* feat(settings): search settings from the header and the command palette
The header search on the Settings page was shown but disabled. It now
searches a shared index of all 56 settings rows by translated title,
description and English synonyms, replaces the section page with ranked
results, and opens a result by scrolling to, focusing and briefly
highlighting its row. Enter opens the best match, and the section
navigation shows per-section match counts.
The command palette gains a "Settings" group that lists the best six
matches for a non-empty query, so any setting is one Ctrl/Cmd+K away.
Rows hidden by the current form state fall back to the control that
reveals them; rows the runtime cannot render are never returned.
The index ships through a new @iptvnator/workspace/shell/util/settings-search
sub-entrypoint so it stays out of the eager bundle, and a registry spec
keeps it in step with the section templates.

* fix(settings): let search reveals win over pending input and gate embedded MPV rows
- A reveal (result click, command palette, Enter) now cancels a search
keystroke still waiting for its debounce, so its q navigation can no
longer supersede the reveal and leave the results open.
- Embedded MPV extra options and auto-reconnect require a lazily probed
embedded MPV capability; frame copy also needs frameCopyAvailable, so
search never offers a row the settings page cannot render.
- Keyboard users keep a focus-visible ring on the revealed row after the
highlight fades.

Tier A coverage runs projects a few at a time (largest first, bounded Jest workers, buffered output, fail-fast kept) and ts-jest transpiles with isolatedModules instead of type-checking per process; five type re-exports become export type, two decorated inputs use import type. Unit Tests and Typechecks job: 26 min -> 9 min (Tier A step 23 min -> 6.5 min).

Registering IPC handlers costs 0.4 ms; evaluating the modules behind them (axios, drizzle-orm, better-sqlite3, electron-updater, fix-path) before the window could load was the real cost. main.ts now keeps only the pre-paint wiring and loads the rest as the deferred-events.js chunk inside the main window's did-start-loading listener, where the import and its registrations complete before any renderer invoke can arrive.
Interleaved A/B on the performance build: app.whenReady 323 -> 265 ms, did-finish-load 499 -> 447 ms; J1 journey spawnToDidFinishLoad ~405 -> ~365 ms with identical counters. Packaging ships the chunk explicitly, verify:package-layout requires it, and the benchmark build identity hashes it.

main.js is now a small entry that enables Node's on-disk V8 compile cache under userData/v8-compile-cache and then requires the application bundle main.app.js. Warm launches reach app.whenReady about 13 ms sooner at the median; IPTVNATOR_DISABLE_COMPILE_CACHE=1 turns it off and IPTVNATOR_COMPILE_CACHE_DIR relocates it.
Packaging now ships main.app.js explicitly and verify:package-layout requires the main-process entry files in app.asar, because nx-electron copies the backend through an allowlist. The Xtream benchmark build identity hashes both the launcher and the bundle.

* test(performance): add the J1 launch-to-usable journey benchmark
Implements plan items A1, A3 (J1 only) and the minimal A4 from
.plans/2026-09-25-performance-journeys-ratchet.md.
- journey-renderer-probe.ts: init-script probe counting DOM mutations,
layout shifts and long tasks until the first source card is visible on
/workspace with the splash removed; unit-tested with jsdom fixtures.
- journey-main-ipc-capture.ts: counts bridge invocations from the preload's
renderer-API trace channel up to a sentinel call the probe fires, so the
IPC counter is exact without touching production code.
- launch.journey.ts + playwright.journeys.config.ts: seeded profile (one
M3U source, one Xtream portal on the loopback mock), one warm-up and five
measured iterations, fresh process and data directory each, writing
dist/performance/journeys/<timestamp>/summary.json with exact counters
and P50/P90 wall-clock.
- Nx target electron-backend-e2e:journeys and root script perf:journeys.
- docs/architecture/performance-journeys.md, README, context and
validation map entries.
renderer.cdTicksToFirstCard and main.sqlStatementsBeforeReadyToShow are
reported as unavailable with the reason instead of being faked.

