches the `content` table and M3U is a JSON blob whose search
forces live content; both are additive later, since the candidate type
already carries all three portal kinds. In the PWA every entry point is gated
off and the chip renders nothing.

Auto-failover is opt-in and off by default. Each source is tried at most once
per session, so it terminates structurally, and the switch is never silent —
the toast names the new playlist, offers an undo, and warns that the dub may
differ only when both sides state an audio track as fact.

Notable details:
- Playlist names are routinely the pasted URL, credentials included. They are
  never rendered raw; a short host-only label is derived instead.
- Quality is derived from pixel width, not height: a 2.39:1 1080p master is
  1920x800, and bucketing that by height would publish "720p" as a fact.
- Switching is a single `inlinePlayback.set()` so the player and engine
  survive and re-seek; the carried position is read before the 15s
  persistence throttle so it does not rewind.
- Sources from one playlist collapse into a group, since the same film often
  appears there several times under different stream ids.

* fix(portals): stop stale source resolutions from committing

Addresses three defects Greptile found in the multi-source review.

**Concurrent switches committed out of order.** Selecting a second source
before the first resolution returned let the slower request overwrite the
newer selection and repoint Undo at itself. `switchTo` now takes a sequence
number and drops its result if a newer switch already committed.

**Stale switches crossed movie sessions.** Navigating to another film while a
resolution was in flight let the continuation activate the old film's source
inside the new controller — and restart it from that session's zero resume
position. The controller is now snapshotted per operation and the movie
session is revalidated after every await. `check()` had the same hazard across
its two awaits and is guarded the same way.

**Short titles skipped discovery entirely.** The trigram tokenizer cannot index
tokens under three characters, so "Up", "It" or "Us" produced an empty MATCH
expression and the query was discarded before SQLite was consulted — the chip
could never appear for those films. Discovery now falls back to a bounded scan
when FTS structurally cannot serve the title; the existing two-tier normalized
confirmation still rejects loose hits like "Upgrade".

Each fix carries a regression test; all three were mutation-checked by removing
the guard and confirming exactly those tests fail. The previous test asserting
that short titles return nothing encoded the bug and has been replaced.

The host spec passed 400 lines, so its fixtures moved to a shared module and
the race suite into its own file.

* fix(portals): make the pin decide playback and keep failover going

Second round of Greptile review findings.

**A pin had no behavioural effect.** Loading a stored pin only decorated the
row: Play still started the route's playlist and failover ranking ignored
`isPinned`, so "make this the main source" survived a restart as an icon and
nothing else. The primary action now starts from the pinned source when one is
set, and the pin outranks everything else in failover ranking.

**Failover stopped at the first unresolvable candidate.** An expired account or
a failing `get_vod_info` on the top-ranked source ended the attempt, and since
production calls `failover()` only once — on the original playback failure — a
healthy lower-ranked source was never reached. It now continues through untried
candidates. `switchTo` reports why it stopped so the loop can tell "could not
resolve, try the next one" from "something newer owns the screen"; without that
distinction a superseded switch would have spun forever, because only the
former marks the candidate tried.

**Identity ignored enrichment.** The key was `playlistId:contentId:title`, so
when `get_vod_info` added a TMDB id and release year to an unchanged title the
host saw no change, never reloaded, and kept yearless discovery and title-only
pin keys — a `tmdb:`-keyed pin could never be found. The key now covers every
field that affects matching.

**A server refusing HEAD read as unavailable.** Some stream hosts answer 405 or
501 to HEAD yet serve the media over GET. The probe now retries once with the
ranged GET the main process already supported, instead of caching a working
source as failed and penalising it during failover.

Greptile also flagged a missing token check after the resolve await in
`switchTo`; that guard landed in 4db3a2fd and sits on the line directly below.
Answered on the thread rather than changed.

The host service passed 400 lines again, so the pin, probe, switch-notice and
current-row concerns moved into focused modules beside it.

* docs(portals): record the behaviour the review rounds changed

The architecture doc and CLAUDE.md described the feature as first written, not
as it now behaves: pins were documented as a stored preference without saying
they decide playback, failover was described as stopping at the first
unresolvable candidate, the probe as HEAD-only, and discovery as pure FTS with
no mention that short titles cannot be tokenized at all.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(portals): invalidate the session while the movie identity is empty

The staleness guard added in 4db3a2fd bumped the session only inside `load()`,
which leaves a window the guard does not cover: route navigation empties the
movie identity first, and `load()` for the replacement runs only once a title
is knowable again. A resolution completing in that interval still carried a
session number that matched, so it passed the check and started the previous
movie's source over the page the user was navigating to.

The binding effect now bumps the session as soon as the identity goes null, so
anything already in flight is invalidated at the moment the old movie stops
being the one on screen rather than when the next one finishes loading.

`lastMovieKey` is deliberately left alone: returning to the same movie should
not re-run discovery, and the controller's state is still correct — only the
in-flight operations needed invalidating.

Regression test added and mutation-checked: removing the bump fails exactly
that test.

* fix(portals): stop the source list from losing the real alternatives

Six review findings, all in how multi-source decides what to show and what
it is playing.

Discovery: the current playlist is now excluded in SQL rather than after the
fact, so its own duplicate rows can no longer spend the whole row budget
before a single alternative is read. The short-title scan matches the token
as a word instead of a substring and orders by title length in a wider
window, so "Titanic" and "The Italian Job" cannot push the real "It" out of
it.

Session: metadata enrichment re-runs discovery for the film already on
screen. That is a refresh, not a new session — a second identity key
(playlistId:contentId) now separates the two, so the source the user
switched to keeps playing and stays named, the tried set stays burned, the
position survives and a switch in flight still commits.

