* test(db): cover playback positions, recently viewed, and connection migrations
Add specs for the previously untested persistence paths: playback-position
and recently-viewed operations (upsert/dedup/ordering/scoped deletes),
shared-database path-utils, createTables and the tolerant column/index
migrations incl. Xtream cache deduplication. Exposes createTables through
the existing __databaseConnectionTestHooks object.

* test(xtream): cover the Electron DB-first data source and favorites guards
Add specs for electron-xtream-data-source (DB-hit vs cold-cache paths,
concurrent request dedup, error propagation, full method delegation) and
extend the favorites feature spec with the invalid-input and
content-not-found guard paths.

* test(epg): cover archive/summary utils and the EPG worker service
Add specs for the pure catch-up window and summary-progress helpers shared
by the EPG panels, and for epg-worker.service: in-flight dedup by URL,
double-settle guard, progress-aware timeouts, worker lifecycle and error
broadcasting. Also settle an interrupted fetch in epg.events.spec that
caused "Cannot log after tests are done" in longer runs.

* test(e2e): add downloads page and EPG timeline interaction coverage
Downloads: empty state without sources, and a full lifecycle - authorize a
folder via a stubbed native dialog, download from a local server, verify
the completed item and file on disk, remove it from the UI. Timeline: zoom
changes block widths and the on-air info affordance opens the programme
dialog with the correct title and watch-live action.

* test: split oversized specs to meet the file-size guideline
Address review feedback: extract shared drizzle mocks into
operations.test-helpers.ts and split the Electron data-source delegation
spec into delegation + user-data files. Pure reorganization - test counts
and assertions unchanged (29/13/10), all files now under 300 lines.

* test(e2e): wait for DB readiness before opening the downloads page
On slow CI runners (macOS) the renderer can query SQLite while the DB
worker is still creating tables, leaving the downloads page on its
skeleton state forever. Poll a playlist read until it succeeds before
navigating on a cold profile.

* fix(build): exclude *.test-helpers.ts from the electron-backend app tsconfig
The new operations.test-helpers.ts uses jest globals and broke the webpack
build and tsc typecheck, which compile every non-spec file in the app.
Exclude the test-helpers pattern alongside the existing spec exclusions.

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

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

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

Replaces the vertical EPG list with a shared horizontal `app-epg-timeline`
ribbon across all live surfaces (M3U player, unified live tab, Xtream, Stalker):
zoom, day navigation, short-programme grouping, catch-up/timeshift, and
per-state empty views. Backend gains timezone-aware `datetime()` comparisons,
unscoped source fallback, non-ASCII candidate matching, and chunked candidate
queries.
Timeline split into reusable, view-agnostic modules (archive/summary/dialog
service/render util/scroll controller) for the future EPG list view.
Fixes landed during review:
- honor the controlled `selectedDate` input (seed via linkedSignal)
- restore ribbon position across collapse/expand
- keep the ribbon mounted when scrolling across a gap day
- don't trigger block playback on Enter from nested watch/info buttons
- don't reset timeshift playback on the 30s now-tick during EPG gaps
Greptile 5/5 (safe to merge); Codex clean; CI green.
* fix(settings): show current release notes
* fix(updater): use app version for local release notes
* fix(settings): constrain release note images
* fix(settings): prefer current notes without updates
* feat(ui): add custom title bar window controls for Windows and Linux
Hide the native title bar on win32/linux (titleBarStyle: 'hidden', frame
untouched so native resize borders and snapping keep working) and render
minimize / maximize-restore / close buttons in the renderer, mirroring the
existing macOS traffic-light setup.
- New WINDOW:* IPC contract (minimize, toggle-maximize, close, get-state)
handled in window.events.ts, resolved from the sender WebContents;
close goes through win.close() so window-bounds persistence still runs.
- WINDOW:STATE_CHANGED pushed on maximize/unmaximize/fullscreen so the
maximize/restore glyph stays correct for OS-triggered changes; controls
hide while fullscreen.
- WindowControlsComponent mounts once in app-root as a manual popover so
it stays in the browser top layer above CDK overlays (dialogs,
multi-EPG) - same behavior as macOS traffic lights.
- Theme-aware via CSS vars (--app-on-surface, --app-hover-overlay);
Windows-red close hover. Drag regions get right padding through a
body-level frameless-platform class.
- Gated by RuntimeCapabilitiesService.usesCustomWindowControls; PWA and
macOS never mount the controls.
Includes unit specs for the component and IPC handlers, an Electron E2E
suite (window-controls.e2e.ts), and a window-chrome section in
docs/architecture/workspace-shell.md.

