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).

Load the complete ITV channel list once per portal (Ministra get_all_channels with a paged crawl fallback) and use it for: full local search across every channel, per-genre category count badges, an all-channels paginated grid on Live TV entry, and eager bulk EPG so row previews appear without playing a channel. Censored (adult) genres absent from get_all_channels fall back to the legacy paged flow and show no badge. Includes mock-server support, unit + E2E coverage, and architecture docs.
Replaces the vertical EPG list with a shared horizontal `app-epg-timeline`
ribbon across all live surfaces (M3U player, unified live tab, Xtream, Stalker):
zoom, day navigation, short-programme grouping, catch-up/timeshift, and
per-state empty views. Backend gains timezone-aware `datetime()` comparisons,
unscoped source fallback, non-ASCII candidate matching, and chunked candidate
queries.
Timeline split into reusable, view-agnostic modules (archive/summary/dialog
service/render util/scroll controller) for the future EPG list view.
Fixes landed during review:
- honor the controlled `selectedDate` input (seed via linkedSignal)
- restore ribbon position across collapse/expand
- keep the ribbon mounted when scrolling across a gap day
- don't trigger block playback on Enter from nested watch/info buttons
- don't reset timeshift playback on the 30s now-tick during EPG gaps
Greptile 5/5 (safe to merge); Codex clean; CI green.
- merge origin/master into PR #964 and keep embedded MPV test on the isolated playback sub-entrypoint
- centralize EPG capability through DataService.supportsEpg and update PWA web-e2e expectations
- split BrowserAccessError copy between Electron and PWA diagnostics
The redesign rollup in this branch replaced the Add Playlist dialog's
2-level type × subtype tabs with a single flat 5-card radiogroup, and
replaced the Settings theme list with a compact segmented control whose
options are just "Light"/"Dark"/"System" (no "theme" suffix). E2E tests
that pinned to the old roles/labels failed in CI:
- basic / xtream / stalker / self-hosted: getByRole('tab', ...) on
"Add via file upload" / "Xtream" / "Stalker" — there are no tabs in
the new dialog. Switched to getByRole('radio', { name: /M3U file/i })
and friends, matched against the new radio labels.
- settings: getByRole('radio', { name: 'System theme' }) — the new
picker uses just "System". Scoped to the [data-test-id="select-theme"]
radiogroup so it doesn't collide with the identically-labelled
cover-size options below.
The Electron `clickDialogSegmentedOption` helper grew a radio-role lookup
as its primary path and keeps the old tab/button/legacy-selector
fallbacks so a future redesign won't break every fixture again. The
"M3U" parent category becomes a no-op (the new picker has no standalone
M3U tile — callers always specialise to M3U URL/file/text immediately
after, which is what we want anyway).

- Implemented unit tests for StalkerCollectionChannelsListComponent to verify EPG program loading and state management.
- Created unit tests for StalkerLiveStreamLayoutComponent to ensure proper rendering of EPG lists and handling of channel playback.
- Refactored EPG loading logic in StalkerLiveStreamLayoutComponent to improve performance and maintainability.
- Updated HTML template in StalkerLiveStreamLayoutComponent to replace deprecated components with new EPG list component.
- Enhanced EPG program handling by introducing methods for timestamp parsing and current program detection.
mat-button-toggle elements inside a group render their internal buttons
with role="radio", not role="button", so getByRole('button') selectors
fail. Switch to attribute selectors targeting the value attribute instead.

Entire-Checkpoint: bb9a8e2e351e
- Introduced `stalker-mock-server` with TypeScript configuration for local development and testing.
- Updated `playwright.config.ts` to run both Angular app and mock server in parallel during e2e tests.
- Created comprehensive e2e tests for Stalker portal functionality, including health checks, portal addition, and content loading.
- Added detailed architecture documentation for both `stalker-mock-server` and `xtream-mock-server`, outlining design decisions, data flow, and API protocols.
- Implemented `xtream-mock-server` to simulate Xtream Codes API for local development and testing, with corresponding e2e tests.
- Enhanced test isolation by resetting mock server state before each test run.