Resume: the multi-source controller no longer records the engine's pre-seek
timeupdate at ~0. The playback service's one-shot latch now reports whether
the position can be believed, and until it can, the requested start time
stands in — so a switch during the initial seek does not restart the film.

UI: the in-player sources picker gets the same auto-failover setting and
match kind as the detail page's, instead of always rendering the default and
dropping the toggle. The caption counts distinct playlists, not stream
variants, since the popover groups a portal's copies under that portal.

Session mechanics and the pin toggle move into their own modules to keep the
host service inside the line budget.

* fix(portals): keep the playing row when the refined year rejects it

Follow-on from keeping the session across a rediscovery. The rerun can
legitimately drop the row that is playing: enrichment supplies the release
year, and the year gate then rejects a copy the yearless search had admitted
— "Dune" 1984 while the user is watching the 2021 film.

Off the list is right; it is not the same film. Off the screen is not. It is
what is streaming, so it stays as a row and keeps the playing badge, rather
than letting the caption name a playlist that is not sending any bytes.

Also covers the new session key directly in the identity spec.

* fix(portals): stop a pin write from landing on the next movie

Two findings from the review of the previous round.

A pin write is an IPC round-trip, and the user can navigate during it. The
continuation then applied one film's answer to another film's controller —
and because unpinning returns "nothing pinned", it would clear the pin the
new movie had just loaded and its Play action would quietly stop starting
from the preferred source. It now commits only while the same film is still
on screen, like every other async path here.

The short-title scan drops its row limit. FTS keeps its window because it
ranks by relevance, so what it keeps is what matters; a scan cannot rank, so
a window there silently decides which valid sources the user is allowed to
see. It also bought nothing: the GLOB cannot use an index, so SQLite reads
every row either way and the limit only truncated the answer. What bounds
the scan is its predicate — reaching it means the whole title is one or two
characters.

The switch-notice type moves to the module that builds it, which also
removes a circular type import between the two.

* fix(portals): keep external playback, the pin and the resume point honest

Five findings from the round-5 review.

An external player launched for an alternative carries that playlist's ids,
so the page disowned its own session: the primary button never became Stop,
stopping found nothing to stop, and another click opened a second player.
Multi-source now tells playback which source is actually active, and the
matcher accepts either that or the route's own stream.

Stop also has to beat the pin. The primary action consults the pin first —
that is what makes a pin decide where playback starts — but while a session
is running the same button reads Stop, and consulting the pin there made the
control do the opposite of its label.

A pinned source started from the Resume button resolved at zero, because
nothing reports a live position until the first timeupdate. The controller is
now seeded from the persisted position, one-way: a live value always wins,
since the stored one lags it and applying it would rewind.

A pin whose write failed was still shown as pinned, promising a preference
that reopening the movie would not have.

Portal failures in this path logged raw errors. An Xtream error message
carries the stream URL, and that URL is built out of the username and
password, so they now go through the redacting logger.

* fix(portals): make every alias of a pin agree, and stop losing rows

Four findings from the latest review pass.

A pin lookup accepts several aliases of the same movie, but a write only
touched the most-trusted one — so after enrichment the title alias still
pointed at whatever was pinned before, and a reopen that read it (because
TMDB had not landed yet, or its request failed) started the source the user
had just replaced. Writes now go to every alias.

That alias set was also missing one. Enrichment supplies the year as well as
the id, so a pin set before either existed is stored yearless; the candidate
list skipped that form entirely and orphaned the row.

Discovery could lose whole playlists: one playlist listing a film in dozens
of categories produces identically ranked rows that fill the window before
another playlist is read. The collapse now happens in SQL, before the limit,
rather than in TypeScript afterwards where the missing rows are already gone.

And an abandoned source pick finishing late cleared the spinner from the row
the user was actually waiting on.

Removes `isExhausted()` from the host service — no caller outside its own
tests, where the assertion above it already proved the same thing.

* fix(portals): probe like playback, and stop the pin answering for a remake

Five findings from the latest review pass.

Writing a pin to every alias — last round's fix for stale aliases — was
wrong in the other direction: `title:{base}:` is shared by every remake, so
a known-year decision stored there answers for a different film. Pin Dune
(2021), open Dune (1984) before its year arrives, and it would start the
2021 source. A write now clears every alias and stores only the canonical
key, which retires the stale ones without making any of them ambiguous.

The probe checked a bare URL while playback sends the playlist's User-Agent,
Referer and Origin. A panel that requires them answers 401/403, so a stream
that plays perfectly was reported dead and penalised in failover ranking.

The switch toast interpolated the raw playlist name. Users routinely name a
playlist after the URL they pasted, so that line could put credentials over
the video; the notice now carries the same safe label the rows use.

External players have no timeupdate, so their polled position IS the live
one. Feeding it through the seed — which stops at the first value — froze
the resume point where playback started, and a switch an hour in rewound to
the beginning.

And auto-failover concluded "nowhere to go" when a stream failed before
discovery answered, stranding the user on the error screen.

Moves `switchTo` into the session module, which is where the rest of the
switch mechanics already live, and splits the route spec along the same
rendering/behaviour seam the other suites use.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(portals): re-check the movie after waiting, and follow the alternative

Three findings, two of them regressions from the previous round.

Awaiting a pending discovery before failover let the user navigate during
that wait: the continuation then ran against whatever controller was current
and could answer one film's playback failure by starting another film's
alternative. Both waits — failover and pinned Play — now re-check that the
same movie still owns the screen.

Pinned Play also needed the wait it did not have. Pressing Play while the
pin lookup was still out concluded "nothing is pinned" and started the
route's own source, making a persisted preference depend on worker latency.

And the position bridge still accepted only the route's ids, so an external
player running an alternative had every progress update discarded: the
resume point stayed where playback began and a switch an hour in rewound the
lot. The session matcher and the bridge now share one ownership predicate,
since a page that shows Stop for a session whose progress it throws away is
the bug in two halves.

