4gray 78df3e7dbb fix(portals): match Greek titles whichever sigma the provider typed (#1310)
Greek Σ has two lowercase forms — medial σ and word-final ς — and neither the
candidate query nor the confirmation treated them as one letter.

The GLOB scan built each character's class from a one-way reach that only
arrived at ς when it started from ς, so a request for "ΑΣ" never admitted a
stored "Ας". Classes are now built from a fold group — every character sharing
an uppercase form — derived by scanning the cased ranges at module load the way
ACCENTED_BY_BASE already is. It generalises past sigma on its own: dotless ı
folds with i, long ſ with s, historic Cyrillic letterforms with В Д О С Т Ъ Ѣ.
Only the 24 groups of 767 that a per-character fold would miss are kept.

Admitting the row was only half of it. normalizeTitleKeys then compared "ασ"
against "ας" and discarded it, because toLowerCase picks the sigma form by
position. Both SQL tiers already folded them together — SQLite's trigram
tokenizer does full Unicode folding natively, unlike LOWER() — so the JS
confirmation was the only tier that did not, making this a pre-existing gap on
the FTS path as well. Normalization now rewrites ς to σ after lowercasing,
which is what Unicode case folding does.

Guards unchanged: a case mapping that changes length (ß → SS, İ) or a GLOB
metacharacter still returns null rather than a partial pattern.

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.

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

* 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.

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

* 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`.

* 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.

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

* 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.

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

* 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.

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

* 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.

* 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 f80eb4d1b9 fix(playlist): open playlists handed over by the OS (#1299)
Opening an .m3u/.m3u8 file from the command line or a file association did
nothing. The renderer parsed `process.argv` and sent an `OPEN_FILE` IPC event
that had no `ipcMain` handler and no preload channel, so `sendIpcEvent` logged
it as an unknown type and dropped it.

The path now belongs to the main process, which is where the OS actually
delivers it:

- argv is parsed on first launch (skipping the executable and Chromium
  switches) and normalized to an absolute path;
- macOS gets an `open-file` listener registered before `whenReady`, since
  Launch Services never puts the path in argv;
- the single-instance guard forwards a second launch's argv and working
  directory instead of discarding them, so opening a playlist against a
  running app works too.

Requests are queued in the main process until the renderer subscribes to the
`OPEN_FILE` push and drains the queue, which closes the startup race. The
import itself reuses the existing file path, so persistence, playlist-scoped

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

4gray bfad82c26c fix(settings): stop settings silently reverting on restart (#1272)
Settings live in the renderer's IndexedDB, and two failure modes made them look
saved while nothing reached disk.

A second app instance sharing the same userData directory cannot take the
Chromium storage lock, so its renderer reads defaults and every write is
dropped. The app now holds a single-instance lock and focuses the running window
instead of starting a rival copy. The lock is requested after the userData
override so E2E runs with their own data dir keep independent locks, and after
Squirrel event handling. IPTVNATOR_ALLOW_MULTIPLE_INSTANCES=1 opts out for local
CDP debugging.

updateSettings() patches in-memory state before persisting and the submit path
had no rejection handler, so a failed write produced an unhandled rejection and
no user-visible feedback. SettingsStore now records which half of the round trip
failed, and the settings page surfaces it through a dismissible error snackbar;
the dialog stays open on failure so the save can be retried.

Two follow-ups from review, both wider than the report:

- a second launch now re-creates the main window when the lock owner has none
  left, so closing the last window on macOS no longer leaves a second launch
  quitting silently with nothing on screen
- App.onMainWindowCreated() re-runs window-owned bindings for every rebuilt
  window, so the downloads broadcaster stops holding a destroyed window. This
  also fixes the same bug on the pre-existing dock `activate` path.

4gray e55d55b47f feat(mock-data): add shared screenshot-safe poster catalog (#1271)
Moves the fictional movie catalog into `libs/shared/marketing-fixtures` so the
Xtream and Stalker mocks describe the same titles, and adds 20 rendered posters
plus the shared fixture types behind them.

Supporting changes made while getting it green:

- `shared-marketing-fixtures` is classified Tier B in the coverage policy. Not
  Tier A: it is fictional fixture data, so a statement percentage over it means
  nothing, and a Tier A entry would pull it into the merged coverage map and the
  ratchet. Tier B still runs its spec in CI. `stalker-mock-server` needs no entry
  of its own — it is already Tier C and the Tier B/C runner falls back to
  `pnpm nx test <project>`, so its new `marketing-poster-url.spec.ts` runs.
- Two release-capture defects the catalog reorder introduced, both fixed in
  `tools/release/capture-app-driver.ts`:
  - VOD stream ids are `MARKETING_VOD_STREAM_ID_BASE + index` and the generator
    now lists the showcase movies first, so 62000-62002 became Black Harbor, The
    Paper Astronaut and Summer Static while the dashboard seeding still mapped
    those ids to the previous titles' backdrops.
  - the raw `tsx` spawn of the Xtream mock lacked `--tsconfig
    tsconfig.base.json`, so the mock could not resolve
    `@iptvnator/shared/marketing-fixtures` and the capture never started. Both
    mock projects' own serve targets already passed the flag.

Adds contract-focused regression coverage for the Electron HTTP server,

production file disappears from a project or from the merged Istanbul report.

The old `coverage:ci` exited 0 despite a `Failed to collect coverage`

and effects.ts is reported as 0/159 instead of silently disappearing.

seams.

4gray 1ab82b04a1 refactor(deps): drop uuid for a shared crypto-based id helper (#1266)
Supersedes #1252 and #872. uuid 14 is ESM-only, apps/web/jest.config.ts only
kept v9 working by mapping `^uuid$` at a `wrapper.mjs` that v14 no longer
ships, and the specifier also has to be synced in
libs/shared/m3u-utils/package.json or @nx/dependency-checks fails lint.

All four call sites only used `v4()`, so the dependency goes away instead.
`createRandomId()` prefers `crypto.randomUUID()` and falls back to building the
same v4 shape from `crypto.getRandomValues()` — that fallback is load-bearing,
because randomUUID is only exposed in secure contexts and the self-hosted PWA
is regularly served over plain http on a LAN address. getRandomValues stays
available there, and it is what uuid's own v4 used.

`@types/uuid` goes too; it only existed for the untyped v9 package.

4gray 9ae53e4515 fix(playback): make the "Show subtitles" setting reach the web players (#1269)
The persisted subtitle preference only ever had an owner behind the default-off
shared web-controls flag, so with the shipping controls it did nothing: Video.js
never read it, ArtPlayer declared the input but never used it, and the HTML5
player only ran a one-shot pass after play() resolved — before hls.js had added
its text tracks. No portal host bound the input at all, so it never reached
Xtream or Stalker pages either.

Extract the source-local track controllers into the adapter-free
WebVideoSourceTracks and have WebVideoSourceControlsBridge wrap it, so both
controls modes apply the preference through the same code. The preference-off
players bind it directly (VjsLegacyTracks for Video.js), and
WebPlayerViewComponent reads the preference from SettingsStore instead of an
input so every host inherits it.

The preference means different things depending on who renders the caption UI:
shared controls stay authoritative for the session, while vendor chrome is
source-default — the preference seeds each new source and is released once the
media reports playing, so the engine own caption menu keeps working. Mode
selection is an optional playbackStarted probe passed to the HLS, native and
Shaka helpers; in that mode the HLS helper deselects the track rather than
hiding it, since subtitleDisplay would silently override the vendor menu.

Closes #1155

4grayandClaude Opus 4.8 a5bb8dc25c fix(tmdb): series cast was the latest season only, not the show (#1242)
* fix(tmdb): series cast was the latest season only, not the show

TMDB documents a TV id's `credits` as the credits of the LATEST SEASON.
We requested exactly that and rendered it as "the cast", so every
long-running show lost every regular who had left: The Boys showed
whoever appears in the newest season, not the ensemble.

