4grayandClaude Fable 5.1 6cfdaf5900 feat(website): add the Stalker portal setup guide with mock-backed screenshots
Publish "How to Connect a Stalker or Ministra Portal to IPTVnator": the
portal URL shapes discovery accepts, MAC normalization, the optional
serial/device-ID/signature fields and the pinning rules behind the
"generate device IDs" toggle, what endpoint discovery does on Add, the
sections a portal source gets, Account info, and a troubleshooting list
built from the app's own refusal messages, plus a seven-question FAQ.
The guide is cross-linked from the download pages and llms.txt.

Guide screenshots come from the capture script. Shots that walk into a
Stalker portal start the stalker-mock-server and seed its marketing-demo
portal for that run only, so release shots never gain a third source
card. The frame guard allowlists exactly that scenario's MAC and keeps
rejecting every other MAC-shaped string.

To keep the live-TV frame free of third-party images, the fictional live
channel list and the channel-logo SVG renderer move into
@iptvnator/shared/marketing-fixtures; both mocks now serve
/assets/marketing/logo/<slug>.svg, the Stalker marketing-demo scenario
builds its ITV categories, channels and schedule from those fixtures
instead of faker names with picsum logos, and the mock resolves asset
URLs on get_all_channels too, which is the response the app renders
the channel list from.

4grayandClaude Opus 5 e197409b10 fix(stalker): only mint a temporary link when the row asks for one (#1364)
* fix(stalker): only mint a temporary link when the row asks for one

`create_link` ran on every Stalker playback. The reference client — the
portal's own `player.js`, mirrored by Kodi's pvr.stalker — mints a link
only when the catalog row sets `use_http_tmp_link` or `use_load_balancing`;
otherwise it plays the static `cmd` that `get_all_channels` /
`get_ordered_list` already returned. Neither flag was read anywhere in the
codebase, so every channel paid a round trip and gained a failure point the
reference client does not have.

One helper now owns the decision (`resolveStalkerStaticPlaybackUrl`), used
by `fetchStalkerPlaybackLink()` for ITV/VOD/radio, by the download path,
and by `StreamResolverService` for Favorites/Recently Viewed. Its guards
are deliberately wider than the flags alone and can only route a row back
onto the `create_link` path: no row to read flags from, a relative or
query-only command (the VOD `has_files` rewrite), a non-HTTP scheme, or a
loopback host. An episode always mints, since `series` selects it
server-side. Radio joins the same decision, so a station the portal proxies
now gets its link instead of playing a URL the portal never meant to serve.

Temporary links live ~5 s, so the audit that came with this: favorites and
recently-viewed persist the `cmd`, playback positions store ids, and the
main-process context map stores headers keyed by origin+path — none replay
a resolved URL. Downloads are the documented exception, and honouring the
flags shrinks even that, since an unflagged movie now yields a permanent
URL that survives retry.

`forced_storage` and `play_token` stay unwired, with the reasoning recorded
in the docs rather than left ambiguous.

The mock's ITV/radio rows now carry both flags, and the new
`static-channel-cmd` scenario (MAC 00:1A:79:00:00:0A) serves unflagged rows
with a playable command so the e2e can assert that NO `create_link` request
reaches the portal — verified to fail when the change is reverted, with a
companion test proving the recorder sees a link when one is due.

* fix(stalker): keep temporary-link flags across VOD normalization

Codex P1 on #1364, and it is real. `buildStalkerSelectedVodItem()` narrows a
raw portal row to an explicit whitelist, and the two flags were not on it.
It feeds both `selectedItem()` — which the VOD playback path reads as
`linkFlags` — and, through `createStalkerVodItem`, the download payload. So a
flagged VOD row with an absolute HTTP `cmd` arrived looking unflagged and took
the static path, playing the portal's non-final URL instead of minting a link.

The direction of the failure is what makes it a P1: a dropped flag reads as
"no temporary link needed", so the whitelist fails OPEN. Both flags now sit on
`StalkerVodSource` / `StalkerSelectedVodItem` and on the whitelist, with the
consequence spelled out at the normalizer so the next edit does not quietly
undo it, and specs pinning all three normalizers plus a store-level test that
a flagged VOD still mints.

Also two things from re-reading my own diff:
- The radio path called `resolveStalkerStaticPlaybackUrl` and then handed the
  same row to `fetchStalkerPlaybackLink`, which runs that exact check again.
  Two copies of one decision is the divergence this PR exists to remove, so
  the outer call and its now-unreachable guard are gone.
- `portal-catalog-facade.ts` spells the flag shape out instead of importing
  `StalkerLinkFlagSource`; it now says why (`type:util`/`domain:portal-shared`
  may not depend on `type:data-access`/`domain:stalker`), so the obvious
  "reuse the type" cleanup does not get made and break the boundary lint.

* fix(stalker): authenticate before serving a static collection stream

Second Codex P1 on #1364, and a regression this PR introduced. `create_link`
was also the request that warmed the portal session. Tokens live in memory
only (`StalkerSessionService.tokenCache` is a plain Map), and the collection
header builder reads the raw `getCachedToken()`. So a cold start from global
Favorites or Recently Viewed — the portal never opened this session — took the
static path, found no token, and handed a same-host gated stream headers with
no `Authorization`: a 403 on exactly the streams the header contract exists
for. The same raw accessor cannot tell a token negotiated for a pre-edit
identity from a current one.

`StreamResolverService` now calls `ensureToken()` before building a static
playback. It is the right primitive: handshake + `get_profile` with no link
minted, identity fingerprint validated, concurrent callers deduped, and an
immediate null for simple portals — and calling it keeps this change out of
`stalker-session.service.ts`, which PR 6 (#1354) is splitting.

Best-effort by design: a static URL may point at a CDN that needs no
credentials, so a failed handshake degrades to the token-less header set
instead of costing the user their playback. Both halves are pinned by tests,
and removing the call makes the cold-start test fail.

The portal routes need no equivalent and do not get one: an item cannot be
selected before its catalog has loaded, and every catalog load authenticates.
That reasoning is now written down rather than assumed.

* fix(stalker): warm the session at the choke point; keep downloads authenticated

Two more Codex findings on #1364, and the first one shows my previous commit
message reasoned too broadly.