The test for the external case previously set the position signal directly,
which bypassed the very filter that was broken; it now drives the bridge.

* fix(portals): stop a remake matching, and let a pin survive its own playlist

Three findings from the latest review pass.

`normalizeTitleKeys` strips bracketed segments as tag noise, so "Dune (1984)"
normalizes to exactly "dune" — an EXACT match for the 2021 film, ranked above
every fuzzy one, with the year never consulted because that tier skipped the
gate. Auto-failover could switch the user to the other film entirely. The
year is now read out of brackets too, and a stated disagreement rejects the
row on either tier.

Playback positions are keyed by (playlist, stream), so watching through a
pinned alternative stores progress under ITS ids while the page loads the
route copy's row. Starting the pin therefore resumed from a position
belonging to a different copy — usually zero. It now loads its own.

And a pin can point at another copy of the film inside the playlist being
viewed, which discovery excludes wholesale: the pinned row was absent from
the list, so nothing showed as pinned and Play ignored the preference. The
pin is now read before discovery, which keeps that one row.

Moves the pin-shaped decisions into the pin module, where the persistence
helpers already live.

* fix(portals): keep a pinned play, a same-playlist copy and Check honest

Five findings from the latest review pass.

Reading a pinned source's own position is a database round-trip, and the user
can navigate across it — the continuation then handed one film's source id to
whichever movie now owned the screen. Guarded, like every other await here.

Allowing a pinned copy to live in the current playlist made "is this the
route's own source?" a two-part question, and the ownership check still asked
only about the playlist: an external session for that copy was disowned, so
Stop vanished and its progress was dropped.

The yearless title alias is shared by every remake, so clearing every alias
before a write could delete a different film's pin. Writes and unpins now
touch only keys that name one film — plus the ambiguous row this session
actually read, which is the one the user is looking at and the one whose
absence would make an unpin come back.

Restart left the seeded position in the controller, so a failure before the
first timeupdate resolved the next source back at it.

And the alternative rows on the playback-error screen had a Check button
wired to nothing at all.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(portals): stop a rediscovery restoring the pin it started with

A same-movie rediscovery read the pin, then held that snapshot across its
source lookup and applied it afterwards. A pin made while the lookup was out
was therefore overwritten by the older value: the row and the primary Play
action named a source the database no longer held.

The snapshot is now applied as soon as it is read, so a later write simply
wins on ordering rather than needing to be detected.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(portals): write the pin before retiring it, and keep the badge honest

Three findings from the latest review pass.

Repinning cleared the old rows and then wrote the new one, so a write that
failed after the clear left nothing persisted while the row still showed the
old pin. The order is reversed: the new key is stored first and the stale
ones retired only once it landed. Lookups are most-trusted-first, so a
leftover alias never outranks what was just written.

Starting a source from the picker, or letting a pin decide the primary Play,
never recorded the movie as recently viewed — unlike every other way of
playing it.

And closing an alternative's player and pressing Play started the route
stream while the controller still marked the alternative active, so the
picker and caption named a source that was not running.

Moves the discovery pass into the session module beside the switch and
failover mechanics, and splits the pin spec along the persistence/playback
seam, both to stay inside the file-size rule.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(portals): stop claiming playback, a cached answer and a resolution

Three findings, all of them the same rule: never state as fact something the
app has not established.

The "Playing from …" caption appeared as soon as discovery marked a source
active — before Play was pressed, and again after the player was closed. It
now requires a player that is actually running.

Probe answers were cached by URL alone, but the request now carries the
playlist's headers. Two playlists sharing a stream URL could therefore be
told the other's answer, marking a source dead without ever asking it.

And any width below 900 was labelled 480p, published with `api` provenance:
a 640x360 stream stated 480p as a fact, and a 720x576 PAL source likewise.
Widths below HD only resolve with the height — 720 is NTSC 480p or PAL 576p
— so an unrecognised shape now carries no quality tag at all.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(portals): match the sub-HD formats, and drop the caption on failure

Two follow-ups to the previous round, both the same rule again.

The 800-wide band still answered from the width alone, so 800x600 and
800x450 were labelled 480p — published with `api` provenance, so read as a
measurement. Sub-HD formats are now matched against known shapes with the
same 5% tolerance the height path uses, and anything unrecognised carries no
tag at all.

And "Playing from ..." survived a playback failure: the inline host stays
mounted while the diagnostic is on screen, so the page named a source for a
stream it had just reported it could not play. The caption now clears on
failure and returns when the engine produces time again.

Splits the route playback spec along the "what it does" / "what it claims"
seam and lifts the repeated active-source stub into one helper.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(portals): let the height veto a width match, and hold the failure state

Two follow-ups to the previous round, both in code it introduced.

A width that matched exactly one sub-HD format ignored the height entirely,
so 640x480 came back as 360p — a measurement the numbers contradict. The
height now vetoes, but only in the direction that can be wrong: cropping
removes lines, so a SHORTER frame is a letterboxed master of that format and
the width still names it, while a taller one is a different shape and gets
no tag. That keeps the reason width is preferred in the first place.

And picking a source off the error screen cleared the failure state before
the switch resolved, so an alternative that could not be resolved left the
diagnostic on screen while the caption went back to claiming playback. The
flag now clears only once a switch actually starts something.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(portals): release the resume latch when the target cannot be reached

Carrying a position into a shorter cut of the same film — two hours into a
90-minute source — leaves the engine unable to ever report that time, so the
one-shot latch never released: every position save was suppressed for the
rest of the session, and the impossible start time kept being reported to
multi-source for the next switch.