The TV details request now also appends `aggregate_credits`, which spans
the whole run — but per TMDB omits the newest season, so neither payload
alone is the cast. `unifiedTvCast` unions them: whole-run billing order
first, then people who appear only in the newest season, deduplicated by
person id. Characters come from the aggregate `roles[]` shape.

Deliberately NO cache-key bump. Rows cached before this simply lack
`aggregate_credits` and keep the previous behaviour until they expire,
which avoids invalidating every user's details cache twice — the roadmap
schedules one consolidated bump once the remaining append_to_response
additions (images, certifications, alternative_titles) land together.

Movies are untouched: /movie/{id} has no aggregate_credits and its
`credits` is already the full cast.

Tests: departed regulars retained, newest-season arrivals appended after
show billing order, characters read from roles[], no duplicates across
the two payloads, graceful fallback for pre-aggregate cache rows.

* fix(tmdb): reserve cast slots so newest-season arrivals survive the cap

The union was appended aggregate-first and then truncated to ten, so on
exactly the shows it was built for — long-running ones, where the
whole-run cast alone exceeds the limit — every newest-season arrival was
sliced back off. The original fixture had two aggregate members and
could not catch it.

unifiedTvCast now holds back up to three slots for the top-billed
arrivals instead of appending them where the cap discards them, and
gives the slots back when nobody is new.

Tests: a 12-member aggregate plus two arrivals keeps both arrivals and
top billing; an aggregate with no arrivals still gets all ten slots.

* test(tmdb): split the series-cast suite out of the merge spec

The merge conflict resolution put both new describes back into
tmdb-merge.spec.ts, pushing it to 499 lines — past the 400-line
max-lines cap. The aggregate-credits suite moves to its own file.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(tmdb): stop the cast union from shrinking, and bound what it caches

Three follow-ups from a review pass over the aggregate-credits union:

- The reserved arrival slots were subtracted from the aggregate even when
  the aggregate was shorter than the cap, so a show with four regulars and
  five newcomers returned seven names instead of nine. The reservation is
  a floor for arrivals now, not a quota.
- An aggregate member's character came from the first role with any text,
  so a one-episode cameo could outrank the part the actor is known for.
  Pick the role with the most episodes.
- aggregate_credits carries a show's whole-run cast AND crew, and details
  payloads are cached verbatim — orders of magnitude of JSON for a list
  the merge truncates to ten people. Cache the billing-order prefix and
  drop the crew nothing reads.

Extracting the people-related helpers into tmdb-credits.ts keeps
tmdb-merge.ts under the line cap.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(tmdb): keep the aggregate ids the arrival check depends on

Trimming the cached cast to its top 40 broke the property it was supposed
to preserve: `known` is built from the aggregate ids, so a returning actor
billed below the cut read as a new arrival on the cached path and took a
reserved slot. The same show then showed a different top ten on its second
open than on its first.

Keep the whole cast, and cut the two things nothing reads instead: the
aggregate crew, and every `roles[]` entry except the one the merge picks
(most episodes). A merge over the trimmed payload now provably returns
what a merge over the full one does — covered by a test that runs both.

Also points CLAUDE.md and the doc's module table at tmdb-credits.ts, where
the credit helpers now live.

* docs(tmdb): add the release note for the series-cast fix

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(tmdb): let the cache trim reuse the merge's own role choice

The trim picked the role with the most episodes; the merge picks the
NAMED role with the most episodes. TMDB uses unnamed roles for uncredited
appearances, so a member whose blank role outranked their real one lost
their character on every render after the first.

Both now call pickAggregateRole, which is the point — two copies of the
same choice are what let them drift.

Also adds a test pinning the property the earlier truncation defect broke:
the displayed cast is the cap or everyone available, whichever is smaller.
Which people make the cut at the cap is the reservation's job and is
deliberate; the count is not negotiable.

* docs(tmdb): state the aggregate-credits contract as TMDB actually words it

TMDB describes the endpoint in one sentence that contradicts itself: "it
does not return the newest season. Instead, it is a view of all the entire
cast & crew for all episodes belonging to a TV show." The doc and the code
comment asserted the first half as settled fact.

The union never depended on that reading — arrivals are a set difference,
so under "whole run" they are simply empty — but the comment implied an
assumption the code does not make. Say what TMDB says, note the ambiguity,
and note why either reading is safe.

4grayandClaude Opus 4.8 0b967d66d4 feat(tmdb): metadata cache panel with a clear button in settings (#1244)
* feat(tmdb): metadata cache panel with a clear button in settings

Adds "Metadata cache — N entries · X MB" with a Clear button to
Settings > Metadata (TMDB), next to the API key it belongs to.

Three things it is good for: dropping stale or wrong metadata so the next
open refetches it, seeing what the cache actually costs on disk, and
reclaiming rows that a lookup-key version bump has orphaned — a bump makes
rows unreachable, not deleted, so nothing else would ever collect them.

Sizing the cache is a full table scan (LENGTH() on TEXT counts characters,
so the SUM casts to BLOB to get bytes), which is why stats load lazily and
only once the TMDB section is the active one rather than on every settings
open. Clearing is always safe: enrichment refetches on demand, so the only
cost is the next few requests.

Works in both environments — the PWA has no bridge, so the service reports
and clears its session-scoped in-memory map instead.

i18n: 4 keys across all 19 locales via the tools/i18n workflow;
placeholder integrity verified. Contract fixtures updated for both the
preload bridge and the DB-worker payload shapes.

* fix(tmdb): make cache clearing durable and stop reporting failures as empty

Four review findings, all real:

- A metadata write already in flight when the user cleared would land
  afterwards and silently restore what they removed. Writes now carry the
  generation they started in; a write that outlives a clear is dropped
  (PWA) or undone (Electron).
- The PWA byte count used String.length, i.e. UTF-16 code units, so
  localized payloads under-reported and disagreed with the SQLite BLOB
  byte count. TextEncoder now measures actual bytes.
- A failed stats read returned a valid zero-entry result, so the panel
  claimed an empty cache and disabled Clear while rows were still there.
  getStats/clear now return null on failure and the panel says so instead
  of inventing state.
- No behavioural coverage existed for either side.

Tests: SQL ops (entry/byte reporting, empty table, missing row, delete
count) and the service (encoded bytes, clear count, and a write racing a
clear).

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(tmdb): make the cache clear precise and version skew visible

Review follow-ups on the cache panel:

- A write that was in flight when the user cleared used to trigger a
  second full-table clear once it landed, which also deleted anything
  written in between. clear() now waits for the writes issued before it
  and lets the single clear take them; later writes survive.
- An Electron shell without the maintenance ops fell through to the
  renderer map, which is always empty there — it reported an empty cache
  and disabled the Clear button while SQLite was full. Both operations
  now report unsupported instead.
- Component coverage for the panel (deferred scan, clear + re-read,
  failed clear, failed read) and Electron-path service coverage.
- The canonical IPC and settings sections of the enrichment doc, plus
  the matching CLAUDE.md lines, now list the maintenance ops.

* fix(tmdb): drop Promise.allSettled from the cache clear

The web target compiles against lib es2018, so allSettled broke the
Windows frontend build (TS2550). The pending writes swallow their own
errors, so a plain Promise.all over neutralized promises does the job.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(tmdb): keep a synchronous bridge throw inside the cache write

Moving the write into a tracked promise dropped the try/catch that used
to cover the call itself, so a bridge that threw synchronously would
escape set(). Wrap it in an async IIFE, which turns that back into a
rejection the same handler swallows.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(tmdb): retry the cache size read when the section is reopened

The effect skipped the read once cacheError was set, so one transient
IPC failure left the panel showing "could not read the cache" for the
life of the settings page — and the only enabled control that could
shift it was the destructive Clear button. Gate on the stats signal
alone: reopening the section retries.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(tmdb): queue writes that start while the cache is being cleared

Awaiting the in-flight writes closed one side of the race and left the
other open: a set() that started during that wait dispatched its IPC
immediately, was absent from the snapshot, and could reach SQLite just
before the delete — so a row written after the user clicked Clear was
removed anyway.

clear() now holds its own promise for the whole operation and set() waits
on it, which puts such a write on the far side of the delete. Rows are
stamped when they are dispatched rather than when set() was called, since
a write may have waited. Covered by a test that fails without the guard.

