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).

* feat: add strip country prefix setting
* feat: scope country-prefix stripping to live content and cover missing surfaces
- narrow the heuristic: pipes always strip, dash/colon separators only
when the prefix is a short uppercase tag ("UK - BBC One" strips,
"Sky - Sports F1" and "Mission: Impossible - Fallout" stay intact)
- fall back to the original name when stripping would leave nothing
- scope stripping to live content only: grid type (live/itv/radio),
playback isLive, external sessions without contentInfo, dashboard
cards with contentType 'live'
- cover previously missed surfaces: M3U player EPG timeline header,
M3U inline player title, radio player, dashboard live rails
- replace hardcoded settings strings with translate keys and add
SETTINGS.STRIP_COUNTRY_PREFIX(_DESCRIPTION) to all 18 locales
- add unit specs for the utility plus regression specs for
channel-list-item and external-playback-dock

* test: cover strip-country-prefix call sites for codecov
- dashboard-rail: new spec for cardTitle live/movie/series scoping
- grid-list: strip enabled/disabled, VOD passthrough, 'No name' fallback
- portal-inline-player: live strip vs VOD passthrough
- unified-live-tab: timeline channel name strip + M3U name precedence
- video-player: timeline/radio/inline titles with the setting on and off
- settings-store: default false + persisted true round-trip
- settings-form.utils: new spec for form default and ?? false fallback

On Windows with a light OS theme, scrollbars rendered light even when the
app was switched to dark. Two combined causes:
- The page never declared `color-scheme`, so Chromium colored native
scrollbars from the OS preference. Declare `color-scheme: light` on html
and flip it to `dark` via `html:has(> body.dark-theme)` plus the
`.dark-theme` block itself.
- Scrollbar styling referenced `--mat-sys-*` tokens, which are never
emitted by the current Material theme setup (mat.define-theme +
all-component-themes does not produce system tokens). Those
`scrollbar-color` declarations computed to `auto`, falling back to the
native (light) scrollbar. Switch scrollbar styling to the `--app-muted-color`
design token (defined for both themes), replace hardcoded white
`rgba(255,255,255,.08)` thumbs, and add an explicit `scrollbar-color`
where only `scrollbar-width: thin` was set.
Verified live in Electron via CDP in both themes: scrollbar-color resolves
and scrollbars render dark in dark theme regardless of the OS setting.

Adds IMDb rating sort and minimum-rating filtering for Xtream VOD/series catalogs, consolidates refinement controls, and guards rating controls away from Live TV.
Audit found 10 list-rendering components (each >150 lines, all using
signal-based state) on default change detection. Default CD re-checks
every binding on every parent CD cycle (mouse moves, EPG progress
ticks, etc.); under OnPush these only re-check when their own signals
change or when explicitly markedForCheck.
All 10 use signals exclusively for state (no manual subscribe-and-mutate
patterns), so the conversion is straightforward and safe.
Components:
- recent-playlists (740L) — homepage playlist list with drag-drop
- vod-details-route (552L) — Xtream VOD detail page
- playlist-switcher (509L) — workspace shell playlist switcher
- season-container (444L) — Stalker/Xtream series episodes (DoCheck preserved)
- stalker-search (362L) — Stalker search results
- search-results (350L) — Xtream search results
- category-management-dialog (199L) — manage Xtream categories
- recently-added (162L) — Xtream recently-added rail
- category-content-view (Catalog) — category browse page
- grid-list (shared) — generic grid renderer used across portals
Tests: 124 passed across all touched lib projects.

When a search filter inside a category produces zero results, the grid
@empty fallback used to render the EMPTY_CATEGORY view ("No content in
this category" with the empty-tv illustration). That message was
misleading — the category itself wasn't empty, only the search filter
excluded everything.
grid-list now takes a searchTerm input and branches the @empty fallback:
when a search is active it renders the NO_SEARCH_RESULTS view with the
parameterised "No results found for {term}" title, otherwise it falls
back to EMPTY_CATEGORY as before. category-content-view derives the
searchTerm signal from the ?q= query param and passes it through.
Also: bump the NO_SEARCH_RESULTS icon from a 64px mat-icon to a clamp()
sized icon (120-180px) at 0.5 opacity so it visually balances with the
SVG illustrations used by the other viewTypes, swap the icon to
search_off (struck-through magnifier) so it reads as "no results"
rather than "search now", and fix the EN i18n typo
("change you search request" -> "change your search request").