* test(performance): gate the renderer load so the probes never race startup
Review follow-up for #1698.
- journey-renderer-gate.cjs: a main-process hook loaded with `-r` (the
mechanism Playwright uses for its own loader) makes the first
loadFile/loadURL navigate to about:blank and holds the real load until
the test releases it. Playwright reports no page before a navigation
commits, so this is what lets the renderer probe be registered on the
page before the real document exists; the IPC capture is installed
before the release too. A safety timeout releases the gate on its own
and marks the iteration invalid. Unit-tested with a fake BrowserWindow.
- launch-journey-app.ts: registers the probe on the parked page, releases
the gate, waits for the real document to commit, fails fast when the
probe is missing, and refuses an iteration whose gate timed out, saw a
second load, or released before the probe was in place.
- journey-renderer-probe.ts: entries delivered live after the terminal
batch are buffered and filtered by the same cutoff as queued ones, and
the cutoff is sampled in a timer queued from the first rAF, i.e. after
the card's frame is painted, so the render task's long task and layout
shift are consistently included.
- launch-journey-record.ts: layoutShiftScore rounded to three decimals; a
0.0001 shift flipped in and out of the cutoff between iterations.
- playwright.journeys.config.ts: reuse a mock server left on the journeys
port locally (its fixtures are deterministic); CI still starts its own.

* test(performance): validate the journey gate after the probe completes
Codex follow-up on #1698: the gate state returned by release() cannot see a
reload or recovery navigation that happens before the first card. Re-read the
live state once the renderer probe has finished and validate that instead,
so an iteration spanning an extra navigation is rejected.

* test(performance): fail an iteration whose performance observers were unavailable
Codex follow-up on #1698: a renderer that cannot observe layout-shift or
longtask entries used to pass the probe with zero counters, which a ratchet
could not tell apart from a genuine zero. The probe assertion now rejects
such an iteration and names the missing observer.

Plan thread C1, journey **J1 `launch`**, counter **`renderer.initialBytes`**. Stacked on #1694 → #1693 → #1692; merge in order.
`apps/web/src/app/app-date-locales.ts` imported the locale data of all 18 supported languages eagerly, so every user shipped and parsed all of it at startup. Each locale is now a dynamic import keyed by the Angular locale id that `normalizeDateLocale()` derives from the app language (`by` → `be`, `ary` → `ar-MA`, `zhtw` → `zh-Hant`); English needs no data.
Ordering is preserved so no template renders a locale whose data has not arrived (Angular throws in that case):
- `main.ts` awaits the initial language's data (from `getInitialLanguage()`) before `bootstrapApplication`.
- Both `TranslateService.use()` call sites, `AppComponent.initSettings()` and `SettingsFormFacade.applySavedSettings()`, register the data first through the new `AppDateLocaleService`.
- A failed load never leaves the locale without data: English formatting is registered under the requested id (eager 1.1 KB `@angular/common/locales/en`), so `DatePipe` renders instead of throwing; the locale is not marked registered, so the next call retries and a success replaces the fallback (review follow-up).
- `AppDateLocaleService.use()` orders switches by request, not by completion: a switch whose data arrives after a newer request is dropped, so the language chosen last wins (review follow-up).
No kill switch: behavior is identical once the locale resolves, and the only new failure mode (a same-origin chunk failing to load) is shared with every lazy route.

Second step of the performance-journeys ratchet, stacked on #1692 (merge that first; this PR retargets to `master` automatically).
- `tools/performance/journey-baselines.json`: J1 `launch` / `renderer.initialBytes` = **2,739,510 bytes**, the ubuntu runner's production build of `apps/web` at this content (after #1692 stopped bundling `package.json` into `main.js`). A local macOS build of this pre-#1695 code is 2 bytes smaller in `main.js` (the eager locale imports); once #1695 removes them the two are byte-identical. Correction to an earlier version of this description: the "556-byte macOS vs Linux difference" was almost entirely `package.json` text embedded in `main.js`, which moved with every script edit in this stack, plus this 2-byte residue. The runner is the canonical measurer; the CI run on the stacked #1694 branch (this content plus the job) is where the number is confirmed.
- `tools/performance/check-journey-ratchet.mjs` compares a journey summary with the baselines: a counter above its value fails (exact, no slack), wall-clock entries fail above `value × toleranceRatio`, a baseline without a measurement fails so dropping a measurement cannot disable the ratchet, values below baseline print a "tighten" hint, and measured counters without a baseline are noted only. After review: checking nothing (empty file, or `--only` naming a missing entry) fails; a counter is read only from `counters` and a wall-clock entry only from `wallClock`; the repeatable `--only <journey>/<counter>` flag scopes a check.
- Root scripts: `perf:initial-bytes:check` (measures into its own `dist/performance/initial-bytes.summary.json`, then checks `--only launch/renderer.initialBytes`) and `perf:ratchet:check` (full check); `perf:tools:test` runs both test files, as does `pnpm nx test performance-tools`.
- `docs/architecture/performance-journeys.md` gains the Ratchet section (file format, rules, "baselines only move down"); the validation map lists the check.
The CI job that runs the check on every PR is #1694; C1 (lazy Angular date locales, #1695) then lowers the baseline with the measured output as evidence.
Note: `ci.yml` only triggers on pull requests targeting `master`, so this stacked PR shows no Actions runs until #1692 merges. The evidence runs above were dispatched with `gh workflow run ci.yml --ref <branch>`.