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

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

* fix(playback): handle IPTV proxy URLs without file extensions
IPTV proxy servers (Acexy, Xtream Codes, etc.) use query-string URLs
like `https://proxy.example.com/ace/getstream?infohash=abc` that return
raw MPEG-TS streams without a file extension in the path.
`getExtensionFromUrl()` was returning garbage for these URLs (e.g.
`com/ace/getstream` from splitting on dots across path segments). All
four player backends then misrouted the stream — typically to HLS.js
which failed because the response is raw MPEG-TS, not an HLS manifest.
Root fix: rewrite `getExtensionFromUrl()` to extract the extension from
the last path segment only, returning `undefined` when there is no
dot-separated extension.
Player adjustments: treat `undefined` extension as MPEG-TS (the most
common format for live IPTV proxy streams) across all four backends
(HTML5, ArtPlayer, VideoJs, web-player-view).
* test(m3u-utils): cover URL extension parsing
* fix(playback): preserve query-declared stream extensions

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

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

Three queries filter on categories.hidden = false:
- getGlobalRecentlyAdded — every dashboard load (now sorts by added DESC
on the indexed content side after the prior CAST removal)
- searchContent — Xtream search with excludeHidden
- globalSearch — global Xtream search with excludeHidden
All three start from content and join into categories on the
category_id PK. The hidden filter is then applied per-row, requiring a
row lookup for every result candidate — even before LIMIT.
Add a partial covering index on categories: idx_categories_visible(id,
playlist_id, type) WHERE hidden = 0. Two wins:
- Covering: SQLite serves the join (id) plus filters (playlist_id,
type) and the hidden = 0 predicate directly from the index without
ever touching the categories row.
- Partial: hidden categories are absent from the index, so they're
pruned before any work happens — no row lookup, no comparison.
Schema mirrored in Drizzle so the ORM stays the single source of
truth. CREATE INDEX IF NOT EXISTS so existing DBs pick it up on next
startup with no migration needed.

The existing single-column indexes force a sort step for the most common
list queries. These three composite indexes let SQLite scan in index
order and skip the sort entirely:
- recently_viewed(playlist_id, viewed_at DESC):
getRecentItems(): WHERE playlist_id = ? ORDER BY viewed_at DESC LIMIT 100
- favorites(playlist_id, position, added_at DESC):
getFavorites/getGlobalFavorites/getAllGlobalFavorites():
WHERE playlist_id = ? ORDER BY position ASC, added_at DESC
- playback_positions(playlist_id, updated_at DESC):
getRecentPlaybackPositions(): WHERE playlist_id = ? ORDER BY updated_at DESC LIMIT 20
CREATE INDEX IF NOT EXISTS so existing DBs pick up the new indexes on
next startup with no migration required. Mirrored in the Drizzle schema
using sql\`col DESC\` so the ORM stays the source of truth.

SQLite's recommended approach for keeping query plans current: cheap when
nothing needs analyzing, runs incremental ANALYZE on tables/indexes that
have grown significantly since the last run. Wrapped in try/catch since
optimize is advisory and must never block connection close.
Applied to both the main connection and the EPG worker connection.

Pair the existing journal_mode=WAL with the companion pragmas it needs to
actually pay off, and reduce read latency on hot query paths.
- synchronous=NORMAL: ~2-10x faster writes when paired with WAL. Safe — only
risks losing the last committed txn on power loss; DB stays consistent.
- cache_size=-64000: 64MB page cache (default is 2MB).
- temp_store=MEMORY: keep sort/group temp tables in RAM.
- mmap_size=268435456: 256MB memory-mapped I/O for reads.
Applied to both connection sites: the main read-write/read-only connection
in libs/shared/database and the EPG worker connection in electron-backend.
The per-connection pragmas (cache_size, temp_store, mmap_size) apply to the
read-only agent-backend connection too.
Inspired by matracey/iptvnator@4ad8f88; ported manually since the file has
diverged significantly and the worker connection didn't exist in that fork.