The latch now also opens when a known duration puts the requested point out
of reach, while a reachable one still waits as before.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(portals): say "Playing" only while something is playing

`isActive` means "the source a switch or Play would use". Discovery sets it
the moment the page opens and it survives closing the player, so it could not
back the two claims the UI made in the present tense: the "Playing from"
caption and the source row's Playing badge. Both appeared on a page where
nothing had started, and came back after the player was closed.

`playbackLive` is now that statement, and both read it. Inline it needs a
timeupdate — `inlinePlayback()` is only the REQUEST to play, non-null while
the engine is still opening the stream and still non-null after it fails —
and external it needs the session past `launching`. A row that is merely
selected reads "Current" (new key, filled for all 19 locales).

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(portals): start a never-watched pinned source from the beginning

Positions are keyed by (playlist, stream). When the pin points at a copy the
user has never opened, the lookup returns nothing and the controller was left
holding the ROUTE copy's position — so Play dropped them 42 minutes into an
unstarted film, and the first save wrote that timecode back under the pinned
source's key, making it permanent.

The spec asserted the old behaviour, so it is flipped rather than extended; a
second case covers the host that supplies no lookup at all, where "never
watched" was never established and the position must be left alone.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(portals): describe the copy the primary button will actually play

Two gaps found by review.

A pin makes the primary button play a copy the page never loaded a position
for — positions are keyed by (playlist, stream). The label, timecode and
Restart affordance still came from the route copy's row, so the button could
read "Resume 42:18" and start an unwatched copy at zero, or read "Play" and
jump into the middle of one already watched. `createPrimaryActionPosition`
lets the pinned copy's row govern, including when that row is absent: never
watched is an answer, not a fallback to someone else's progress.

A manual source switch also mounts a DIFFERENT stream in the same host while
marking the new source active at once, so the previous stream's timeupdate was
still vouching for it — the caption and the badge claimed the new source while
it was still opening. That path now clears the latch like Play and Restart do.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(portals): keep the route's own resume point, and honour a closed pin

Two more from review, both variations on "selected is not playing".

`vodPlaybackPosition` followed whichever copy last reported — so after an
alternative played, Resume and its label described that copy's row while
starting the route's stream, jumping it to a timecode nobody reached in it.
It now splits: `vodPlaybackPosition` stays the last position seen (the
progress bar and the switch handoff want the stream on screen), and
`routePlaybackPosition` holds the route copy's own row for everything that
acts on the route's stream.

`pinnedSourceAwaitingPlay` skipped the pin whenever its row was active, but
`isActive` means selected — the pinned row stays selected after its player is
closed, so the next Play went to the route copy and ignored the stored
preference until the page was reopened. It now takes `playbackLive` too.

The host service crossed the 400-line cap on the way, so the four derived
alternative counts moved into `vod-multi-source-counts.ts`.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(portals): keep the primary button honest across navigation and pins

Four follow-ups from review, all consequences of splitting the position
signals.

- Route reuse (the Similar rail) cleared only `vodPlaybackPosition`, so the
  button kept the previous movie's Resume label — and start point — until the
  new lookup landed. Both signals and the playback latch now reset together.
- The primary button's fall-through past an unresolvable pin reached the
  service directly, skipping the bookkeeping a route start needs: the
  controller kept the alternative's timecode and the old stream's timeupdate
  still vouched for the new one. It now goes through the route's own wrappers,
  and Resume seeds the controller with the ROUTE copy's position.
- `alternativePlaylistCount` counted the playlist being watched whenever it
  held a second copy, so "also found in 2 other playlists" could mean one.
- The pinned copy's stored row went stale the moment the user watched it; its
  live position now wins while it is the one playing.

* fix(portals): do not spend a source's failover turn on mere selection

`setActiveSource` marked the source tried, but discovery calls it the moment
the page opens and a pin or the picker can call it before anything plays. So
opening a movie burned the route copy's turn: if a pinned alternative then
failed, failover skipped a healthy untouched source — and with only one
alternative, reported the options exhausted.

Selection and attempt are now separate. `setActiveSource` selects;
`markPlaying` also spends the turn, and only the three places that really
start playback call it. `runFailover` additionally retires whatever is on
screen before picking, so the failing source is spent however it got there —
relying on the start paths alone would leave one hole per path, and the cost
of missing it is a ping-pong between two sources.

One existing spec asserted the old behaviour (a route copy burned by a switch
it never played); it now plays first, so it still covers what it meant to —
that the tried set survives a rediscovery.

* feat(portals): carry VOD source pins through playlist backup

The new pins table was invisible to backup: exporting a playlist and
re-importing it on a new machine silently dropped every "main source" choice,
with nothing in the archive to say the choice had ever been made.

Pins now ride along under the playlist they point AT — carrying them anywhere
else would restore a preference for a portal the archive never contained.
`matchKey` names the film rather than the portal, so it survives untouched and
only the playlist id is remapped to the imported copy.

`sourcePins` is the one optional collection in the Xtream user state: archives
written before multi-source existed simply do not have it, so its absence is
age rather than damage. Only a wrong type is rejected, and pins without a
usable match key or content id are dropped, since writing one would occupy the
unique key of a film it does not describe.

Adds `DB_LIST_VOD_SOURCE_PINS` through the usual six seams (operation, worker
case, event, preload, bridge contract, service).

* test(portals): follow the normalized restore state's new collection

`normalizeXtreamPendingRestoreState` now always emits `sourcePins`, like every
other collection it canonicalizes, so three specs that assert the exact
normalized shape had to follow. Adds coverage for the sanitizing itself: a pin
without a usable match key or content id is dropped, and a non-string
`updatedAt` is discarded rather than carried.

Caught by CI, not locally — the earlier full run served `playlist-shared-ui`
from the Nx cache, so it reported green on a stale result.

* refactor(portals): lift the VOD route's orchestration out of the component

The details route had grown to 864 lines — the repository's hard maximum is
400, and while the file predates the rule, a baselined exemption is not a
budget to spend.