First step of the performance-journeys ratchet (plan thread: J1 `launch`, counter `renderer.initialBytes`).
- `tools/performance/measure-initial-bytes.mjs` reads the built `dist/apps/web/index.html` and sums `index.html` plus every same-origin `<script src>`, `<link rel="stylesheet">` and `<link rel="modulepreload">` it references. Manifest, icons, external URLs and lazy chunks are not counted. A referenced file missing from the build fails the measurement instead of counting as zero bytes.
- `--json` prints the breakdown; `--summary <file>` writes the `journeys.<journey>.counters` shape a ratchet checker will consume (next PR).
- New Nx project `performance-tools` (test + lint targets), Tier B in `tools/coverage/coverage-policy.json`, root scripts `perf:initial-bytes` and `perf:tools:test`.
- New contract `docs/architecture/performance-journeys.md`, linked from the validation map, the agent context map and the README.
- **Review follow-ups:** resources are deduplicated by request URL (query kept, fragment dropped); `index.html` is parsed with parse5 (already a repository dependency, scripting enabled), so comments, bogus comments, raw-text bodies (script/style/noscript/title/textarea), inert `<template>` contents and character references in attributes all follow the HTML5 algorithm instead of a hand-written scanner; the review's edge cases stay as regression tests; docs show the `pnpm --silent` form for JSON output and explain how the counter relates to Angular's rounded "Initial total".
- **Found while measuring:** the environment files and the playback diagnostic panel imported the whole `package.json` (`import packageJson from '@package'`), which esbuild cannot tree-shake, so `main.js` carried the complete file and the counter moved with every script or dependency edit. They now import `{ version }` only (eb662c485): `main.js` shrinks by **11,539 bytes** and the counter no longer depends on `package.json`. Jest's ESM loader exposes JSON only as a default export, so the two web Jest configs map `@package` to a stub that serves the real file's fields as named exports. Release note: `.changes/web-version-only-from-package-json.md` (`type: perf`).
Production build after this PR measures **2,739,508 bytes** (11 files + `index.html`); Angular's "Initial total" is this minus `index.html` and `assets/app-config.js`. The baseline file and the CI check land in the follow-up PRs; C1 (lazy Angular date locales) then lowers it.