P1 — I claimed the portal routes are "structurally warm" because an item
cannot be selected before its catalog loads. That is true of the routed portal
views, but not of the global collection detail, which calls
`setCurrentPlaylist()` and `setSelectedItem()` straight from a persisted row
with no catalog load in between and then goes through the STORE playback path.
A VOD opened from Favorites on a cold start therefore still played a same-host
gated stream with no Bearer token.

Rather than extend the per-route argument, the warm-up moved to the one place
every static return passes through: `fetchStalkerPlaybackLink()` now calls the
session before short-circuiting, covering ITV, VOD, radio and downloads at
once. `StreamResolverService` keeps its own call — its static branch does not
go through that function — but both now share a single primitive,
`ensureStalkerSession()` in `stalker-request.utils.ts`, so the two routes
cannot drift on when a session is required. Still best-effort, still outside
`stalker-session.service.ts` (PR 6 territory).

P2 — downloads cannot use that escape hatch at all: the main-process stored
header allowlist is User-Agent/Origin/Referer only, no Cookie or
Authorization, so a static same-host URL 401s where a minted one worked.
`startStalkerVodDownload` now classifies the candidate with the shared
`isStalkerStreamCredentialSafe()` and withholds the row — forcing
`create_link` — for anything portal-owned. A CDN-hosted movie keeps the
permanent URL that survives retry; a portal-hosted one keeps the minted URL
that carries its own token.

Both fixes mutation-checked: each reverted change fails exactly one test.
Docs corrected, including the overreaching "structurally warm" claim.

* docs(stalker): record the cached-token revalidation trade-off

Codex flagged that the static path no longer self-heals a retired token, since
`ensureToken` returns a same-identity cache entry without a network call —
whereas `create_link` used to refresh it through `makeAuthenticatedRequest`'s
auth-failure retry.

The mechanism it posits does not exist on stock Stalker: per the 4.9.35
reference, handshake tokens have no TTL, and not sending the watchdog does not
invalidate auth (it only clears the admin panel's "online" flag). The real
residual vector is another device calling `get_profile` on the same MAC, which
is common enough on shared subscriptions to be worth naming.

Revalidating on every static playback would cost exactly the round trip this
change removes, so it is deliberately not done. Recorded as a known trade-off
with its mitigation (a running watchdog still self-heals within a ping cycle)
and handed to PR 6, where a refresh on an OBSERVED playback authorization
failure belongs.

* docs(stalker): tighten the token-revalidation trade-off wording

Greptile review feedback: the watchdog mitigation was the most important part
of that paragraph and sat behind the caveat. It now follows the MAC-sharing
vector directly, and the paragraph ends by naming what is actually left
uncovered — a same-host static stream played while no watchdog is up — so a
future reader can size the residual without re-deriving it.

* fix(stalker): prefer the live playlist row over a stale favorite snapshot

Codex P1 on #1364, and mine. `resolveStalker` reads its portal coordinates as
`item.stalkerPortalUrl ?? playlist?.portalUrl` — item first. The create_link
branch quietly corrected for that afterwards by re-reading
`applyOverride(playlist).portalUrl`, so the row won wherever it existed, which
is what the comment right above it already promised: "when the row exists it
wins over the item's snapshot of the portal URL (a repaired endpoint must beat
a stale favorite)". The static branch I added returns before that correction,
so it shipped the stale snapshot.

Consequences after a playlist edit: a same-host static URL matching the OLD
host gets the newly negotiated token and identity headers sent to the previous
portal, and a MAC-only edit pairs the new token with the old MAC cookie —
precisely the pairing `stalkerIdentityFingerprint` exists to prevent.

Both branches now derive the coordinates once, row-first with the repair
override applied, and fall back to the item's snapshot only for a playlist
that no longer exists — which is the role `buildStalkerPlayback` already
documents for it. Mutation-checked: restoring item-first precedence fails the
new test alone.

Also documents a local-only e2e hazard found while re-running the suite:
`mode: 'serial'` orders tests within one project, but chromium/firefox/webkit
run the file concurrently against the same mock server, so one project's
beforeEach reset can drop a session another is mid-test on — which is what a
lone auth-spec failure that passes on rerun actually is. CI never sees it; the
Web E2E job runs --project=chromium alone, and that command is clean (22/22).

* fix(stalker): warm the session against the repaired portal configuration

Found while auditing my own static branch against the create_link path rather
than waiting for the next review round.

`executeStalkerRequest` applies the lazy-repair override on its first line, so
the create_link path always talks to the configuration a completed repair
proved good. The session warm-up I added did not: it handed `ensureToken` the
caller's pre-repair row, so a portal whose endpoint or mode had been repaired
would handshake against the configuration the repair had already rejected —
stranding the session precisely on the portals repair exists to rescue.

The override now happens inside `ensureStalkerSession`, mirroring
`executeStalkerRequest`'s first line, so every caller inherits the rule instead
of each having to remember it. Mutation-checked: dropping the override fails
the new test alone.

* fix(stalker): fall back to create_link when a portal-owned static url has no session

Codex P1 on #1364. `create_link` was also the request that could FAIL, and a
failure is what triggers the lazy portal repair. A playlist still misclassified
as token-free, or pointing at an unrepaired endpoint, used to self-heal on that
failure and then play; the static path issues no request, so nothing fires and
the stream just 401s.

Its suggested remedy — routing a skipped warm-up through `repairPortal()` —
cannot be taken literally: a skipped warm-up is the NORMAL case for the many
legitimately token-free reseller panels, and probing each of them on every
playback would cost far more than the round trip this PR removes.

What is decidable without a request is whether we are about to serve a stream
we already know will fail. `ensureStalkerSession` now reports whether the
session can serve credentialed playback — true for a portal needing no token
and for one holding a usable token, false for a full portal left without one —
and both static call sites act on it:

- foreign-host URL: served regardless, it never needed the session;
- portal-owned URL with a usable session: served, as before;
- portal-owned URL with no usable session: falls back to `create_link`, which
  mints a URL carrying its own token AND re-enters the only path that can
  observe a failure and repair.

That covers the unrepaired-endpoint half exactly. The misclassified-as-simple
half stays open by construction — no request means no evidence, and "simple
portal" is indistinguishable from "misclassified" without one. It belongs with
the other reactive-repair work already handed to PR 6: refresh and repair on an
OBSERVED playback authorization failure.

* fix(stalker): require flag evidence before trusting a row as unflagged

Two Codex findings on #1364.