Three component-provided services now hold what the component was
accumulating: `VodDetailsMultiSourceUiService` (the playback-evidence latch,
the caption, the primary button's position, source actions and the failover
toast), `VodDetailsSimilarService` (the rail and its cross-portal lookup), and
`VodDetailsDownloadsService`. The component keeps its public API, so the
template and the existing specs are untouched. 864 -> 566 lines.

The downloads move also fixes a latent bug: `downloadVod` and `playFromLocal`
read `route.snapshot.params`, which is stale once the router reuses this
component for detail-to-detail navigation (the Similar rail) — so a download
started from a film reached that way fetched the previous one. They now read
the same route-params signal everything else uses, with a regression test.

Also from review: pins are applied on the FRESH-import path too. A new
playlist has no content when the archive is read, so its user state is parked
and replayed after the import — the merge path I wired first never ran there,
and every pin was dropped. A failed pin write now propagates instead of being
ignored: the backup entry is reported failed, and the parked state is kept so
a transient failure can be retried rather than silently losing the preference.

* fix(portals): read array-shaped codecs, bound short-title scans, honour alias clears

Three from review.

`info.video`/`info.audio` are declared — and sent by the mock server and many
panels — as string arrays, but the resolver only read the ffprobe object shape.
Every array response therefore lost the provider's codec, so those source rows
showed no codec fact and the "dub may differ" warning could never fire.
`readStreamInfo` now accepts both, and states nothing when the provider stated
nothing.

The FTS-empty fallback scan matched only the FIRST token, which is fine for a
one-word short title but not for "I Am": every catalog row containing the word
"i" came back for TypeScript to throw away — a full scan of a large catalog on
the single database worker, just to open a detail page. Every token must now
appear.

`writePin` reported success when the canonical write landed but retiring the
old alias failed. Lookups read aliases before the canonical key, so reopening
the movie before enrichment would start the source the user just replaced,
with the icon promising otherwise.

* fix(portals): write a pin and retire its aliases in one transaction

Split across two calls, a half-failure had no honest outcome. Reporting
success left a surviving alias to win the next lookup and start the source the
user had just replaced; reporting failure — which the previous round changed
it to — left the canonical row durable while the UI showed a pin that was no
longer the stored one. Review was right both times, which is the tell that the
two-step shape was the problem.

`setVodSourcePin` now takes the keys to retire and does both inside one
`db.transaction()`, with the synchronous `.run()` form the better-sqlite3
driver requires there (issue #1137's lesson). `retireKeys` rides through the
worker op, the IPC contract, the preload bridge and the service, so there is
one call and one outcome.

Also corrects the architecture doc: the scan path is reached whenever no token
clears the trigram minimum, not only when the whole title is one or two
characters — the claim the previous commit's code change had already falsified.

* fix(portals): tell a superseded pinned play from an unusable pin

Double-clicking Play while a pinned source resolves put both handlers into
`playPinnedSource()`. The second supersedes the first, so the first returned
`false` — which the route read as "no usable pin" and answered by starting the
route source over the playback the second click had just begun.

`playPinnedSource` now reports `played` / `superseded` / `unavailable`, and
only `unavailable` falls through. This is the same distinction `runFailover`
already draws between "keep going" and "stop, something newer owns the screen";
the pinned path simply never had it.

The host crossed the 400-line cap again on the way, so the pinned-play errand
(wait out an in-flight discovery, re-check the session, start the source) moved
into the pin module beside `playPinned`, and the pin-toggle commit went with
it. 388 lines.

* fix(portals): restart honours the pin, and a switch replaces the player

Three from review, all in the pinned-playback seam.

A pinned copy watched through resolved to its stored seconds, so the button
read Play — the label uses the in-progress rule — and then started near the
end. Both now go through one `isResumablePosition`, so the label and the start
point cannot disagree.

Restart sat beside a Resume that honours a foreign pin, but called `playVod`
and started the ROUTE copy — silently switching the user's playlist. It now
restarts whatever the primary button acts on, falling back to the route source
only when there is no usable pin.

Switching sources left a running external player alone. With MPV or VLC and
instance reuse off the backend spawns a second detached process, so both
sources kept playing and Stop owned only the newer one.

Also merges master, and puts the five host specs on a shared harness — they
each carried the same 31-line TestBed, which is what pushed two of them over
the file-size cap as cases were added.

* fix(portals): find short Unicode titles, and stop two pickers racing

Five from review.

Greptile's P1: a short non-ASCII title was undiscoverable. SQLite's `LOWER()`
and GLOB classes are ASCII-only, so "он" never matched a stored "Он" and the
source simply never appeared. ASCII tokens keep the word-boundary GLOB; a
non-ASCII token falls back to a substring test against both the folded and the
as-typed form, which the normalized confirmation afterwards makes safe.

A probe now retries the ranged GET for 400 and 403, not just 405/501 — those
are what a WAF returns for an unexpected HEAD on a URL it serves happily over
GET, and calling that source dead also ranked it below worse ones.

Three races, all the same shape as ones fixed earlier in this branch:
- a pinned play awaiting its resume lookup did not notice a source picked
  across it, and finished last, replacing the user's choice;
- two overlapping switches both saw the same external session, both awaited
  its close, and both launched — two detached players again;
- the primary button showed the ROUTE copy's Resume while the pinned copy's
  row was still loading, so a click started somewhere else entirely.

Also puts the races spec on the shared host harness, which is what keeps it
inside the file-size rule now that it carries two more cases.

* fix(portals): close the player we launched, not the one we now own

Three follow-ups, two of them to last round's own fixes.

The external-session close was defeated in exactly the case it was written
for: `switchToSource` marks the DESTINATION active before handing playback
over, so by the time the service ran, the process still playing no longer
looked like ours and was left running beside its replacement. The service now
remembers the ids it launched with, independently of what is active.