* test(electron): reap Windows process trees and retain smoke diagnostics
* test(electron): require confirmed process exit before relaunch
* test(electron): retain process handle after application exit
* test(electron): bind captured processes to application instances
* docs(tmdb): replace catalog titles in matching examples with stand-ins
The Cyrillic and Arabic examples that document title folding were taken
straight from a user's own portal catalog while the folding bugs were being
diagnosed, and they spread from there into comments, fixtures, assertions and
the architecture doc. A public repository is not the place for someone's
viewing inventory, and the TMDB ids pinned alongside them identify the exact
shows.
Swap in stand-ins that reproduce the property under test rather than the
title: a word whose "й" folds away, one whose "ё" does, a two-word title
carrying a season marker, an Arabic phrase whose initial hamza decomposes into
a separate word. Every replacement was run through the real `normalizeTitle`
and `cleanTitleForSearch` before being written, so the folded keys, the wire
queries and the cache lookup keys are the same shape as before — "Лейка" and
"Леика" still meet on one key while staying two different searches, and
"AR| أمثلة تجريبية" still keys as a hamza split into a space. Real TMDB ids
become synthetic ones. One channel fixture that read as a film title becomes a
plain channel name.
Deliberately left alone: the leading-tag rule's "Akira | 1988" / "Момо | Momo"
examples in `title-normalization.util.ts`. Those are not an inventory — they
are the evidence for a regex decision measured over 1.27M catalog titles, and
inventing replacements would document a measurement that never happened.
No release note: comments, fixtures and docs only, with no behaviour change.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* docs(tmdb): label the folding stand-ins as illustrative, not as history
Review caught that the substitution left synthetic titles inside sentences
that assert observed fact: the architecture doc claimed a particular folded
query "returns zero results while `Лейка` returns the show" and named the
stand-ins as the titles that were searched, missed and negatively cached, and
several comments read the same way. The titles never existed, so the reading
is wrong in the one direction that matters — a future reader debugging a
regression would take them for production evidence.
Keep the claim that is actually established, which is a class-level one:
under the old single-form design every Cyrillic title carrying "й"/"ё" and
every Arabic title carrying a hamza form was searched folded, missed, and
cached as missing for the negative TTL. Present the strings themselves as
illustrative stand-ins chosen to fold the same way. The verified invariant —
what NFD does to those letters, and what the two tiers therefore produce — is
unchanged and still assertable, because it is a property of the text rather
than of any title.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* docs(tmdb): finish the sweep — a missed cache key and a last observed-fact claim
Two spots the first pass left behind:
- `tmdb-search-cache-cleanup.spec.ts` kept a catalog-derived lookup key
verbatim. Only the TMDB id beside it had been swapped, because the sweep
matched the title in its display casing and the key stores it lowercased —
so one item of the inventory stayed in the repository, twice.
- `SearchTitleVariant`'s doc comment still asserted that one specific folded
string finds nothing on TMDB. State the mechanism instead: folding rewrites
the letters the search matches on, so the folded form finds nothing there.
`content-search.util.sqlite.spec.ts` gets a channel fixture that no longer
reads as a film title.
`search-text-fold.util.spec.ts` is deliberately left alone. Its "Ёлки" is a
common noun sitting in a Unicode corpus beside "Amélie", "İnşaat" and "Ά",
not an inventory entry — and its rows are precomposed/decomposed PAIRS
(U+0401 against U+0415 U+0308). A textual substitution rewrites only the
composed half and silently turns the pair into two different words; doing it
failed that spec, which is what a fixture encoding an invisible property is
for.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* docs(search): finish the fold fixtures by rewriting both halves of the pair
The last two occurrences lived in the Unicode fold corpus, which an earlier
attempt left alone after a textual substitution failed the spec. The reason it
failed is the point: one row is a precomposed/decomposed PAIR — U+0401 against
U+0415 U+0308 — asserting that both spellings fold to one string. Replacing
the visible text rewrites only the composed half and silently turns the pair
into two different words, which is not a thing a reader or a regex can see.
Rewrite both halves by code point instead, keeping the decomposed half
decomposed: U+0415 U+0308 + the new stem. Verified by decoding every quoted
string in the file afterwards, and the spec passes (534/534).
A repository-wide sweep now finds no occurrence of the replaced titles in
either normalization form.