P1 — legacy persisted snapshots. Favorites and Recently Viewed rows saved
before this change went through `buildStalkerSelectedVodItem`'s whitelist,
which dropped both flags, and `buildStalkerFavoritePayload` spreads that
whitelisted object. So a legacy row is flagless because WE stripped it, not
because the portal said no — and the helper was reading it as "explicitly
unflagged". With an absolute HTTP `cmd` from a load-balanced portal that meant
playing a non-final URL. There is no migration or provenance marker for those
rows.

A stock portal returns both flags on every row, so their PRESENCE is itself
the provenance signal, and it is the only one available without a refetch.
`resolveStalkerStaticPlaybackUrl` now requires at least one flag key to be
present; absence reads as "no evidence" and routes back to `create_link`,
which is the pre-PR behaviour. This costs the optimization on panels that omit
the flags entirely — the honest price for not being able to tell them apart
from our own stripped rows.

Radio is the one documented exception. It has always played a directly usable
command without `create_link`, so a flagless radio row keeps that rather than
newly minting — a portal whose radio `create_link` never worked would
otherwise lose playback it has today. ITV and VOD have no such history and
stay conservative.

P2 — loopback range. IPv4 reserves all of `127.0.0.0/8`, so `127.0.0.2` was
being handed to the player as a real address. Classified by range now, with a
test that `127.0.0.1.cdn.example` is still treated as the ordinary hostname it
is.

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

* fix(stalker): classify every portal-local IPv6 placeholder

Codex P2 on #1364, same class as the 127.0.0.0/8 one. `http://[::]/ch/1234_`
and the IPv4-mapped loopback forms slipped past the exact-name set and would
have been handed to the player as real addresses.

Checked how `URL` actually normalizes these rather than guessing at the
spelling a portal might use: brackets are kept, `[0:0:0:0:0:0:0:1]` collapses
to `[::1]`, and an IPv4-mapped address is rewritten to hex — `[::ffff:127.0.0.1]`
arrives as `[::ffff:7f00:1]`. The guard now strips the brackets, matches `::1`
and `::`, and decodes the mapped form by its high byte, so the whole of the
mapped 127.0.0.0/8 range is covered along with the mapped unspecified address.
The dotted tail is still accepted for any engine that leaves it alone.

Routable hosts are unaffected, pinned by tests for `[2001:db8::1]` and
`[::ffff:203.0.113.7]`. Mutation-checked: dropping `::` and the mapped-IPv4
decode fails five tests and nothing else.

* fix(stalker): normalize hostname and scheme spelling before the static verdict

Two Codex P2s on #1364, both about trusting how a portal spells things.

`http://localhost./ch/1234_` — a trailing dot is the DNS root and resolves
identically, but `URL` keeps it for names while dropping it for IP literals
(`127.0.0.1.` arrives bare, `localhost.` does not). The exact-name check read
that as a remote host and would have pointed the player at its own loopback.
Stripped before classifying.

`HTTP://cdn.example/a.ts` — RFC 3986 makes the scheme case-insensitive. The
case-sensitive tests failed SAFE, minting a link instead, but that defeats the
contract for a portal that spells it this way, and one whose `create_link`
cannot resolve an already-playable row would break.

There were five such tests, and only one was on the new static path: the other
three live in `resolveStalkerPlaybackUrl`, the create_link RESPONSE resolver,
where `ffrt3 HTTP://…` failed to split its solution prefix and a query-only
reply was appended to the portal base instead of to the command. That is
pre-existing, but it is the same bug in the same shared normalizer, and fixing
only the half this PR introduced would leave exactly the divergence this PR
keeps removing. All five now go through one `hasHttpScheme()`.

The response resolver had only indirect coverage, so it gains a direct spec
alongside the static-path tests. Mutation-checked: reverting the dot strip and
the case-insensitive scheme fails ten tests and nothing else.

Also carries a docblock fix noticed on a read-through: the guard list still
pointed at `PORTAL_LOCAL_HOSTNAMES` after the logic moved into
`isPortalLocalHostname`, which now covers considerably more than that set.

* fix(stalker): normalize DNS root dots in the shared credential classifier

Codex P2 on #1364, extending the `localhost.` fix into
`isStalkerStreamCredentialSafe()`. It compared hostnames literally, so a
portal on `portal.example` serving `https://portal.example./movie.mkv`
classified its own stream as third-party.

Wider than the download guard it was reported against: this predicate is the
single rule BOTH the renderer playback-header builder and the Electron
main-process fallback use to decide whether a stream may carry the mac cookie
and Bearer token. A portal-owned stream spelled with the root dot was getting
the credential-free profile and would 401 — pre-existing, and exactly the
"only VLC works" class this contract exists to prevent. My PR added two new
dependencies on the same predicate (the download static guard and the
portal-owned fallback), which is how it surfaced.

Both sides are normalized, so it stays symmetric, and it can only widen toward
"same host" — never toward handing credentials to a different one. A test pins
that `evil.portal.example.` is still rejected.

Also carries the authority guard found by probing the same class myself rather
than waiting for it to be reported: `http:///ch/1` has no authority and `URL`
quietly reinterprets the first path segment as the host, so a malformed
command reached the player as a nonsense address instead of going to the
portal. `isPlayableHttpUrl()` now requires a non-empty authority. The other
exotic spellings I probed were already covered — `URL` canonicalizes `127.1`,
`2130706433` and `0x7f000001` to `127.0.0.1`, uppercases and expanded IPv6
normalize too.

* perf(stalker): classify the static url before authenticating

Codex P2 on #1364. Both static call sites awaited the session warm-up and only
then asked whether the stream needed portal credentials at all — so a movie or
channel on a foreign CDN paid for a handshake whose result was immediately
discarded.

That is not free: non-`create_link` requests carry a 15 s timeout
(`stalker.events.ts`), so a portal that is slow or offline stalled playback of
a stream the CDN would have served instantly. Cold Favorites/Recently Viewed
starts are exactly where this bites, since that is where the session is not
warm already.

Classification now runs first. Foreign host returns immediately, portal-owned
still warms and still falls back to `create_link` without a usable session.
Behaviour is otherwise unchanged; only the order and the wasted wait are gone.

Two tests moved with it: the foreign-host case now asserts the portal is not
contacted at all rather than merely not asked for a link, and the
repaired-endpoint case had been written against a foreign-host command, which
under the new ordering correctly never reaches the handshake it was meant to
be testing — it uses a portal-owned command now.