The ASCII/Unicode branch was decided from the NORMALIZED token, which folds
diacritics — "Ça" arrived as "ca", looked like plain ASCII, and took the GLOB
path while the stored title still read "Ça". Decided from the raw token now.

Backup restore upserted archived pins but never removed the playlist's
existing ones, so a present-but-empty collection left stale preferences alive
— unlike the playback positions cleared beside it. An absent collection (an
older archive) still means "no opinion" and is left alone.

Four files crossed the size cap on the way; the split ones now share
`title-sources.spec-data.ts` and `playlist-backup.xtream-fixtures.ts`, and the
external-session ownership moved to its own module.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(portals): absent is not empty, and every start claims the generation

Four more from review, three of them defects in last round's fixes.

The restore normalizer materialized `sourcePins: []` for archives that never
had the field, so "absent means no opinion" became "this archive says there
are no pins" and a merge cleared the user's. Absent now stays absent. My test
for that behaviour had passed for the wrong reason — it stubbed an empty pin
list, so the clear was skipped whether or not the guard worked.

`startGeneration` was claimed only by the switch path, so a plain Play, Resume
or Restart could be overtaken by a switch still awaiting its close. Every
start claims it now.

Raw and normalized tokens were paired by position, which breaks when
normalization drops a whole word: "FR: Ça" normalizes to "ca" and got handed
the raw token "FR:", sending it down the ASCII branch it cannot match from.
They are paired by normalized form instead.

And the ambiguous yearless alias (`title:dune:`) is no longer written or
retired beside a precise key — it may hold another remake's pre-enrichment
pin. It stays available when it is the only key there is, since refusing to
pin at all would be worse.

* fix(portals): a failed close must not leave the page claiming a dead source

When `closeSession()` rejected, `startResolvedPlayback` rejected with it and
never launched — while `switchToSource` had already marked the destination
active and reported the switch as successful. The page then named a source
that nothing was playing.

The close failure is logged and the replacement starts anyway. A close that
rejects usually means the session was already gone, and a possibly-lingering
process is the lesser of the two evils: the alternative is a UI that lies
about what is on screen.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* refactor(portals): split the external-playback handoff out of the service

Both the service and its spec crossed the 400-line cap with the close-failure
handling, so the handoff — deciding which process is ours, closing it, and
surviving a close that rejects — now lives in
`vod-details-external-session.ts` with its own spec file.

Two tests had to start awaiting: replacing a running external player is a
round-trip, and the handoff now yields once even when there is nothing to
close, so the new playback is mounted a microtask later than before.

* style(portals): format the extracted external-session module

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(portals): fold diacritics in the title index

Cross-playlist matching compares normalized titles ("Amélie" -> "amelie")
against an index built from the raw title, and the trigram tokenizer does not
fold diacritics by default. Every accented title was therefore invisible to
the FTS path: two identical `Amélie` entries produced no candidates at all.
That is the broadest of the Unicode gaps review found, and it predates the
short-title work.

The tokenizer is fixed at CREATE time, so existing databases recreate and
rebuild the index once behind a migration marker. `remove_diacritics` needs
SQLite 3.45+, so support is probed on a temp table first: an older runtime
keeps its working index untouched and the migration is not recorded as done,
leaving a later version free to upgrade it.

Case folding for non-ASCII remains impossible in stock SQLite — "ОН" cannot
find "Он" by any available predicate — and is documented as the known limit
rather than patched around again.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(portals): clear a playlist's pins by playlist, not by key list

Restoring over a playlist reused the keyed clear, which caps its input at
MAX_KEYS_PER_LOOKUP to bound an IN clause. A playlist with more than eight
pinned movies therefore kept the surplus while the call still reported
success, and the restore then wrote the archive's pins on top — leaving the
union of two states, which is neither the one the user asked for.

Clearing is now a dedicated delete-by-playlist operation with no key list to
truncate, and it refuses a blank playlist id rather than deleting everything.
A failure fails the entry instead of being swallowed: `listForPlaylist`
returns `[]` on error and `clear` returns `false`, so ignoring the result made
a failed read indistinguishable from "there was nothing to clear".

* fix(portals): keep a pin readable under every identity of its film

Two defects in the pin/position subsystem, both reported in review.

A pin was stored under the movie's most-trusted key alone and its other
keys retired. But a movie's identity GROWS: the film keyed `tmdb:438631`
today was `title:dune:2021` before enrichment, and reopening it cold asks
for the poorer key first. The preference was therefore ignored until
enrichment landed — and permanently when enrichment is off or never
answers. The decision is now written under every key in `write` (never
the yearless form, which every remake shares), one upsert per key plus
the leftover retirement in the same transaction. `setVodSourcePin` also
reports failure for a pin with no usable key instead of claiming a write
it never made.

The primary button asked whether the pinned copy's position had loaded
by testing presence rather than identity, so re-pinning left it wearing
the previous copy's timecode until the new lookup returned.

* docs(portals): record the key-addressing limit a pin write cannot close

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(portals): fold non-ASCII case in the scan, and read years as tags

I was wrong about SQLite twice over, and both errors cost matches.

GLOB character classes are NOT ASCII-only. `patternCompare` reads them as
UTF-8 code points, so `'Он' GLOB '*[Оо][Нн]*'` is true — only `LOWER()` is
ASCII-only. The scan tier now folds the case in JavaScript, where Unicode
case mapping is real, and hands SQLite one class per character. A short
Cyrillic or Greek title stored in a different case is found instead of
being silently absent from the Sources chip. The builder returns `null`,
leaving the substring tests as the whole answer, for a token holding a
GLOB metacharacter (GLOB has no escape character) or a case mapping that
changes length. The FTS tier is untouched and still cannot fold — that
needs a stored normalized-title column.

