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.
- save Xtream playlist details through browser-safe metadata persistence in PWA\n- keep PWA Xtream data source cache in sync with current playlist metadata\n- cover dialog close timing, stale cache, and PWA data-source bootstrap regression
- 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.

refactor(electron-backend): enhance store service and database path handling
- Modified store service to use a dynamic configuration directory based on environment.
- Refactored database connection to utilize new path utility functions for better path management.
fix(e2e): improve test selectors and structure for better reliability
- Updated test selectors in web-e2e tests to use role-based queries for better accessibility.
- Refactored settings tests to reduce redundancy and improve clarity.
chore(e2e): update TypeScript configuration for better inclusion of test files
- Adjusted tsconfig.json to ensure proper inclusion of e2e test files.
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.