* docs(tmdb): add the release note for the cache panel

The panel drives IPC and SQLite, and nothing exercised that path end to
end. The new test seeds a row through the preload bridge — enrichment
itself needs a TMDB key that CI does not have — then opens the section,
asserts the reported size, clears, and reads the database back to confirm
the row is gone rather than merely hidden.

Verified both ways: dropping the DELETE from clearTmdbMetadata fails it.

Settings nav buttons gained a data-test-id so the section can be opened
without matching translated labels.

4grayandClaude Opus 4.8 d76b2d2a57 fix(tmdb): stop a broken provider tmdb_id from suppressing enrichment (#1239)
* fix(tmdb): stop a broken provider tmdb_id from suppressing enrichment

Providers ship dead and stale tmdb_id values, and enrich() trusted them
unconditionally:

    parseProviderTmdbId(query.tmdbId) ?? await resolveIdBySearch(...)

A garbage-but-integer id short-circuited the title search entirely. The
details fetch then 404'd, the outer catch swallowed it, and the item was
left permanently unenriched — no plot, no cast, no artwork — for a title
the search would have matched. Failed detail fetches cache nothing, so
the wasted request repeated on every re-open. The stale-but-valid case
was worse: it never threw, nothing sanity-checked the resolved title, and
we confidently rendered another film's metadata.

enrich() now treats the provider id as a hint. If it fails to resolve, or
resolves to something whose title matches none of the search variants we
would have queried, the confidence-gated title search gets its turn — and
proven-bad ids are negative-cached (7d, language-independent row) so the
404 is not repeated forever.

Deliberately NOT a hard rejection on title mismatch: TMDB returns titles
in the REQUEST language, so a Russian provider title legitimately fails
the name check against an en-US payload. A mismatch only lets the search
compete; when the search finds nothing confident, the provider payload is
kept. The change can therefore only add enrichment, never remove it.

Extracts the search resolution and the bad-id cache into
TmdbIdResolverService — tmdb-enrichment.service.ts was at 290 lines
against the 300-line target, and the resolver is independently testable.

Tests: new tmdb-enrichment.service.spec.ts covers the happy path issuing
exactly one details call and no search, 404 fallback, stale-id override,
the keep-the-payload safety property, bad-id skip, and the no-match case;
matcher spec covers detailsMatchProviderTitle and the namespaced cache key.

Refs docs/architecture/tmdb-roadmap.md A1.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(tmdb): only blame a provider id when TMDB confirms it does not exist

Review found the bad-id negative cache too eager in two ways, both of
which could deny enrichment to items whose id was fine.

1. Any failure recorded the verdict. A 401, 429, 5xx or an offline blip
   would mark a perfectly valid id as dead for seven days, so after the
   service recovered — or the user fixed their API key — titles that the
   search cannot resolve confidently stayed unenriched until the marker
   expired. TmdbApiService now throws a typed TmdbApiError carrying the
   status, and only a confirmed 404 is recorded.

2. Title mismatches were recorded too. That id EXISTS; it is merely wrong
   for this item. The row is keyed by id alone and shared across
   playlists, so a stale mapping on one item disabled the direct lookup
   for every other item that legitimately used the same id. Mismatches
   are no longer cached at all — the search verdict is cached anyway, so
   the repeat cost is a single details fetch.

Documents the row kind in the cache contract, which listed only two of
the (now six) lookup_key shapes.

Tests: 404 records, 429 does not, network error does not, mismatch does
not.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(tmdb): keep provider details when the competing search fails

detailsForProviderId only runs the search to see whether it can beat a
title-mismatched provider payload. A throw from that best-effort search
(offline, rate limit, 5xx) propagated to enrich()'s outer catch and threw
away details we already had — the searched-details fetch right below it
was already tolerant. Fail to the details in hand instead.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(tmdb): decide a suspect provider id on evidence, not on the title

The title check alone was both too weak and too dangerous.

Too weak: normalizeTitle strips trailing years, so "Blade Runner 2049"
carrying the 1982 film's id matched and the wrong film was rendered —
exactly the stale-id case this was meant to catch.

Too dangerous: an ALL-CAPS leading token reads as a language tag, so
"IT - Chapter Two" normalizes to "chapter two". The correct payload
failed the name check, and a year-less search for "chapter two" would
confidently return the 1979 film and overwrite it. Master trusted the
provider id here and got it right.

assessProviderId weighs both signals: title or year agrees means use the
details; both years known and incompatible means the search may take
over; a title-only mismatch is inconclusive and keeps the details. The
search branch now always has a year, so its own gate corroborates
whatever it returns instead of matching on name alone.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(tmdb): do not search after a transient provider-id failure

enrich() reads a null from detailsForProviderId as "the id is unusable,
try the search". A 401/429/5xx/offline failure gave it that null, so an
outage turned into a second request that would fail too — and if it did
come back, a title match replaced a provider id that was probably fine.
Only a 404 falls through to the search now; everything else rethrows and
leaves the id retryable.

* fix(playlists): serialize per-playlist collection writes to prevent lost updates

All per-playlist mutations (portal favorites, recently viewed, playlist
meta/favorites updates) used an uncoordinated read -> patch -> replace-whole-row
pattern, so two overlapping mutations on the same playlist were last-write-wins
and silently dropped each other's changes (flagged by Greptile on PR #1253).

Chain every read-modify-write through a per-playlist promise queue
(Map<playlistId, Promise>) inside defer(), covering both the SQLite upsert and
IndexedDB update paths while keeping the Observable-based public API, laziness,
and emitted values unchanged. A failed mutation does not wedge the queue, and
different playlists are not serialized against each other.

Regression coverage: overlapping favorite+recently-viewed adds, two rapid
favorite adds, IndexedDB-path overlap (all three fail on the old code), plus
queue-continues-after-error and cross-playlist independence guards.

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

* fix(playlists): close serialization gaps flagged by review bots

Greptile P1 (writers bypassing the queue): route updateManyPlaylists and
updatePlaylistPositions through the same per-playlist write queue. Auto-refresh
batch writes now re-read the stored row inside the queue and preserve
user-owned fields (favorites, recently viewed, position) instead of writing a
pre-refresh snapshot over them; position updates re-read and patch inside the
queue on both storage paths.

Codex P1 (callers precompute stale snapshots): add an atomic
PlaylistsService.transformPlaylistFavorites(playlistId, transform) that applies
the favorites transform to the freshly-read row inside the queue, and convert
every read-then-set call site to it: UnifiedFavoritesDataService M3U
add/remove/clear/reorder and Stalker reorder/clear, GlobalFavoritesService M3U
removal, DashboardDataService M3U removal. Reorders now keep concurrently
added favorites (appended after the dragged order) instead of dropping them.

New coverage: overlapping favorites transforms, auto-refresh batch write vs
queued favorite add, position update vs queued favorite add, and a public
addFavorite race through UnifiedFavoritesDataService; existing specs updated
to the transform-based contract.