Mutation-checked: restoring warm-before-classify fails the foreign-host test
alone.

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

* test(stalker): repoint two handshake tests at the path they claim to cover

Self-audit, prompted by the previous round: the reorder exposed one test that
was asserting through a path it no longer reached, so I checked the rest of
that class rather than assume it was the only one. Two more had the same
defect, both mine.

`still returns the static url when the handshake fails` (both specs) mocked
`ensureToken` to reject, but used a FOREIGN-host command. Now that
classification runs before authentication, that command returns before the
handshake is ever attempted — the rejection was never exercised and the test
passed on the early return instead of the mechanism in its name. Worse, the
foreign case is already covered by the test added alongside the reorder, so
these were asserting nothing new.

Both now use a portal-owned command, which is what actually reaches the
handshake, and assert what a throw really produces: `ensureStalkerSession`
swallows it, the verdict is false, and the row falls back to `create_link`
rather than being served as a known 401. Each asserts `ensureToken` was in
fact called, so neither can silently drift back into testing an early return.

Docs corrected with them: the "best-effort degrades to the token-less header
set" wording described behaviour the reorder removed. A foreign-host URL is
now returned before any handshake, and a failed one routes to `create_link`.

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

* test(stalker): make the simple-portal skip test prove portal mode

Fourth test found passing through the wrong exit, from auditing all ten in the
block rather than waiting to trip over another one.

`skips the handshake for a simple portal` used a foreign-host command, so the
classification step returned before the warm-up was reached. `ensureToken` was
indeed not called — but because the host was foreign, not because the portal
was simple, and the assertion could not tell those apart. The command is now
portal-owned, so the skip can only come from the mode, and the test also pins
the returned URL and that no request was made.

Mutation-checked properly this time: removing the simple-portal early return
from `ensureStalkerSession` now fails this test. Under the old command it
would not have.

Also records the pattern where the next person will meet it. The decision
chain has several exits — no flag evidence, unresolvable command, `series`
set, foreign host, unusable session — and more than one can satisfy the same
assertion, so a foreign-host command silently stands in for "simple portal" or
"handshake failed". Mutation testing does not catch that class: it proves a
test is coupled to its target, not that it reached the mechanism it names.

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

* fix(stalker): key the radio fallback on flag evidence, not snapshot presence

Codex P2 on #1364, and a divergence I introduced myself.

`withStalkerPlayer`'s radio branch checks `hasStalkerLinkFlagEvidence(item)`
before synthesizing the zero flags. `StreamResolverService` used `??`, which
only falls back when the snapshot is absent entirely. A radio Favorite or
Recent row persisted before the flags were carried HAS a snapshot — the old
whitelist just stripped the flags out of it — so the `??` selected that
flagless object, the helper found no evidence, and the collection route began
minting for exactly the rows that used to play directly. That breaks portals
whose radio `create_link` is unsupported, which is the case the radio
exception exists for.

The two paths now apply the identical rule. The divergence came from fixing
them in different rounds and is precisely the class this PR keeps closing, so
the comment on each side now points at the other.

The existing radio test carries no `stalkerItem` at all, so it exercises the
missing-snapshot arm and stayed green throughout — the same "passes through a
different exit" pattern documented in the section above. The new test supplies
a present-but-flagless snapshot. Mutation-checked: restoring the presence
check fails it alone.

* fix(stalker): treat every reserved localhost name as portal-local

Codex P2 on #1364, the fourth in this class. RFC 6761 §6.3 reserves
`localhost` AND every name ending in `.localhost` for the loopback interface,
and resolvers honour it — so `http://stream.localhost/ch/1234_` reached the
player's own machine instead of being sent to the portal to resolve.

Closed the class rather than adding one more name: the suffix is matched, and
`localhost.localdomain` goes in with it as the conventional `/etc/hosts` alias
for 127.0.0.1 on most Linux systems. Together with the earlier rounds the
predicate now covers `localhost` and `*.localhost`, `localhost.localdomain`,
`127.0.0.0/8`, `0.0.0.0`, `::1`, `::`, the IPv4-mapped forms `URL` rewrites to
hex, and a terminal DNS root dot on any of them.

Only the suffix is reserved, so the guard must not over-match: tests pin that
`localhost.cdn.example` and `notlocalhost` remain ordinary routable names and
keep playing statically. Mutation-checked: dropping the suffix rule and the
localdomain alias fails four tests and nothing else.

4grayandClaude Fable 5 fc7f23b229 feat(playback): forward portal Cookie/Authorization to built-in players (#1335)
* feat(playback): forward portal Cookie/Authorization to built-in players

The web players (HTML5/hls.js, Video.js, ArtPlayer, Shaka) could only ever
receive User-Agent/Referer/Origin, so any Stalker stream gated on the portal
session cookie or Bearer token played exclusively in external MPV/VLC — the
long-running "only VLC works" cluster (#849, #910, #732).

- request-header-overrides.service: the scoped override now carries Cookie
  and Authorization, attached only to requests on the exact stream origin,
  in-memory only, dropped on replace/clear. Unscoped (playlist-level) calls
  drop credentials fail-closed; control characters in header values are
  rejected. Chosen over session.cookies.set(): jar cookies attach only to
  credentialed requests, which would force withCredentials into every engine
  and break against the Access-Control-Allow-Origin:* IPTV panels send, and
  jar scoping is port-blind.
- WebPlayerViewComponent is now the single owner of the scoped override for
  every built-in player: it extracts the full header set from the resolved
  playback, configures the override BEFORE handing the source over (players
  render only once the source exists), and clears the scoped layer on
  destroy. HtmlVideoPlayerComponent's own three-header call is removed — it
  would overwrite the credentialed override.
- Stalker VOD, series episodes and radio now build the same portal header
  set ITV already had (they previously carried no portal headers at all);
  same-origin playback sends the real User-Agent alongside X-User-Agent.
- Stream classification is host-based via one shared predicate
  (isStalkerStreamCredentialSafe): same-host port changes and scheme
  upgrades keep the portal profile (the #1158 class), a foreign host or
  https->http downgrade keeps the credential-free KSPlayer profile. The
  main-process fallback context uses the same predicate so
  isStalkerDirectStreamProfile can no longer discard renderer headers.
- setUserAgent bridge gains an optional credentials parameter; preload,
  ipcMain handler and ElectronBridgeApi updated together.
- stalker-mock-server: gated-stream scenario (MAC 00:1A:79:00:00:09) whose
  create_link returns a local /stream/gated/video.mp4 that 403s without the
  mac cookie + current Bearer token; new Electron e2e proves a built-in
  player actually plays it (and that the gate refuses bare requests).