Live channels in Favorites and Recently viewed now offer "Open in <playlist>"
for Stalker portals, the counterpart of the VOD "View in portal" action. The
chip in the programme panel and the channel's context menu jump to the channel
inside its portal's Live TV, with its genre selected and the channel playing.
Radio stays hidden: it is a separate legacy-paged section with no
open-on-arrival contract.
The handoff refuses to guess. The store records which genre the rendered ITV
list belongs to, so the deferred play waits for a list that can actually serve
the channel instead of inferring it from array identity. An id claimed by one
channel as its `id` and another as its `stream_id` is ambiguous, so neither is
played and the user still lands in the right genre. The handoff is abandoned
when the user changes genre, search, portal or section first.
Two pre-existing defects surfaced during review and are fixed here:
- A blank provider id shadowed a valid one. `a ?? b` keeps an empty string, so
a channel with a blank `stream_id` was stored with no identity at all and
could not be selected, played or found again. Six writers had that shape and
three private copies of the skip-the-blank rule; all now go through one
`firstNonBlankStalkerId` helper.
- Route-session readiness could publish before the store held the portal's
row. The constructor starts one sync and the first navigation starts another,
and the second skipped the bootstrap because the playlist id was claimed
before the awaits that install it. Arrivals are now serialized, the id is
claimed only after the store write resolves, and only the newest sync
publishes readiness.
Both fixes carry regression tests that fail on the old behavior.
Xtream and Stalker live cards on the dashboard carried no XMLTV key, so the
rails never asked anything for them and showed only the LIVE chip. Their
programme now comes from the portal, one card at a time and only once the card
is on screen.
- `lib-dashboard-rail` reports the cards inside its viewport through an
IntersectionObserver rooted at the track; `DashboardLiveEpgPresenter` unions
them with the pinned hero row and hands the set to
`DashboardPortalLiveEpgPresenter`.
- `DashboardPortalLiveEpgService` runs the bounded queue — two requests in
flight, 200 ms apart, one card each — through
`StreamResolverService.loadEpgForItems`, publishing every answer the moment
it lands, so the page never waits and a slow portal delays no other card. A
card scrolled past before its turn is never requested.
- A programme is trusted for 60 s, an empty answer for 30 s (the resolver
reports a dead portal and a guide-less channel identically), and a
completion captures both the display offset and the EPG source revision,
requeueing itself when either moved.
- The presenter hands its wanted set back on destroy. Desktop only: the shared
collection resolver is gated on the local XMLTV bridge.
- A shimmer placeholder shows only before a card's first portal answer; M3U
cards keep the batched XMLTV lookup.
Every dashboard title carried a "Xtream · Series" / "Stalker · Movie" subtitle. Provider kind and content kind are the app's own taxonomy, not a property of the title, and they are identical on every card in a rail — so the one line that could tell two cards apart said nothing.
The hero now shows the source name alone, through `playlistDisplayLabel` (a stored playlist name is routinely the pasted URL with credentials, or a MAC). Continue Watching cards show what actually varies: the "S1·E5" chip plus "12 min left". Favorites keep the title alone, Recently Added keeps the source name, and a meta row with nothing in it is no longer rendered.
Stalker shows filed under Movies had no badge, no progress and no resume. An embedded-VOD row announces its episodes through a `series[]` array and carries no `is_series` flag, so `extractStalkerItemType` reports `movie` on purpose — the item must keep routing to the VOD catalog — while its progress is a set of episode positions keyed by the parent id, which the dashboard was looking up as a single `vod` row and never finding.
Split the two questions: `PortalActivityItem.watch_kind` records the progress model when it differs from the routing type, and every reader that has to choose goes through `resolvePortalActivityWatchKind` instead of `type`. That makes the resume handoff reachable for Stalker, so wire it through `STALKER_SERIES_RESUME_TARGET`: consumed once after the series positions are read, hydrating a lazy Ministra season first with a bounded two-attempt retry, and playing nothing at all when the position read failed rather than restarting the episode from zero.
Also fixes the global-recent route template, which bound `[seriesResume]` only on its Xtream branch.

Turkish upper and lower case queries now return the same results everywhere a
title can be searched. Lower-casing the dotted capital "İ" (U+0130) leaves a
combining dot behind, so "İnş" and "inş" reached different search arms and
different results.
- Case folding is locale-invariant: `toLowerCase()`, never `toLocaleLowerCase()`,
which under a Turkish or Azeri OS locale maps ASCII "I" to the dotless "ı".
- The Electron content search composes to NFC and drops the leftover combining
marks before tokenizing, and its LIKE/GLOB pattern builders additionally spell
the `'tr'`-locale İ forms, since SQLite LIKE folds only ASCII.
- A shared `foldSearchText` covers every in-memory filter: channel lists, the
Xtream and Stalker catalogs, category filters, collections, the EPG guide, the
command palette, sources, the playlist switcher and the download lists.
- Composing before the strip keeps canonically equivalent spellings equal while
the fold stays accent-sensitive; the Turkish I/ı pair is deliberately left
alone, as the FTS index does not fold it either.
Covered by a SQLite-backed spec over the real trigram index plus regression
cases in the affected renderer specs.
Closes#609.

* feat(portal): season thumbnails in the season dropdown + PR #1628 follow-ups
Follow-ups to the season posters shipped in #1628:
- The >6-seasons dropdown (`SeasonTabsComponent`) now carries a 28×42
season thumbnail at the start of each menu row that has a poster and in
the closed trigger for the selected season, fed by a new `seasonPosters`
input from the season container and the fullscreen episode panel. Rows
without a poster get no placeholder, a failed image is dropped, and the
pill row stays text-only as the design review decided.
- The fullscreen season strip's episode count uses its own
`PORTALS.EPISODE_COUNT_ONE/OTHER` keys instead of borrowing the download
manager's; all 18 locales filled through the i18n merger from their
existing `DOWNLOADS.EPISODE_COUNT_*` translations.
- The Stalker mock's serve targets no longer pin `PORT` (an nx:run-commands
`env` entry overrides the shell), and `main.ts` resolves `PORT`, then the
Playwright-side `MOCK_PORT` alias, then 3210 — so `MOCK_PORT=3310` now
relocates the whole E2E run. The Xtream mock honours `XTREAM_MOCK_PORT`
the same way.
- `resolveAutoSelectedSeason` gets a direct spec covering every branch.