* fix(playlists): share the canonical refresh merge with the auto-refresh batch

The batch path previously spread the stale refresh snapshot over the freshly
read row and pinned only favorites/recently-viewed/position, so a queued
metadata mutation (hiddenGroupTitles, curated EPG sources) finishing before
the refresh write could be reverted. Extract updatePlaylist's merge into
mergeRefreshedPlaylist() and use it for both the single-playlist update flow
and updateManyPlaylists: refresh-owned data (parsed content, count, EPG
detection) comes from the payload, user-owned state comes from the current
row, and manual/disabled EPG configuration is resolved through
resolvePlaylistEpgSourceState instead of being overwritten.

Regression test: queued hiddenGroupTitles meta update overlapping an
auto-refresh batch write keeps both the metadata change and the refreshed
content, including preserved manualEpgUrls.

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

* fix(playlists): let the current row decide autoRefresh during batch refresh

The batch path force-set autoRefresh: true after the merge, so disabling
auto-refresh while a refresh was in flight was reverted by the completing
write. Drop the override — mergeRefreshedPlaylist already prefers the current
row's autoRefresh over the snapshot — and add a count fallback to the snapshot
value for rows without a stored copy.

Regression test: disabling auto-refresh concurrently with the batch write
keeps autoRefresh false while still applying the refreshed content.

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 Fable 5 4d63f76407 perf(stalker): skip wasted series-seasons request for non-series items (#1241)
`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.

4grayandClaude Opus 4.8 8e1320cb34 feat(tmdb): series production-status chip and person death dates (#1240)
Two fields TMDB already sends us and the merge threw away — no new API
calls, no cache-key bump, they light up on existing cached payloads.

Series detail views (Xtream and Stalker) gain a production-status chip:
"Ended" tells you a show is finished before you commit to it, "Returning"
that it is not. TMDB returns `status` as an ENGLISH string even under
language=ru-RU, so it is normalized to a stable token
(normalizeSeriesStatus) and rendered through translated labels
(seriesStatusLabelKey). Unknown values are dropped rather than shown, so
a status TMDB adds later can never leak raw English into 19 locales.

Person pages render `deathday`, which mapPersonProfile has always parsed
into ActorProfile and no template ever read.

i18n: 7 keys across all 19 locales via the tools/i18n workflow.
Tests: status normalization (token mapping, case-insensitivity, the
British "cancelled" spelling, unknown/missing dropped).
Docs: tmdb-metadata-enrichment.md, CLAUDE.md.

4grayandClaude Opus 5 4ca2b6852e feat(playback): Up Next episode rail for the inline series player (#1231)
* feat(playback): Up Next episode rail for the inline series player

On wide windows the inline series player now docks left and fills the
leftover stage column with a Netflix-style "Up Next" rail: the rest of the
current season plus next-season spillover, the playing episode highlighted,
and watch-progress bars from playback positions. Clicking an episode plays
it inline through the host's existing episode flow (Xtream serial-details
and Stalker series view).

- New app-up-next-rail component + buildUpNextRailItems() util in
  ui/playback; entries carry the host's raw episode object so selection
  needs no id lookup.
- PortalInlinePlayerComponent measures the theater stage with a
  ResizeObserver and docks the rail only when the leftover beside the 16:9
  player is >= 320px; narrower stages keep the centered theater/ambient
  behavior from #1223. Movies and live never show the rail.
- New playerUpNextRail setting (Settings > Playback, default on, built-in
  web players only), mirroring playerAmbientMode; enforced at runtime for
  non-web engines.
- i18n: SETTINGS.PLAYER_UP_NEXT_RAIL(+_DESCRIPTION) and PORTALS.UP_NEXT in
  all 18 locales.
- The rail renders as an opaque panel on top of the stage, so the ambient
  fill stays behind it.

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

* fix(playback): address Greptile review on the Up Next rail

- Stage overflow: `.player-shell__viewport` had no border-box sizing (the repo
  has no global reset), so the docked-rail modifier's 12px padding widened the
  stage past its container and the right edge was clipped.
- Width gate: compute the width the rail actually receives (stage minus the
  docked layout's padding, the height-driven 16:9 player, and the flex gap)
  instead of raw stage slack, and observe the stage's border box so the
  modifier's own padding cannot feed back into the measurement.
- Stalker lazy seasons: Ministra VOD-series seasons hold no episodes until
  opened, so the rail's next-season spillover stopped at the current season.
  Prefetch the following season while an episode plays inline.

Adds regression coverage for the gate boundary, gate stability across the
padding toggle, and the lazy-season prefetch.

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

* fix(stalker): stop the rail spillover prefetch from retrying forever

A failed or genuinely empty Ministra season resets isLoading while leaving
episodes empty, so the prefetch effect re-requested the same season on every
emission for as long as inline playback continued. Remember which seasons this
view already requested and ask at most once each.

Regression test asserts the empty-response case fetches exactly once and does
not retrigger on further playback in the same season.

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

* fix(stalker): let a failed spillover prefetch recover on the next episode

The previous guard was permanent, so a transient network or authorization
failure disabled the rail's next-season prefetch for the component's lifetime.
Distinguish the two outcomes instead:

- Answered (even with zero episodes) — a real answer, never asked again.
- Failed — the claim is released, but pinned to the episode that triggered it,
  so the retry waits for the next playback change. Retrying immediately would
  loop, since the failure itself flips isLoading and re-runs the effect.

The claim is taken synchronously; awaiting first let the isLoading flip re-run
the effect and fire a duplicate request before the answer arrived.

`loadEpisodesForSeason` now reports whether the portal answered; existing
callers ignore the result and are unaffected.

4grayandClaude Opus 5 f852bc7459 fix(playlists): report failed playlists in the startup auto-refresh toast (#1235)
The startup auto-refresh always opened the
`HOME.PLAYLISTS.AUTO_REFRESH_UPDATE_SUCCESS` snackbar, even when the backend
had dropped playlists it could not refresh. Isolating per-playlist failures
(#1233) means the result set is lossy by design, so an unreachable source that
now fails within `PLAYLIST_FETCH_TIMEOUT_MS` produces a false success toast.

`autoUpdatePlaylists()` now returns `AutoUpdatePlaylistsResult` — the refreshed
playlists plus one outcome per requested playlist (`updated` / `failed` /
`skipped`), in request order — on top of the existing bounded-concurrency
refresh. The renderer derives the message from those outcomes:

- all updated -> `AUTO_REFRESH_UPDATE_SUCCESS` (unchanged)
- some failed -> `AUTO_REFRESH_UPDATE_PARTIAL` (error styling, dismissable)
- some failed and some skipped -> `AUTO_REFRESH_UPDATE_PARTIAL_WITH_SKIPPED`
- none updated -> `AUTO_REFRESH_UPDATE_FAILED` (error styling, dismissable)
- only sourceless playlists left over -> `AUTO_REFRESH_UPDATE_SKIPPED`

Playlists with neither a URL nor a file path are reported as skipped rather
than failed, since there is no source to refresh them from. The mixed
failed+skipped message exists because the plain partial text names only
updated/total/failed, which would leave the skipped playlists as an
unexplained remainder. Titles of unresolved playlists are logged for
diagnosability.

Tests: five new `electron.service` cases (one per message branch), outcome
assertions across the existing `playlist-auto-update` and `playlist.events`
specs, and an Electron E2E that restarts the app against a killed playlist
server — verified to fail against the old unconditional toast.

4grayandClaude Fable 5 bd07e17857 feat(m3u): DASH + ClearKey playback via Shaka Player (#1225)
* feat(m3u): extract ClearKey DRM from #KODIPROP playlist lines

Adds the typed ChannelDrm model (shared interfaces) and a KODIPROP
post-processing step in createPlaylistObject() — the single funnel for all
four playlist import paths. Parses inputstream.adaptive.license_type,
license_key and drm_legacy; ClearKey keys accepted as kid:key hex pairs,
W3C ClearKey license JSON, or a plain kid→key JSON map. Unsupported license
types (Widevine/PlayReady/license URLs) are preserved with supported=false
so playback can surface a DRM diagnostic instead of failing silently.
Also adds isDashStreamUrl/isDashChannel helpers for DASH routing.