* fix(playback): apply header override to Stalker radio, redact mock cookie log

Address Codex review feedback on #1335:

- The radio branch of the Stalker live layout renders the dedicated audio
  player, never WebPlayerViewComponent, so the resolved portal headers were
  built but never applied — an auth-gated radio stream still 403'd. The
  override sync is extracted into ElectronStreamHeadersService (single owner
  of the scoped override slot, with clear-only-while-owning semantics so a
  destroyed consumer cannot wipe a newer consumer's override), applied by
  WebPlayerViewComponent for video players and by the radio branch before
  the audio element gets its URL. The service feature-detects the bridge
  method so partial bridges behave like the PWA instead of throwing.
- The gated-stream mock no longer logs the raw Cookie header on 403 —
  presence only, matching the Authorization logging.
- The gated scenario now serves an audio fixture for radio create_link and
  the Electron e2e covers the radio path end-to-end (bare request 403s,
  built-in audio player advances past the gate).

* fix(playback): claim radio header ownership before awaiting the IPC

Codex round-2 P2: leaving the radio route while the header IPC was still in
flight left the portal cookie/token installed — ngOnDestroy saw a null scope
URL (it was recorded only after the await) and could not clear the override.
Ownership is now claimed synchronously before awaiting, destroy invalidates
the pending playback continuation, and the apply's stillCurrent verdict is
honored. Regression test covers destroy-during-pending-IPC.

* fix(playback): carry portal headers into collection playback

Codex round-3 P1: Stalker channels opened from Favorites/Recently Viewed
resolved through StreamResolverService.resolveStalker(), which returned no
portal headers — the video path handed the header owner an empty set and
collection radio bypassed it entirely, so auth-gated streams still 403'd
from collections.

- resolveStalker() now builds the same profile as the live layout via the
  shared classifier: portal-owned streams get mac cookie/Bearer token/MAG
  UA/portal Origin+Referer, foreign hosts keep the credential-free KSPlayer
  profile (both create_link results and direct radio URLs).
- UnifiedLiveTabComponent applies the scoped override for radio before the
  audio element gets its URL (ownership claimed before awaiting the IPC,
  round-2 lesson), and clears it on close and destroy.
- Regression tests: resolver header profiles for portal-host and foreign
  streams; unified tab radio apply-then-clear.

* fix(playback): release the radio override when a new selection mounts no player

Codex round-4 P2: after radio installed its credentials, selecting an item
that never mounts a player surface (external video playback, failed
resolution) left the old Cookie/Authorization installed — no
WebPlayerViewComponent, close, or destroy cleanup runs on that path. Both
radio hosts (unified collection tab and the Stalker live layout, which has
the identical hole) now release the previously owned radio scope at the
start of every new selection; the slot-ownership semantics keep this a
no-op when another playback already owns the override. Regression test in
the live-layout spec pins the failed-selection path.

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

* docs(playback): state the exact override release points

Codex round-5 P2 flagged that the media 'ended' event does not clear the
scoped override while the player stays mounted. That is deliberate, not a
gap: a mounted player still owns the session — replay or a seek into an
unbuffered range must keep working against a gated stream, and clearing on
'ended' would 403 exactly the streams this PR fixes. The credentials only
ever travel to the exact origin that issued them, and every dismount path
(channel/source change, player close/destroy, radio close, playerless
selection) releases them. The security doc and the release note now say
precisely that instead of the ambiguous "cleared when playback ends".

4grayandClaude Opus 5 6c065124ed feat(stalker): add account info dialog for Stalker portals (#1330)
* feat(stalker): add account info dialog for Stalker portals

Xtream playlists have had an account-info dialog for a while; Stalker
portals stored the same facts (login, expiry, tariff, status captured at
import) as dead weight in the database and showed them nowhere.

Add StalkerAccountInfoComponent mirroring the Xtream dialog's visual
language: status pill, days-left/tariff/MAC hero stats, account and
portal panels. Data is cached-first — the import-time snapshot renders
instantly with a "Saved data" badge, then StalkerAccountInfoService
refreshes it: full /stalker_portal/ installations re-run
handshake+get_profile, portal.php panels are queried best-effort via
account_info/get_main_info. A failed refresh keeps the cached snapshot;
no data at all shows a retry-able error state.

Entry points are unified behind shared portal-account predicates
(isXtreamAccountPlaylist / isStalkerAccountPlaylist in shared/interfaces)
so both portal types get the same set: header playlist switcher (bottom
section + new per-row ⋮ Account info item), dashboard source card ⋮ menu,
and the command palette (now visible on stalker routes with its own
description). The header service picks the dialog by playlist type; the
per-row path works for non-active playlists and skips the session-scoped
stream counts.

Also adds the missing top-level LOADING/RETRY i18n keys the Xtream dialog
already referenced (they rendered as raw keys), a get_main_info handler
in the stalker mock server, and STALKER.ACCOUNT_INFO translations for all
19 locales.

* fix(stalker): unwrap nested js.account_info envelope in get_main_info

Ministra-style portals nest the account block — fetchStalkerExpireDate()
in stalker-player-request.utils already consumes exactly that shape, so
the flat-only mapper silently discarded valid responses and legacy
imports (which have no cached snapshot) got an empty account panel.

Merge nested fields over flat aliases, send the JsHttpRequest parameter
the existing get_main_info caller sends, switch the mock server to the
nested envelope so the E2E covers the realistic shape, and document the
account-info feature in CLAUDE.md (review feedback from Greptile and
Codex on #1330).

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

* test(stalker): pin account-info expiry fixture below the day boundary

Math.round on the epoch could round up half a second, putting the
fixture's expiry just past the 30-day mark so daysLeft ceil'd to 31 on
CI. Floor keeps the interval strictly inside 30 days regardless of when
within the second the spec runs.

