Channel-list rendering called EpgService.getCurrentProgramsForChannels(),
which forkJoined N getChannelPrograms() Observables — each firing its own
IPC round-trip and its own SQL query. For a 500-channel visible window on
first scroll, that was 500 IPC calls and 500 SELECTs hammering the EPG
table.
Add GET_CURRENT_PROGRAMS_BATCH IPC handler that takes the channel-id
array and runs a single SELECT with WHERE channel_id IN (...) AND
start <= now AND stop >= now. The renderer-side cache and TTL behavior
are preserved; only the network of IPC calls collapses to one. A
fallback path keeps the old per-channel behavior if the preload lacks
the new endpoint.
Per-channel display-name fallback (NOCASE id, then NOCASE display name)
is preserved from handleGetChannelPrograms so behavior matches the
existing single-channel handler.
Inspired by matracey/iptvnator@d25a7e8.

Clearing all recents of a given content type fired N concurrent IPC calls,
each opening its own implicit transaction in the recently_viewed table.
For users with hundreds of recently-watched VOD/series rows this added
real overhead even though the UI updates optimistically.
Add a new DB_REMOVE_RECENT_ITEMS_BATCH path end-to-end:
- removeRecentItemsBatch() Drizzle op: one transaction, one prepared
statement reused per row
- Wire through worker → IPC handler → preload → window.electron typings
→ DatabaseService
- UnifiedRecentDataService.removeRecentItemsBatch() groups items by
source. Xtream items go through the new batch IPC. M3U/Stalker items
still go per-playlist because they update a JSON column on the
playlist row, not the recently_viewed table — but they now run in
parallel with the Xtream batch via a single Promise.all.
- Single call site updated: unified-collection-page "Clear all of type"
confirmation handler.