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

* feat(playback): add Shaka DASH source engine with ClearKey support

Introduces ShakaVideoSession (libs/ui/playback/src/lib/shaka-engine/): a
lazily imported shaka-player engine (separate lazy chunk, ~217 KB transfer)
owning attach/configure/load with an operation queue and generation guard
against channel-switch races. Channel ClearKey config maps to
drm.clearKeys; channels with an unsupported license type emit a
DrmOrEncryption diagnostic without starting an engine. Shaka errors are
classified into the existing playback diagnostics
(PlaybackDiagnosticSource.Shaka).

Wires the engine into both built-in players like hls.js/mpegts.js:
- HTML5: extension === 'mpd' branch in playChannel(); hls/mpegts/native
  glue extracted to helpers to keep the component within the size budget
- ArtPlayer: customType 'mpd' in ArtPlayerSourceSession (+ getDrm seam)
- Shared controls: WebVideoControlsSource kind 'shaka' +
  WebVideoShakaControls using the Shaka 5 text model (selectTextTrack(null)
  hides subtitles; Player.setTextTrackVisibility no longer exists)

Adds a CJS shaka-player jest stub (video.js precedent) for web specs.

* feat(m3u): route DASH channels to the inline Shaka-capable player

DASH (.mpd) channels always play in a built-in web engine (radio
precedent): external MPV/VLC cannot receive KODIPROP ClearKey
configuration (VLC upstream #29465) and Video.js has no DASH bridge yet.

- shouldShowInlinePlayer() bypasses the external-player setting for DASH
- new shouldAutoLaunchExternalPlayer() guard consolidates the MPV/VLC
  auto-launch conditions in the m3u-state effects (incl. catch-up path)
- the M3U page overrides the player for DASH channels: ArtPlayer stays
  ArtPlayer, everything else falls back to the HTML5 player
- ChannelDrm is passed through ResolvedPortalPlayback into the synthetic
  player-view channel

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

* test(e2e): add offline DASH ClearKey fixtures and e2e coverage

Fixtures (apps/web-e2e/src/fixtures/dash/): ~4s VP9+Opus DASH, clear and
CENC-encrypted variants with fixed synthetic ClearKey credentials.
Content synthesized by ffmpeg; encryption done by Shaka Packager because
ffmpeg's mp4 muxer writes senc-only metadata (Chromium needs saiz/saio)
and cannot produce the subsample encryption the VP9 CENC binding
requires. Generation script + README document regeneration.

web-e2e (Chromium): import an M3U with KODIPROP ClearKey via raw text,
verify encrypted and clear DASH actually play (currentTime advances, no
diagnostic banner) and that an unsupported license type (Widevine)
surfaces the DRM diagnostic. Fixtures are served through Playwright route
interception with HTTP Range support; the Angular service worker is
blocked since SW-routed requests bypass interception.

electron-backend-e2e: the same happy path + negative against a local
Range-aware fixture server — the automated proof that ClearKey EME works
in the real Electron runtime (file:// secure context).

* fix(playback): interrupt stalled Shaka loads and destroy failed engines

Two review findings on the ShakaVideoSession lifecycle:

- stop()/start() now tear the current player down immediately instead of
  queueing the destroy behind the in-flight operation. Shaka's destroy()
  interrupts a pending load() (LOAD_INTERRUPTED), so a stalled manifest
  fetch can no longer wedge the operation chain and block the next
  channel start (Codex P1).
- A rejected attach()/load() now destroys the failed player after
  emitting the diagnostic, so a non-functional engine never stays
  attached to the media element or exposed to the shared-controls
  bridge (Greptile P1).

Regression tests cover both paths. The Shaka fakes are consolidated into
a shared jest-free test double that mirrors the destroy-interrupts-load
semantic, and the ArtPlayer source-session spec is split (fixtures +
DASH cases) to stay within the max-lines lint budget.

* fix(m3u): unify DASH URL detection with playback extension normalization

isDashStreamUrl() used the simpler getStreamExtensionFromUrl(), so URLs
the player engines classify as DASH (stream.MPD, ?ext=mpd, ?format=mpd)
were not routed to the Shaka-capable inline player and lost their
ClearKey metadata with Video.js or external players configured
(Codex P2). The normalized getPlaybackMediaExtensionFromUrl() now lives
in @iptvnator/shared/m3u-utils (re-exported unchanged from the playback
lib) and both routing and engine selection share it.

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

* chore(lint): satisfy CI lint and CodeQL in DASH support files

- replace shell-built tar/npm commands with execFileSync arg arrays in
  the fixture generator (CodeQL: uncontrolled shell command)
- give jest stub methods explicit bodies (no-empty-function)
- compact the diagnostic label switches in WebPlayerViewComponent to
  stay under the max-lines budget

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

* fix(playback): tear down the Shaka engine on critical error events too

A non-recoverable Shaka error emitted after a successful load left the
dead engine attached to the media element and exposed to the
shared-controls bridge (Greptile P1, round 2). Critical error events now
destroy the player right after the diagnostic is emitted, matching the
load-failure path.

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

* fix(m3u): honor DASH catch-up URLs and drop unusable DRM fallbacks

Two Codex round-2 findings:

- The inline-playback DASH gate only examined the channel URL, while the
  external-player guard checks the resolved catch-up URL — a replay that
  resolves to an .mpd manifest with MPV/VLC configured ended up with no
  player at all. The gate now uses the effective playback URL
  (activePlaybackUrl ?? channel.url).
- The unsupported-DRM diagnostic advertised MPV/VLC fallback actions,
  but external players cannot receive the KODIPROP license config either
  — the diagnostic no longer recommends them.

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

* fix(playback): suppress unusable external fallback for ClearKey DRM failures

Runtime DRM errors on channels that carry KODIPROP ClearKey config (wrong
or rotated keys) advertised MPV/VLC fallback actions, but external
players never receive the license config — the fallback could only fail
differently. DRM-classified diagnostics from such channels no longer
recommend external players; clear channels keep the hint.

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

* fix(m3u): symmetric DASH inline gate and lazy DRM for pre-upgrade playlists

- The inline DASH gate is now true when either the channel or the
  resolved catch-up URL is DASH, mirroring the external-player guard —
  a .mpd channel whose catch-up resolves to .m3u8 no longer ends up
  with no player at all.
- Playlists imported before the DRM feature carry no drm field, but the
  raw KODIPROP block survived in the stored items; the M3U page now
  falls back to extractDrmFromRaw(channel.raw) at playback time, so
  encrypted channels work without a re-import (Channel gains raw?).

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

* docs: sync the DASH/Shaka contract across agent docs

Mirrors the DASH/Shaka source-engine contract into AGENTS.md and adds
Shaka to the shared web-video bridge descriptions in CLAUDE.md and the
player-controls contract; documents the lazy raw-KODIPROP DRM fallback
for pre-upgrade playlists in the M3U architecture doc.

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

* fix(playback): reset the media element for rejected DRM and widen ClearKey fallback suppression

- Switching from a playing stream to an unsupported-DRM DASH channel
  loads no new source, but play() still ran and the un-loaded element
  could resume the previous stream underneath the diagnostic banner.
  The HTML5 player now resets the element instead of playing.
- Any inline failure on a KODIPROP ClearKey channel (manifest, codec,
  media, network — not just DRM-category errors) is unsolvable in
  MPV/VLC, which never receive the license config; the external
  fallback hint is now suppressed for all diagnostics of such channels.

* fix(playback): restore suppressed DASH captions when the preference re-enables

The Shaka bridge dropped the auto-selected text track with
selectTextTrack(null) when showCaptions was off, but did not remember it
— re-enabling the preference mid-session left captions permanently off
(HLS/native bridges already restore). The session now remembers the
suppressed track id and reselects it via the bridge's caption-state pass;
suppression is also skipped when no track is active. Covered by session
and new WebVideoShakaControls specs.

