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).

`setSelectedItem` mirrored every selection's id into `selectedSerialId`, and
`serialSeasonsResource` fires a `get_ordered_list&type=series&movie_id=<id>`
portal request on every change of that id. Opening any Stalker detail page —
plain VOD, vclub items with embedded `series[]` (whose result
`mapRegularSeriesSeasons` discards), Ministra `is_series` items, and ITV
channel clicks — therefore issued a pointless request, on every entry path
(browse, favorites, recent, dashboard, search).
Set `selectedSerialId` only when `selectedContentType === 'series'`, clearing
it otherwise. The gate is deliberately on content type alone, not item shape:
under the `series` content type `serialSeasonsResource` is the only episode
source (the detail templates render `<app-stalker-series-view />` with no
`vodWithSeries` input, and `isVodSeries()` requires content type `vod`), so
gating on `is_series`/`series[]` would leave a series-section item carrying
either field with a silently empty episode list.
Adds selection-state and request-level regression coverage, and corrects a
stale invariant in the Stalker architecture docs.

Load the complete ITV channel list once per portal (Ministra get_all_channels with a paged crawl fallback) and use it for: full local search across every channel, per-genre category count badges, an all-channels paginated grid on Live TV entry, and eager bulk EPG so row previews appear without playing a channel. Censored (adult) genres absent from get_all_channels fall back to the legacy paged flow and show no badge. Includes mock-server support, unit + E2E coverage, and architecture docs.
Fix Stalker route initialization so full portal sessions load auth-capable playlist data before category/content requests. Add regression coverage for full playlist lookup, empty lookup fallback, fast-path explicit portal metadata, and authenticated request routing.
- Moved Stalker-related components and services from apps/web to libs/portal for better modularity.
- Introduced SQLite DB Worker to handle non-EPG database operations, improving UI responsiveness.
- Updated documentation for the Workspace Dashboard and Shell, detailing current implementation and routing structure.
- Added new EPG fixture scenarios to the Xtream mock server for testing purposes.
- Enhanced the overall architecture documentation to reflect recent changes and improvements.