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

* refactor(stalker): address account-info review round two

Three P2s from Codex on #1330:

- Normalize the cached stalkerAccountInfo snapshot before rendering:
  the import path persists portal values verbatim, so expireDate can be
  a date string or milliseconds at runtime despite the declared number
  type. normalizeStoredStalkerAccountInfo() runs the same parsers as
  the fresh path.
- Publish the re-auth token into StalkerSessionService's cache: strict
  portals invalidate the previous token per handshake, so the dialog's
  authenticate() would otherwise strand an active portal session on a
  dead token.
- Extract the duplicated ~460-line account-dialog stylesheet into
  libs/ui/styles/_account-dialog.scss, shared by both dialogs with the
  provider accent injected via --account-dialog-accent; each consumer
  keeps only its accent and layout overrides.

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

* fix(stalker): serialize account-profile refresh with session auth

The dialog's direct authenticate() call bypassed the pendingAuth map
ensureToken() uses, so a refresh could run a second handshake while a
catalog or watchdog request was still authenticating. On strict portals
each handshake invalidates the other's token, and the later
setCachedToken() could publish an already-dead one.

Move the refresh into StalkerSessionService.refreshAccountProfile(): it
waits for any in-flight authentication, registers its own so later
callers wait for it, and republishes the resulting token. A failed
pending auth no longer aborts the refresh, and the pendingAuth entry is
only cleared when it is still this call's.

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

* fix(stalker): move pendingAuth cleanup out of the promise initializer

TS2454 under the Angular compiler: the finally block referenced
authPromise inside its own initializer, so every Electron/web production
build failed even though jest and lint accepted it. Await the promise at
the call site and retire the map entry there instead — same
only-clear-our-own-entry semantics.

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

* fix(stalker): harden account-info portal detection and expiry math

Review round four (Codex P2s on #1330):

- Fall back to the URL rule when isFullStalkerPortal is undefined: a
  playlist restored from an older backup carries no flag once the
  one-shot metadata migration has run, and it would then be sent down
  the unauthenticated legacy path and labelled a legacy panel.
- Parse a bare YYYY-MM-DD expiry as a local calendar date. Date.parse
  reads it as UTC midnight, which renders as the previous day west of
  UTC and shifts the days-left boundary; timestamps carrying a time or
  offset keep standard parsing.
- Decide expiry from the raw timestamp, not the rounded counter: an
  expiry that passed less than a day ago ceil's to 0/-0, so the hero
  stat claimed "0 days left" on a dead subscription.

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

* fix(stalker): make account-profile refresh own the auth slot

Review round five (Codex P2s on #1330):

- Claim the pendingAuth slot in a loop and publish it before the first
  await. One settled promise releases every waiter at once, so a single
  pre-check let two queued refreshes both start handshakes that
  invalidate each other on strict portals.
- Retire the cached token before the handshake: ensureToken() reads
  tokenCache before pendingAuth, so catalog and watchdog requests
  starting mid-handshake were handed a token this refresh was about to
  kill instead of queueing on the slot.
- Render the portal type from the same resolver the fetch path uses, so
  a restored backup without an explicit flag is no longer labelled a
  legacy panel while authenticating as a full portal.

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

* fix(stalker): retire only the token that actually failed auth

A request dispatched with the previous token can see its authorization
failure arrive after a profile refresh has already cached a fresh one.
The retry path deleted the cache blindly, killing the fresh token and
kicking off another handshake that in turn invalidated tokens of newer
requests — cascading retries on strict portals.

makeAuthenticatedRequest() now retires the cached token only while it
still equals the token that failed; a late failure of a stale token
leaves the refreshed token in place and the retry reuses it.

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

* docs(stalker): distinguish the two no-data outcomes of the account dialog

A portal that answers but publishes no account facts renders the
ready-state "No account details" panel; only an unreachable portal
without a cached snapshot enters the error state with retry. The doc
conflated both as "error with retry" (review feedback on #1330).

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

* fix(stalker): reject negative expiry sentinels before date parsing

Portals encode unlimited/missing expiry as "-1" or "0"; the
unsigned-digit check let "-1" fall through to Date.parse, which V8
reads as January 1, 2001 — an unlimited account rendered as expired.
Signed numeric strings now take the numeric branch, whose non-positive
guard already discards them.

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

* fix(stalker): reject out-of-range calendar components in expiry dates

The multi-argument Date constructor normalizes invalid components
('2026-00-00' becomes Nov 30, 2025), fabricating an expiry and countdown
from a placeholder. Round-trip the parsed year/month/day and reject any
date that does not survive unchanged.

4grayandClaude Fable 5 297e9fbef8 fix(stalker): send cmd in the reference MAG wire format (#1334)
* fix(stalker): send cmd in the reference MAG wire format

A real MAG sends cmd unencoded and the portal decodes its query exactly
once, so a cmd that already contains percent sequences (%3A tokens,
pre-encoded path segments) must pass through untouched. The previous
encodeURIComponent transport (2c032cd3c, 0.22) double-encoded such cmds
(%3A -> %253A): strict portals and reseller panels that compare cmd
literally, and stock create_link handlers matching the decoded value,
saw a different string than a real STB sends.

The new shared encodeStalkerCmdValue() reproduces the reference wire
bytes: % passes through verbatim, characters the WHATWG URL serializer
keeps raw in a query stay raw (so the bytes survive the axios/new URL
transport unchanged), and everything else is percent-encoded. That
preserves the 0.22 injection protection - &, # (and ; for PHP setups
with a ; argument separator) inside cmd cannot append or truncate query
parameters; they decode back to the original byte server-side.

Both transports now share the format: the Electron query builder is
extracted to buildStalkerRequestUrl() and the web-backend /stalker
proxy appends cmd to the portal URL itself instead of letting axios
turn slashes into %2F (the opposite divergence).

Also unifies the two divergent response-side cmd normalizers: the
cross-portal collection resolver now uses the Stalker store's
normalizeStalkerPlaybackCommand/resolveStalkerPlaybackUrl, so playing
from Favorites/global collections resolves relative (/media/...) and
query-only (?token=...) create_link replies against the portal base
instead of handing the player a bare relative path.

The mock portal's create_link response gains mock-only cmd_received/
query_keys_received diagnostics; a new Electron e2e pins the contract
end-to-end (single decode, injection blocked). Unit corpus tests cover
the encoder, the Electron builder, the web-backend proxy, and the
resolver.

* fix(pwa): sanitize portal URL before appending stalker cmd

A registered portal URL carrying a fragment would swallow the appended
cmd (everything after # is never transmitted), and a trailing bare '?'
produced '??cmd='. Drop the hash and pick the separator from the
sanitized href before appending. Flagged by Greptile/Codex on #1334.