* feat(playback): show media title overlay in fullscreen shared controls

In fullscreen with the shared player-controls layer, a pointer-transparent
overlay at the top of the player now names the content while controls are
revealed: one line for movies and live channels, two lines for series
(series name + S01E03 label). The overlay follows the bar's auto-hide
transition and stays hidden outside fullscreen, where page chrome already
names the content.

Data flows top-down: the Xtream/Stalker series detail views pass the series
name via a new PortalInlinePlayerComponent.seriesTitle input (Xtream episode
playback titles carry the episode name, not the series), the inline player
builds the two-line form from the episode metadata label, and
WebPlayerViewComponent falls back to playback.title for movies/channels
while skipping raw stream-URL fallbacks. All four shared-controls hosts
(HTML5, Video.js, ArtPlayer, Embedded MPV frame-copy) forward the value.

To stay under the max-lines limit, scrub/timeline state is extracted into
ControlsTimeline and the playback-diagnostics display helpers into
web-player-view-diagnostics.utils.ts, with behavior unchanged.

genrichh93-ui 188f5c4b56 feat(downloads): pause and resume support for the download manager (#1147)
Adds a paused state to the Electron download manager with a full partial-file lifecycle:

- Pause keeps the .part and byte progress; cancel discards them; every lifecycle stage (queued, active, mid-transfer) is pausable.
- Resume continues via HTTP Range with If-Range entity validation (strong ETag / Last-Modified persisted in the new resume_validator column, idempotent migration incl. legacy-table rebuild). Non-206 answers restart from zero over the same .part; the 206 Content-Range offset is verified; responses that end before the advertised size are retained for a Range retry instead of being committed as completed.
- Crash recovery converts interrupted transfers to paused, keeps queued-with-partial rows resumable, and commits finalizations that crashed before the DB update.
- Destination collisions are non-destructive (retained partials finalize to the next numbered name); locked .part files never lose their DB owner across cancel/remove/restart; resume claims rows atomically and the queue dedupes ids.
- Stored request headers are re-filtered through the User-Agent/Origin/Referer allowlist on read, URL-derived extensions are sanitized, resume appends never follow symlinks, and transfer errors are logged by message only.
- UI: pause/resume/cancel/retry/remove surface failures in a snackbar; paused items show an active Resume button in VOD/episode detail views; translations for all 18 locales.
- Runtime split into download-runtime/transfer/finalize/broadcast modules; +30 unit tests and an Electron E2E covering pause -> retained .part -> Range/If-Range resume -> byte-exact assembly.

4grayandClaude Fable 5 0273ded8e2 fix(tmdb): resolve season number from title markers for per-season series slices (#1229)
* fix(tmdb): resolve season number from title markers for per-season series slices

Providers often slice a show into per-season catalog items ("The
Mandalorian (2 season)", "Пацаны 2 сезон", "The Boys S05") and renumber
the single contained season to 1, so season enrichment fetched the wrong
TMDB season (season 1 metadata for a season 2 item).

- new season-marker.util.ts in shared/interfaces: extractSeasonFromTitle
  (word-first, number-first and S-form markers, bracketed or trailing)
  and resolveEnrichmentSeasonNumber (title marker wins only for
  single-season items whose provider number disagrees)
- wired into Xtream enrichSerialSeasonWithTmdb and the Stalker
  series-view season service (cache/overlay still keyed by provider

* fix(stalker): wait for the season map before TMDB season fetch

The TMDB match can arrive before the async season resource; fetching
then passed seasonCount 0, suppressed the title-marker override and
cached the wrong season forever (fetchSeason is idempotent). The effect
now reads the season map tracked and skips while it is empty —
overlay-driven re-runs are safe because fetchSeason early-returns per
(tmdbId, seasonKey).

Addresses Greptile review on #1229.

* fix(stalker): reset season selection on detail-to-detail navigation

The router reuses the series view for detail-to-detail navigation, and a
retained season selection let the NEW item's tmdb_id pair with the
PREVIOUS series' season context in the TMDB fetch effect, poisoning its
idempotent per-season cache before the new season resource loaded. The
selection is now a linkedSignal keyed on the displayed item's identity —
compared inside the computation, since displayItem produces a fresh
object on every recomputation.

Addresses Greptile review round 2 on #1229.

* fix(stalker): include the resolved season in the TMDB season cache identity

Per-season slices of one show share (tmdbId, provider season key "1")
but resolve to different TMDB seasons — plain key idempotency served the
first slice's episodes to every later slice. Each cache entry now
records the resolved season it was fetched for: a call resolving a
different season refetches and overwrites (also self-healing a fetch
made with stale navigation context), an in-flight marker dedups
concurrent runs, and a superseded fetch may not store its result.
Failed fetches stay uncached so later triggers retry.

Addresses Codex review (P1) and Greptile review round 3 on #1229.

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

* fix(stalker): drop a mismatched season cache entry before its replacement fetch

If a replacement fetch (same key, different resolved season) failed, the
previous slice's entry stayed visible indefinitely through overlay() and
descriptions(). The mismatched entry is now removed up front, so a
failed replacement falls back to provider data until a retry succeeds.

Addresses Codex review (P2) on #1229.

* fix(stalker): title-based season reset identity and o_name marker support

- The season-selection reset identity now combines provider id and title:
  distinct items can share or lack provider ids, and an id-only identity
  retained the previous item's selection across such navigation
- The season marker is read from whichever title field carries it via
  pickSeasonMarkedTitle: providers put the descriptive title in o_name
  while name stays generic, and the show-level match already used o_name

* fix(stalker): gate TMDB season fetch on resource coherence, not selection resets

Resetting the parent season selection on item identity change (previous
round) silently disabled enrichment after detail-to-detail navigation
between items sharing one season-key set: the season container keeps its
own selection and deduplicates seasonSelected emissions, so the parent
key stayed null forever. The reset is gone; instead the fetch effect
gates on coherence — it waits while the season resource reloads (the
window in which a reused component pairs the new item's tmdb_id with the
previous item's map) and requires the selected key to exist in the map
with episodes. Stale-snapshot fetches remain self-healing through the
resolution-aware cache.

Addresses Codex review (P2) and Greptile review round 5 on #1229.

4grayandClaude Opus 4.8 5aa44d19d4 feat(tmdb): clickable director/creator chips and directing credits on person pages (#1227)
* feat(tmdb): clickable director/creator chips and directing credits on person pages

Directors were plain merged text — no photos, no navigation — while the
data was already sitting in the cached TMDB payloads (credits.crew and
created_by both carry id + profile_path; they just were not typed or
parsed).

- tmdb-merge: enrichedDirectors (crew, job === 'Director', deduped by
  person id) and enrichedCreators (created_by) produce the same chip
  shape as the cast (TmdbEnrichedCastMember) into a new tmdb_directors
  field on all three merges (Xtream VOD, Xtream series, Stalker); types
  widened (crew id/profile_path, created_by id/profile_path).
- Detail views (shared VodDetailsComponent, Xtream vod/serial routes,
  Stalker series view) render the Director row as clickable avatar chips
  when tmdb_directors is present — same markup and openActor handler as
  the cast strip — falling back to the plain text otherwise. Stalker
  re-normalization allowlist preserves the new field.
- Person pages: mapPersonFilmography now merges combined_credits.crew
  (jobs Director/Creator) into the filmography — acting wins the
  per-title dedup, directing-only titles show the job in the character
  slot. Everything else (library matching, All-portals scope, filters,
  search fallback, back button) works unchanged because the person page
  is role-agnostic. Existing caches work as-is: crew/created_by were
  always part of the stored payloads.