The movie's own year came from `extractYear`, which reads a year from
anywhere in the title. That is right where a year is a search hint, wrong
where it is an identity: `2001: A Space Odyssey` was treated as a 2001
film, so every genuine 1968 copy failed the year gate and the movie had
no alternatives at all — and its pin key moved the moment enrichment
supplied the real year. `releaseTagYear` accepts only bracketed and
trailing forms; the repo's own TRAILING_YEAR_PATTERN already documented
this exact hazard.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(portals): cover a letter spelled two ways in lower case

Greek Σ lowercases to σ, but a word-final sigma is written ς and is
equally a lowercase of it, so a class built only from the character in
hand knew one spelling of two. Each class now also carries the uppercase
form's own lowercase, which reaches the other one.

One-way on purpose: σ → Σ → σ never arrives at ς. Left so because ς is
only correct at the end of a word, which is exactly where the request's
last character sits — the pair that occurs in real titles is covered, and
closing the other direction needs a fold table.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(portals): let an exact title keep a number that is part of its name

Both match tiers weighed the same year, taken from a trailing four-digit
tail or a bracketed tag. On the exact tier that rejects the very copy it
was meant to confirm: reaching it means both titles are the SAME string,
so the trailing digits belong to both, and comparing them against a
release year out of metadata makes "Blade Runner 2049" disagree with its
own stated 2017 — the genuine alternative disappears at the moment
enrichment lands, which is when the user has most reason to expect it.

The exact tier now reads the bracketed form only. Brackets are never part
of a name, so "Dune (1984)" is still rejected against 2021. The base tier
is unchanged: it has just stripped a trailing year, and that year is the
only thing separating "Dune 1984" from "Dune 2021".

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(database): verify the title index folds, rather than trust the marker

`createTables` declares content_title_fts with the plain trigram
tokenizer, and the diacritics migration declares it again with folding.
Two sources of truth for one tokenizer: if the table ever went missing
after the marker was written, `CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS` would restore
the unfolded form and the migration would skip it on the marker alone.

The upgrade now reads the live table's own DDL from sqlite_master and
rebuilds unless it really folds. A degraded index is invisible from the
outside — discovery just stops finding "Pokémon" for "pokemon" — so the
record has to be checked against the thing it describes.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(portals): give the route's own row the facts the page already has

Two provenance defects found in review.

The current-source row is never resolved — nothing needs to fetch a URL
for the stream already playing — so it carried no provider metadata at
all, while every alternative got its facts from the resolve preceding
playback. `audioDiffersFactually` requires a fact on BOTH sides, so the
"dub may differ" warning was structurally unreachable on the commonest
switch there is: route to alternative. It could only ever fire between
two alternatives that had both been resolved. The row now carries what
`get_vod_info` already told the page, via a `providerVodMetadataOf`
mapper shared with the resolver so the two cannot describe one movie
differently.

Quality bucketed every width from 900 to 1199 as 576p, so a 960x540
stream — an ordinary 540p encode — was published as "576p" with `api`
provenance: a measurement its own pixels contradict, from the one field
that is supposed to mean the provider said so. That range holds two
standard formats, so it is matched now rather than bucketed, exactly as
the sub-HD sizes already were. A width matching no known format yields
no tag and a check chip, which is the honest answer.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(portals): let the height veto a width-derived quality, and refresh route facts

Both of these are gaps I saw and chose not to close last round; a
reviewer was right that neither survives its own reasoning.

The shape check only ran below 1200, so the HD ranges kept publishing
wrong-but-confident labels: 1440x1080 is anamorphic 1080 and 1600x900 is
900p, and both were "720p" with `api` provenance — the provenance that
means the provider said so. Ranges are fine up there, the standard widths
really are far apart, but only once a known height can veto the answer.
Same rule the matched formats already used: a shorter frame is a
letterboxed master, a taller one is a different shape and gets no tag.

And the route row picked up provider facts only when discovery reran. On
a sparse panel `get_vod_info` can answer with no year and no TMDB id, so
the movie key is unchanged, nothing reruns, and the row keeps stating
nothing — leaving `audioDiffersFactually` one-sided and the dub warning
unreachable on exactly the switch it exists for. It now takes those facts
on without rediscovering, merged onto the existing row so a probe result
already sitting there survives.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(portals): a codec is not a dub, and two waits needed a switch guard

Three findings from review.

The "dub may differ" warning compared audio CODECS. AAC and AC3 routinely
carry the same dub, and two AC3 tracks can carry different ones, so it
fired on every identical-language re-encode and stayed silent on the dub
changes it exists for — wrong in both directions, which is worse than
absent, because a warning people learn to ignore is not a warning. Worse,
the previous commit made it reach the common route-to-alternative switch
for the first time, so the false claim was about to get louder.

It now reads a new `audioLanguage`, taken from the track's language tag
and never from the codec. `audio` stays as a display fact. Few panels tag
a language, so the warning is usually silent — the same answer the rest
of this feature gives when it does not know.

`failover()` validated only the session across its wait for a discovery
in flight. The session moves when the FILM does, so a source the user
picked — or the route stream they restarted — during that wait was then
treated as the thing that failed and switched away from. It claims and
rechecks a switch generation, as the pinned path already did.

And the scan's ASCII branch could not find "Ça" from a folded "ca", while
the non-ASCII branch found "Ca" from "Ça" — so whether two playlists
could see each other depended on which one was open. Each ASCII letter
now carries its accented forms, derived by decomposition rather than
tabulated, so it cannot drift from the normalizer.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* test(portals): pin what the declared audio shape can and cannot say

The array shape the mock server and many panels send carries a codec and
no language, so the dub warning is silent for every source arriving that
way. Asserted rather than assumed, alongside the ffprobe shapes that do
carry one — otherwise a later reader sees an unused field and wires the
codec back into the warning.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(portals): a failed pin read must not export as "no pins"

Three findings, all in code from this session.