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

* refactor(pwa): make stalker cmd append visibly query-only for CodeQL

Rebuild the /stalker request URL through the URL object and concatenate
the encoded cmd strictly behind a literal '?', so static analysis can
see the tainted value never reaches host or path (js/request-forgery
alert on the previous separator ternary). Behavior unchanged; the
fragment/bare-'?' regression tests still pin the wire format.

4grayandClaude Fable 5 3dbfefa3d8 test(stalker): enforce portal auth in the mock and cover the full-portal flow (#1324)
* test(stalker): enforce portal auth in the mock and cover the full-portal flow

The mock server implemented neither get_profile nor get_events and
validated no auth at all, and the e2e suite imported the portal through
/portal.php — which the app classifies as a *simple* portal. The entire
authenticated branch (handshake, token, watchdog, re-auth) therefore had
zero coverage, right before a series of PRs that reworks exactly that.

Mock server:
- serve the canonical /stalker_portal/server/load.php endpoint, which
  enforces the Bearer token and the Infomir MAC format like the real
  middleware; /portal.php stays tolerant so the existing suite keeps
  covering the simple-portal branch
- auth-store.ts models the parts of Stalker 4.9.35 a client can get
  wrong: plain-text auth failures with HTTP 200, a handshake that is not
  yet a session, idempotent token re-presentation, and permanent
  device_id pinning (including the blank-after-pinned lockout)
- add get_profile (status 0/1/2, device conflict, block_msg) and the
  get_events watchdog; profile advertises watchdog_timeout/timeslot
- new login-required scenario MAC and POST /invalidate-session so tests
  can force a mid-session token loss
- the /stalker proxy route now forwards the token as a Bearer header and
  wraps auth failures in the { payload } envelope, matching web-backend

Also moves extractMac into request-mac.ts: importing it from the
categories handler dragged the whole data generator into any consumer,
which broke unit tests on the workspace alias.

E2E: new stalker-auth.e2e.ts asserts handshake precedes get_profile
precedes content, that content requests carry the token while the
handshake does not, that the plain-text failure body is never rendered,
and that the client re-authenticates after the portal drops the session.

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

* fix(mock): address CodeQL findings in the new portal auth code

Two genuine defects in the code this PR added:
- readBearerToken's /Bearer\s+(.*)$/ backtracks polynomially on
  "bearer" followed by a long run of spaces; require the token to start
  with a non-space character instead
- the /stalker proxy route read query params as strings without
  narrowing, so a repeated key (?url=a&url=b) arrives as an array and
  String.prototype.includes silently changes meaning

The remaining three alerts (missing rate limiting x2, sensitive data in
a GET query) are web-service hygiene rules aimed at internet-facing
services. The mock servers bind to localhost, serve fabricated data,
ship in no artifact, and deliberately mirror the real backend proxy's
token-in-query contract; a rate limiter would break the E2E suite that
hammers them. Exclude only those two apps from analysis via a documented
CodeQL config; every shipped path keeps full coverage.

* fix(mock): tighten portal-auth fidelity per review

Review follow-up on #1324 (Greptile 2xP1, Codex 3xP2), all valid:

- adoptToken only accepts tokens the mock actually issued (or the
  already-bound one). The stock server pins any presented Bearer —
  handshake is stateless there — but a fixture that does the same
  cannot catch a client with a broken token pipeline; documented as a
  deliberate strictness divergence.
- /invalidate-session clears tokens but keeps pinned device identity:
  losing a token never unpins device_id on a real portal, so changed
  identity after re-auth must still hit the device-conflict branch.
- The login-required scenario gates on actual do_auth completion
  instead of auth_second_step: the app sends auth_second_step=1 on its
  very first get_profile, so the parameter check was trivially
  bypassed and the status-2 flow never exercised. do_auth is now the
  faithful boolean step (non-empty credentials -> {js:true}, recorded;
  empty -> {js:false}).
- /server/load.php — the second URL shape isFullStalkerPortal
  recognizes — is now served and enforced, directly and through the
  /stalker proxy predicate, so full-portal tests cannot silently fall
  into the tolerant branch.

* test(stalker): prove content actually reloads after re-authentication

Review follow-up on #1324 (Codex P2, valid — the "passes for the wrong
reason" class): the re-auth test only polled for a fresh handshake and
a negative body-text assertion, both of which pass even if the original
content request is never replayed or stays unauthorized. Capture the
content token from the initial import, then assert a post-invalidation
CONTENT request goes out under a DIFFERENT token and that the ITV
categories actually render — the mock only answers content for an
adopted token, so this proves the new token round-tripped through
get_profile. Verified against a live mock that the token genuinely
rotates (old token -> "Authorization failed.", new token -> content).

Also documents the second Codex P2: the mock is deliberately strict on
/server/load.php (a real portal enforces auth there); the import dialog
vs session predicate divergence is a separate app bug the strict
endpoint will let a later PR cover.

* test(stalker): serialize the portal specs and bind mocks to loopback

Review follow-up on #1324 (Codex, 4xP2):

- Parallel-reset race: under the workspace `fullyParallel` preset the new
  auth file ran concurrently with stalker.e2e.ts against one shared mock
  process, and each `beforeEach` wiped global state (sessions, favorites)
  mid-assertion in the other. Reproduced locally: both suites green in
  isolation, two failures when run together. Merged the auth tests into
  stalker.e2e.ts and pinned the file to `mode: 'serial'`, which also
  removes the pre-existing race between that file's own tests. 19/19
  green across three consecutive runs.
- Watchdog was recorded but never asserted, so the suite would stay green
  if the full-portal workflow stopped pinging or dropped its token —
  `sendWatchdogPing` swallows failures. Now polls for an authenticated
  `get_events`.
- Both mock servers listened on every interface (stalker: `listen(PORT)`
  with no host; xtream: an explicit `0.0.0.0` default), which made the
  CodeQL exclusion's "binds to localhost" rationale untrue. Both now
  default to `127.0.0.1` with a `HOST` opt-in, and the config comment
  states plainly what the directory-wide ignore trades away.
- Documented that the login-required scenario is HTTP-level only for now:
  the client's `do_auth` path is dormant and sends empty credentials, so
  the fixture is waiting on that client-side work rather than claiming
  end-to-end coverage.