Tests: merge spec (director/creator chips + crew-row dedup ×3 merges),
person spec (crew credits, Producer excluded, acting-wins dedup),
stalker-vod.utils passthrough. Docs updated (CLAUDE.md + architecture).

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(tmdb): address director-pages review — split oversized spec, stable track keys, translated crew roles

- tmdb-merge.spec.ts grew past the 400-line lint ceiling — the Stalker
  merge suite moved to tmdb-merge-stalker.spec.ts (fixes the CI Lint job).
- All cast/director chip loops now track by TMDB person id with an
  index fallback ('p<id>' / 'i<index>') instead of member.name — distinct
  people can share a name and creator payloads carry no dedup (greptile).
- Directing-only filmography credits carry the role in a new crewJob
  field ('Director' | 'Creator') instead of stuffing TMDB's raw English
  job into character; ActorViewComponent renders it through translated
  labels (XTREAM.CREW_JOB_DIRECTOR/CREATOR, added to all 18 locales via
  the i18n patch workflow, matching each locale's existing glossary —
  pt "Diretor", de "Regisseur") (Codex).

Tests: person spec asserts character/crewJob separation; merge suites
green after the split (15 + stalker file).

4grayandClaude Opus 4.8 db70b07093 feat(playback): theater stage and opt-in ambient fill for the inline portal player (#1223)
* fix(tmdb): purge obsolete search cache rows

* feat(playback): theater stage and opt-in ambient fill for the inline portal player

On wide-short windows the VOD/series inline player left a strip of app
surface next to the video: with `width: auto`, the viewport's `max-height`
transferred through `aspect-ratio` into a max-width (CSS transferred size
constraints), re-clamping the stage to 16:9 and leaving the leftover
outside it.

- Theater stage: give `.player-shell__viewport` a definite `width: 100%`
  so it always fills the content row; the player renders as the largest
  16:9 box that fits the stage height, centered — the leftover is always
  the stage's black background, never app surface (YouTube-style
  letterbox). Applies to every inline engine.
- Ambient fill: new `playerAmbientMode` setting (default off, Settings >
  Playback, web players only) renders a blurred, dimmed copy of the
  poster behind the player, filling the letterbox margins. Enforced at
  runtime too: Embedded MPV never gets the extra DOM layer. Live channels
  and non-http(s) poster URLs are excluded.

Verified live via CDP at 1720x760 (stage 1362x532, player 946x532 with
symmetric 208px margins) and 1280x950 (stage exactly 16:9, no bars).

4grayandClaude Fable 5 bc6e7018e0 fix(epg): harden three latent edges from the #1165 manual-mapping review (#1214)
* fix(epg): harden three latent edges from the #1165 manual-mapping review

Follow-up to #1165 (manual EPG-to-channel mapping). Three minor but real
issues flagged by the bot reviews on #1173, all in already-merged #1165
code rather than the Stalker delta:

1. EPG program dedup ignored source_url. The unique index and upsert key
   (channel_id, start, title) collapsed programmes imported from different
   XMLTV sources that shared those columns, and the upsert reassigned
   source_url to the last importer — so source-scoped queries could miss a
   programme and source-scoped deletes could drop another source's row.
   The key and index now include source_url (migrated via a _v2 index that
   drops the old source-blind one); the upsert no longer overwrites
   source_url.

2. Xtream getMapping fallback capped candidate streams at an unordered
   first five, so a mapping saved under a later stream sharing the
   provider epg_channel_id was silently ignored. Replaced the two-step
   fetch-then-lookup with a single content⋈categories⋈mappings join that
   finds a mapping under any matching stream, with no arbitrary cap.

3. The Xtream mapping dialog did not refresh after closing, unlike the
   Stalker path, so a remapped visible/selected channel kept its stale
   preview until the 5-minute TTL or a rescroll. Added
   EpgQueueService.invalidate(streamId) and a before/after mapping compare
   in the channel-list dialog flow that invalidates the cache and refetches
   the current viewport when the mapping actually changed.

Tests: source-aware dedup index/upsert assertions; join-based getMapping
resolution regardless of stream position; EpgQueueService.invalidate.

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

* fix(epg): address review feedback on the #1165 follow-up

- portal-channels-list: forward the already-validated playlistId into the
  mapping dialog instead of re-reading currentPlaylist() after the async
  getEpgMapping roundtrip (which could return undefined on navigation)
- EpgQueueService.invalidate(): bump a per-stream invalidation epoch and
  clear inFlight so a request already running when the mapping changes has
  its (pre-change) result discarded via an epoch check in fetchEpg, and the
  immediate re-enqueue can schedule a fresh mapping-aware fetch
- getMapping Xtream fallback: order the join deterministically before
  limit(1) so the resolved mapping is stable; documented that this backend
  layer has no caller playlist context and is a best-effort net behind the
  renderer's playlist-scoped resolution

Tests: in-flight staleness discard for invalidate().

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

* test(epg): split EpgQueueService invalidation specs under the max-lines limit

The added invalidate() tests pushed epg-queue.service.spec.ts to 415 lines,
over the 400-line ESLint cap (and the baseline must not grow). Moved them to
a focused epg-queue-invalidation.spec.ts; both files are now under the limit.

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

* fix(epg): resolve second-order review findings on the mapping follow-up

Two P2 issues Codex raised on the previous fixes:

- Unscoped program lookups could return the same programme twice now that
  the dedup index preserves per-source rows: the M3U timeline calls
  getChannelPrograms without sourceUrls, so two sources sharing
  channel/start/title both surfaced. Added toEpgProgams(), which collapses
  duplicate channel|start|title slots after mapping/validation, applied at
  every getChannelPrograms return.
- EpgQueueService.fetchEpg unconditionally cleared the in-flight marker in
  its finally, which could drop a marker a re-enqueued request took over
  after invalidate(). It now only releases the marker when the completing
  request still owns it (epoch unchanged), preserving per-stream dedup and
  concurrency accounting.

Tests: unscoped duplicate-slot collapse; stale request preserving a fresh
in-flight marker.

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

* fix(epg): deduplicate program rows in SQL before applying row limits

Codex follow-up: the JS-level slot dedup ran after the SQL LIMIT, so
duplicate cross-source rows consumed the cap and truncated real data.
Moved the dedup into SQL with GROUP BY, applied before the limits:

- selectChannelPrograms / selectLegacyChannelPrograms: GROUP BY
  (channel_id, start, title) before ORDER BY start LIMIT 500, so the
  timeline cap counts distinct programmes rather than duplicate rows
- selectCurrentProgramsForChannelIds: GROUP BY channel_id before
  LIMIT channelIds.length, so duplicate cross-source current slots can't
  starve other channels of their current-programme preview

The JS toEpgPrograms() dedup stays as a safety net (e.g. legacy NULL-source
rows the unique index treats as distinct). Test query-chain mocks updated
for the new groupBy link.

4grayandClaude Fable 5 402382421c feat(matching): strip appended language/quality tags in title normalization (#1211)
* feat(matching): strip appended language/quality tags in title normalization

Real-world portal catalogs duplicate one show under dozens of tagged
variants ("|ALB| Fallout", "4K-DE - The Pitt (2025) (US)",
"Breaking Bad-eng", "Fallout_esp", "The Last of Us (2023) AF"). A third
of them normalized to polluted keys, silently skipping TMDB enrichment
and staying invisible to cross-portal title matching.

normalizeTitleKeys() now handles, conservatively:
- wrapped pipe tags:      "|ALB| X", "|MULTI| X"
- longer/compound leads:  "EXYU| X", "4K-DE - X", "AR-SUBS - X",
                          "4K-OSN+ - X" (dash/pipe only; colon stays
                          2-3 chars so "NCIS: LA" is untouched)
- underscore suffixes:    "X_eng", "(US)_msub" (single-underscore only,
                          "The_Last_of_Us" stays intact)
- double-dash suffixes:   "X--esp"
- joined dash tags:       "X-DE", "X-eng" (vocabulary-gated and
                          case-uniform only; "Spider-Man", "Kick-It",
                          "Peut-être" are untouched)
- bare trailing tags:     "X (2025) DE", "Breaking Bad ES" (UPPERCASE
                          vocabulary only, skipped for ALL-CAPS titles;
                          "Rocky II", "Made in USA", "Making It" are
                          untouched)

Every leading-tag segment must contain a letter, so numeric titles
("1917 - ...") are never treated as tags. The display-side
stripCountryPrefix() learns the same compound/plus-sign prefixes and the
numeric guard.

buildSearchLookupKey() gets a |v2 suffix so cached negative TMDB match
resolutions keyed on old polluted titles are invalidated.

