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
fix(m3u): highlight active archive epg program
* Store the active archive EPG program with the resolved playback URL so the clicked M3U catch-up row stays highlighted during archive playback.
* Show archive playback state and return-to-live controls in the inline player panel.
* Hide duplicate EPG program rows that share the same time slot while keeping the richer provider entry.
Register an "Switch player to Embedded MPV" command in the Cmd+K command
palette so the embedded MPV player can be activated like the other players.
Visibility is gated on an async getEmbeddedMpvSupport() check, mirroring the
Settings dropdown so the command only appears when embedded MPV is usable.
Generalizes the per-command visibility flag from desktopOnly to a `requires`
discriminator ('none' | 'managed-external' | 'embedded-mpv').

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.
Adds IMDb rating sort and minimum-rating filtering for Xtream VOD/series catalogs, consolidates refinement controls, and guards rating controls away from Live TV.
- save Xtream playlist details through browser-safe metadata persistence in PWA\n- keep PWA Xtream data source cache in sync with current playlist metadata\n- cover dialog close timing, stale cache, and PWA data-source bootstrap regression