Backup called the lenient `listForPlaylist`, which turns a failed read
into `[]`. Since `e0ebbeaf` made restore treat `sourcePins` as
authoritative — clearing the playlist's pins before applying it — an
export whose read failed produced a file that looks complete and wipes
every pin on restore. Losing them is bad; losing them through the one
feature meant to protect them is worse. Backup now uses a strict listing
that throws, so the export fails instead.

The diacritic map stopped at U+024F, which is tidy and leaves Vietnamese
out: `ố` is U+1ED1, the normalizer folds it to `o`, and the scan filtered
those rows out before confirmation. Latin Extended Additional is included
now; the filter decides what belongs, so the range only has to be wide.

And two panels spelling one language differently (`eng` vs `en`, or
`en-US`) raised a dub warning between identical tracks. Tags are
canonicalized before comparison — 639-2 collapses to 639-1, both German
forms meet at `de`, regions drop, and `und` becomes nothing. Anything
that survives longer than three characters is not a language code, so the
comparison is declined rather than guessed.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(portals): stop two backup paths from deleting pins they never read

Two data-loss paths, both P1, both mine.

A web export wrote `sourcePins: []`. Pins are Electron-only, so out
there we cannot read them — which is not the same as knowing there are
none, and restore treats the collection as authoritative. A backup made
in the browser was therefore an instruction to delete every pin the
moment it was imported on the desktop. There are three answers here, not
two: pins exist, there are none, and "could not look". The last omits
the field, exactly as an archive written before pins existed does. The
same rule now covers Electron with the bridge method missing.

I had written a test asserting the unreachable-store case resolves to an
empty list "because a backup made there is complete". That reasoning was
wrong: empty was true of what the runtime could see, never of the
playlist.

Restore also cleared the playlist's pins and then wrote the archive's one
by one. A write failing partway left the previous pins already gone and
only a prefix applied — a state belonging to neither, reported as a
failure the user could not undo. `DB_REPLACE_VOD_SOURCE_PINS` does the
clear and every write in one transaction, so the playlist ends up as the
archive describes it or exactly as it was.

4grayandClaude Opus 5 80af9257a0 refactor(portals): share external-button and position-writer logic (#1298)
The Xtream and Stalker VOD detail views each carried a private copy of two
behaviours: deriving the Play/Stop button state from the active external
(MPV/VLC) session, and throttled persistence of the inline player position.
A Play button or a resume point that behaves differently per portal is the
kind of divergence users notice, so both now read from one implementation.

Extracts `createExternalPlaybackButtonState` and
`createInlinePlaybackPositionWriter` into portal/shared/util, and lifts the
Stalker VOD download errand into its own helper. Behaviour is unchanged; the
shared helpers are deliberately identical to the copies they replace.

This also brings both hosts back under the 400-line ESLint limit, neither of
which was baselined:
  vod-details.component.ts          389 -> 333
  stalker-catalog-detail.component  394 -> 325
  vod-details-playback.service.ts   345 -> 275

4grayandClaude Opus 5 9885178f32 fix(stalker): refresh stale embedded-series snapshots from favorites and dashboard (#1253)
Favorites and recently-viewed rows store Stalker items as full JSON
snapshots, so a vclub-style embedded series[] episode list froze at the
moment the row was written: a series favorited when only episode 1 was out
kept showing one episode forever when opened from favorites, recents,
Continue Watching, or any dashboard rail.

New withStalkerSnapshotRefresh() store feature renders the stored snapshot
immediately and re-fetches the item from the portal in the background via a
title search (get_ordered_list&type=vod&search=..., matched by id, paginated
up to 5 pages, wildcard-category retry), patching fresh episodes and cmd into
the active selection. The patch is guarded on both the item id and the active
playlist id, since Stalker ids are only unique per portal.

Only the in-memory selection is patched — the stored snapshot row is
deliberately left alone, because every entry path into the detail view runs
this refresh and writing it back would add an uncontrolled background writer
to the whole-playlist read-modify-write that every favorite/recent mutation
performs.

Also fixes the stalker-mock-server embedded-series scenario, which generated
series[] as objects the app's vclub adapters filter out instead of the
episode-number arrays real portals send.

Regular type=series and Ministra is_series items are unaffected; Xtream is
unaffected (get_series_info is never cached).

4grayandClaude Opus 4.7 008bafbaae fix(recently-viewed): persist clear-all for M3U and Stalker playlists
Batch removal fanned out per-item read-modify-write calls against the
playlist's recentlyViewed JSON column via Promise.all, racing each other so
only the last write persisted. Group non-Xtream items by playlistId and use
a new removeFromPlaylistRecentlyViewedBatch helper that filters all
identities in a single read-filter-write per playlist.

4grayandClaude Opus 4.7 39ddaa2f9c perf(recents): batch Xtream remove-recent-item into a single IPC call
Clearing all recents of a given content type fired N concurrent IPC calls,
each opening its own implicit transaction in the recently_viewed table.
For users with hundreds of recently-watched VOD/series rows this added
real overhead even though the UI updates optimistically.

Add a new DB_REMOVE_RECENT_ITEMS_BATCH path end-to-end:
- removeRecentItemsBatch() Drizzle op: one transaction, one prepared
  statement reused per row
- Wire through worker → IPC handler → preload → window.electron typings
  → DatabaseService
- UnifiedRecentDataService.removeRecentItemsBatch() groups items by
  source. Xtream items go through the new batch IPC. M3U/Stalker items
  still go per-playlist because they update a JSON column on the
  playlist row, not the recently_viewed table — but they now run in
  parallel with the Xtream batch via a single Promise.all.
- Single call site updated: unified-collection-page "Clear all of type"
  confirmation handler.