Measured on 248 real catalog names from four shows (The Pitt, Fallout,
The Last of Us, Breaking Bad): clean matching keys 65% -> 99%, display
strip 91% -> 100%. The corpora are committed as spec fixtures.

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

* fix(matching): use ES2015-safe trailing trim in title normalization

String.prototype.trimEnd is ES2019; the shared-interfaces lib compiles
against an older lib target (TS2550 in typecheck:web). Replace with a
regex-based trimRight helper. Jest uses its own tsconfig, so this only
surfaced in the CI typecheck, not local unit runs.

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

* fix(matching): guard tag stripping against real-title false positives

Address code-review findings on the tag-stripping rules:

- underscore suffix is now vocabulary-gated, so "Mr_Robot",
  "Cowboy_Bebop", "Mrs_Davis" keep their second word
- leading single-segment tags before a spaced dash stay 2-3 chars
  (only hyphen-compounds like "4K-DE" and pipe-tags like "EXYU|" may be
  wider), so "DUNE - Part Two" and "ALIEN - Covenant" are left intact
- "IN" is excluded from the weak joined-dash/underscore paths so
  "drive-in" and "Plug-in" are not truncated (India still strips via
  the strong "IN| " / "IN - " forms)

The display-side stripCountryPrefix() mirrors the narrowed dash rule.
Corpus coverage is unchanged at 99% (245/248); new counter-example
tests lock in the guards.

4grayandClaude Fable 5 aa1941cf2c fix(embedded-mpv): stop native-view video jump by moving control menus into the dock (#1207)
* fix(embedded-mpv): stop native-view video jump by moving menus into the dock

Opening any control popover in the native-view embedded MPV dock used to
shrink the MPV view by a 300 px bottom cutout so the popover DOM stayed
clickable, which made mpv re-letterbox the video on every menu open/close.

All five menus now render horizontally inside the fixed-height controls
strip, so menu state never changes the native view bounds:

- volume expands as an inline horizontal slider next to the mute button
- audio/subtitle/speed/aspect morph the dock row into a back button, a
  panel title, and a scrollable chip ribbon (app-embedded-mpv-dock-panel)
  with wheel-to-horizontal-scroll mapping, edge fades, active-chip
  reveal/focus, roving arrow-key navigation, ellipsis + tooltips, and
  RTL-aware scrolling
- boundsProvider loses the menus.anyOpen() cutout branch and the
  MENU_OPEN_BOTTOM_CUTOUT_PX constant is removed; HIDDEN_BOUNDS for modal
  overlays is unchanged
- global arrow shortcuts (seek/volume) are suspended while a chip panel
  is open so arrows walk the chips; Esc, click-outside, and close-on-select
  semantics are preserved
- new EMBEDDED_MPV.PLAYER.BACK i18n key in all 18 languages

Regression coverage: the new dock-panels spec asserts the bounds provider
returns full host bounds while every menu is open (fails against the old
cutout behavior), plus panel morph/a11y/selection specs and a dedicated
dock-panel component spec (keyboard, wheel, tabindex, emits).

Frame-copy shared controls (app-player-controls) are untouched.

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

* fix(embedded-mpv): address native-view dock review feedback

Resolves the actionable P2 review comments on the dock rework:

- Inline volume no longer clips the dock actions. At sidebar-constrained
  player widths (~480-660px, viewport wider than the 720px breakpoint) the
  new in-flow volume slider widened the non-shrinking actions column and,
  under overflow:hidden, clipped the fullscreen button. Add min-width:0 to
  .embedded-mpv-player__actions and __volume-group so the inline volume (a
  scroll container) compresses its own slider instead of pushing neighbors
  off-edge. Verified in Chromium: fullscreen stays visible down to 480px.
- Space now selects a focused chip. onPanelKeydown stops Space/Enter from
  bubbling to the global shortcut handler (whose Space case preventDefault'd
  the button's native activation and toggled playback) without calling
  preventDefault itself, so the menuitemradio chip activates and emits
  chipSelected. Matches the WAI-ARIA menu activation-key expectation.
- Simplify dock-panel opener tracking: always remember the toggled kind so
  focus restoration is correct if in-panel switching ever becomes reachable
  (currently unreachable — the toggle buttons are removed from the DOM while
  a panel is open); restoreOpenerFocus still no-ops unless focus fell to body.

Not changed: the "closePanels no-ops when unavailable" comment — verified
unreachable (chip selection closes via menus.close() directly, not through
closePopovers; isAvailable() is engine-bound and the native dock only renders
while it is true, with engine handoff calling menus.closeAll()).

Regression test added for Space/Enter chip activation. The volume-overflow
fix is CSS layout (no jsdom layout engine) and was validated in a real
browser.

4grayandClaude Fable 5 c707af1334 feat(epg): manual EPG mapping for Stalker portals (#1173)
* feat(epg): manual EPG mapping for Stalker portals

Extends the manual EPG-to-channel mapping (PR #1165) to Stalker:

- shared key helper buildStalkerEpgMappingKey — playlist-scoped
  stalker:{playlistId}:{channelId} keys, mirroring the Xtream scheme
- ITV sidebar: right-click context menu with "Map EPG channel"; after
  the dialog closes with a change, the bulk EPG cache is rebuilt so the
  panel and row previews reflect the new mapping immediately
- withStalkerEpg().applyMappedItvEpg(): batch-resolves mappings for
  rendered channels (one getEpgMappingsBatch IPC per new id set) and
  overlays uploaded-XMLTV programs onto bulkItvEpgByChannel; overrides
  survive ensureBulkItvEpg reloads
- stream-resolver: mapping check in loadStalkerEpgItems (detail) and
  batched prefetch in loadStalkerEpgBatch (previews);
  mappingCandidateKeys/prefetchEpgMappings generalized beyond Xtream
- global favorites: stalker branch for the Map-EPG menu entry (item id
  extracted from the stalker::{playlistId}::{id} uid)
- docs: manual-mapping section in docs/architecture/stalker-epg.md and
  a CLAUDE.md EPG bullet covering the whole mapping feature
- tests: applyMappedItvEpg suite, stalker preview mapping in the
  stream-resolver spec, key-builder specs

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

* fix(epg): harden Stalker mapping edges found in adversarial review

- stream-resolver: stalker items resolve only the playlist-scoped
  mapping key — bare tvgId/name candidates (tvgId mirrors the raw
  provider id) could only produce false matches against unrelated M3U
  mappings, and previews would disagree with the detail path
- applyMappedItvEpg: staleness guard after every await so an in-flight
  call cannot write portal A's mapped EPG into portal B's state after
  a playlist switch (the store is a root singleton)
- applyMappedItvEpg: ids are marked checked only after a successful
  lookup — a transient IPC failure no longer suppresses the mapping
  for the rest of the session
- live layout: post-dialog refresh re-applies overrides for the
  unfiltered channel list, so an active search cannot drop the playing
  channel's mapping
- global favorites: new epgMappingChanged output emitted when the
  dialog actually changed a mapping; unified live tab reloads its EPG
  previews in response