* test(stalker): force a real auth failure before asserting it stays hidden

Review follow-up on #1324 (Codex 2xP2 + 1xP3), all valid:

- The "never surfaces the plain-text auth failure" test only performed a
  successful import, so its negative body assertions were vacuous. It now
  imports with a MAC outside the Infomir OUI: the strict endpoint answers
  get_profile with a bare {status:1}, no token is ever adopted, and every
  content request keeps returning "Authorization failed." Unlike an
  invalidated session this cannot be repaired by the client retry, so the
  failure is genuinely observed (asserted directly against the proxy) and
  only then checked for not leaking into the UI.
- docs/architecture/xtream-mock-server.md still documented the wildcard
  bind that 4b31f7167 replaced with a loopback default; it now states the
  new default and the HOST=0.0.0.0 opt-in needed for phone/STB/container.
- Removed a dangling "Known app-side gap: the" fragment left in the
  stalker mock README.

* fix(mock): scope /reset by MAC so parallel specs stop wiping each other

The re-authentication test passed locally but failed all three CI
attempts: no request carried a token, because self-hosted.e2e.ts issues
a GLOBAL `POST /reset` against the same mock from a parallel Playwright
worker, destroying the session mid-import. Running only stalker.e2e.ts
locally never triggered it.

Serializing within one file (4b31f7167) could not fix this — the
interference is between files. Mock state is per-MAC, so `/reset` now
accepts `?macAddress=` and clears only that MAC's data, favorites,
session and watchdog counters; the unscoped form is kept for callers
that own the whole server. Both spec files now reset only the MACs they
own, so no worker can disturb another.

Verified: a scoped reset of one MAC leaves another MAC's session intact
(and its own dies), and stalker.e2e.ts + self-hosted.e2e.ts run together
23/23 green — the combination that reproduced the CI failure.

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

* test(e2e): scope the last global Stalker reset in sources-pwa helpers

Completes 3a93fef0f: that commit scoped self-hosted.e2e.ts but missed
resetPwaMockServers, which still wiped the whole Stalker fixture from a
third spec file. Scope it to the two MACs this suite owns.

The auth tests use dedicated MACs no sibling touches, so portal sessions
— the fragile state — can no longer be cleared by a parallel worker.
Content MACs still overlap between files, which is harmless: that data is
regenerated deterministically from the same seed.

Verified with the full interfering set running together:
stalker.e2e.ts + self-hosted.e2e.ts + sources-pwa.e2e.ts, 26/26 green.

* test(stalker): await the first authenticated content request

The re-auth test kept failing on CI (3/3 attempts) with an undefined
token while passing locally. My earlier diagnosis — a sibling spec's
global /reset — was wrong: the failure survived the scoped-reset fix.

Real cause is a race in the test itself. `addFullStalkerPortal` only
awaits the route change, so on a slower runner the first authenticated
content request has not been recorded yet when the token is read; the
sibling test that passes happens to await `.category-item` first. Poll
for a content request carrying a token before capturing it.

The scoped-reset work stands on its own merits (cross-file resets were
a real hazard), it just was not what broke this test.

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

* test(stalker): drop serial mode, batch resets, cover the auth handlers

Review round on a44f8135f plus a stability regression I introduced.

Codex, both valid:
- The proxy route stripped `token` from the forwarded query, so
  `handshake` never saw a presented token and the idempotent-handshake
  behaviour I documented was unreachable through the PWA path. The real
  backend forwards every param except `targetId` *and* sets the header;
  match it. Verified through the proxy: re-handshake now returns the
  same token with not_valid 0.
- The login-required scenario had no committed test, so the README claim
  was unbacked. Added auth-handlers.spec.ts (status 2 -> do_auth ->
  profile, MAC-format rejection, device conflict, idempotent handshake,
  watchdog). Handlers are called directly because the dispatcher pulls in
  the faker-based generator, which this project's Jest cannot transform.
- Sibling suites now own disjoint MACs (00:1A:79:5F:*) instead of
  sharing the Stalker suite's, so no reset can reach another suite's
  state at all.

Stability: a baseline run of master passed 23/23 first try while this
branch failed a different test each run, so the flakiness was mine.
`mode: 'serial'` was a stand-in for isolation that per-MAC scoping now
provides properly, and it amplified every flake by aborting the rest of
the file; removed. `beforeEach` also fired seven sequential resets — the
endpoint now accepts repeated `macAddress` params so a suite clears all
of its MACs in one request. Added a retrying POST helper after an
ECONNRESET on a control call.

Verified: three consecutive runs of stalker + self-hosted + sources-pwa,
26/26 each; 28 mock unit tests; lint clean.

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

* test(stalker): restore serial mode for the shared-scenario file

Review follow-up (Codex P2), valid: the previous commit removed
`mode: 'serial'` while every `beforeEach` still resets all OWNED_MACS,
so under fullyParallel one test in this file could clear another's data
or session mid-run.

Of the two suggested fixes, serialize rather than give each test its own
MAC: the tests here are written against scenario fixtures (default,
minimal, embedded-series) whose shapes the assertions encode, so a MAC
per test would mean inventing a scenario per test and rewriting
pre-existing assertions. Cross-file isolation stays with the disjoint
sibling MAC range, which is what serial was wrongly standing in for
before.

The header now states both levels explicitly so the next reader does not
undo one of them.

Verified: three consecutive runs of stalker + self-hosted + sources-pwa,
26/26 each.

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.

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).

4gray b3e130aa65 feat(stalker): full Live TV channel list for complete search, count badges, and all-channels grid (#1209)
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.

Claude ef344f4ee8 fix(e2e): resolve 4 remaining test failures in electron e2e suite
- Fix getVisibleSourceTitles: use .playlist-title selector instead of
  .mdc-list-item__primary-text which no longer matches playlist-item component
- Fix category-management test: re-navigate to sources page after
  refreshSource since refresh navigates away from sources
- Fix recent.e2e test: remove switchUnifiedCollectionContent calls after
  clearRecentItems since the content toggle disappears when all items cleared
- Fix stalker mock server: generate numeric episode IDs ("1","2",...) in
  season.series array so toSeriesNumbers() can parse them; previously used
  non-numeric IDs like "30000-s1-e1" which parsed to NaN, producing empty
  episode arrays and causing playFirstSeriesEpisode to time out