* fix(xtream-mock): mint marketing asset URLs on the port the server bound
Greptile P1 on #1633: the listener honoured `XTREAM_MOCK_PORT`, but
`marketingAssetOrigin()` still read `PORT` alone, so a run relocated only
through the alias sent every poster/backdrop/logo/episode URL to 3211.
One resolver (`resolveXtreamMockPortString` in `mock-port.ts`: `PORT`,
then `XTREAM_MOCK_PORT`, then 3211) now feeds the environment parser, the
marketing asset origin and the demo-guide origin fallback. A spec pins the
precedence and that `marketingAssetUrl` follows the bound port.

* fix(portals): apply the IPv6->IPv4 fallback budget in the Electron process
The 2500 ms happy-eyeballs attempt timeout from #1404 only ever ran in the
web backend. The Electron main process and its playlist-refresh and EPG
workers kept Node's 250 ms default, so a dual-stack panel hostname behind a
VPN or a slow link failed every connection attempt in a row and tripped the
host connectivity guard. The module now lives in `@iptvnator/shared/host-health`
and every Node isolate that opens connections applies it.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* fix(portals): stop treating a slow panel as a dead one in the host guard
axios raises the same ECONNABORTED whether the SYN went unanswered or the
panel accepted the connection and then thought for longer than the request
budget. Two such timeouts opened the breaker and every request to the panel
was refused for 30 s with "portal is not responding" — the shape behind the
"connection keeps dropping" reports on 0.23 and nightly.
Both transports now report whether the TCP connection was established
(`onConnect`: Electron through a per-request observed agent instead of the
shared keep-alive globalAgent, the web backend through the transport that owns
the ClientRequest), and `classifyHostRequestFailure(error, { connected })`
downgrades a host-level code observed after the handshake to inconclusive.
Redirect attribution keeps precedence. A host that never accepts the
connection trips the guard exactly as before.
The Xtream mock gains a `silent:silent` scenario whose detail actions accept
and never answer, plus a real-socket regression spec for the guard.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* fix(portals): let an accepted connection clear the host-failure streak
Review finding: an unanswered SYN, then an accepted-but-slow timeout, then
another unanswered SYN still reached the two-failure threshold, because the
middle request was merely not counted. An accepted TCP connection is the
reachability the guard measures, so it now reads as `responded` and clears
the streak like an HTTP response would. Regression coverage for the mixed
sequence on one flapping loopback origin (Electron) and through the proxy
route (web backend).
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* fix(portals): credit an accepted connection when it happens, not when the request settles
Review findings. A request that connected and then hung for 30 s cleared,
on its eventual timeout, the failures later requests had recorded while it
waited — reopening a host that had just died on evidence older than theirs.
The connect hook now reports the connection the moment it fires through a
new `HostConnectivityGuard.reportConnected`, which clears the failure streak
but closes no open or half-open breaker (the trial keeps its slot until it
settles), and the settled timeout is inconclusive.
Electron also skips the socket observer while an environment proxy
(`http_proxy` / `https_proxy` / `all_proxy`) applies to the request: through
a proxy the socket connects to the proxy, whose handshake proves nothing
about the portal, so those requests keep the pre-observer behaviour.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* fix(portals): decide the proxy exemption with axios' own resolution
Review findings. The hand-rolled environment check ignored `no_proxy`, so a
LAN portal exempted from the proxy lost its connect observer and slow
requests to it still tripped the breaker; it also read the variables with
`??`, letting an empty lowercase one mask a populated uppercase one that
axios would honour. The decision now calls `proxy-from-env`'s
`getProxyForUrl`, the same pinned package axios' http adapter uses,
declared as a direct dependency so the packaged app carries it.
The validated-axios spec clears and restores every proxy variable around each
case, so a runner that exports a proxy cannot change what the cases prove.

* fix(settings): make the update-channel check honest and keep release notes fresh
Settings → About mixed two commit models: the channel select applied on
Save while "Check again" ran immediately against the still-saved channel,
so picking Nightly and checking reported "latest version" for Stable under
a select reading Nightly. The status now carries a badge naming the channel
the verdict describes; while the select shows an unsaved other channel the
verdict is dimmed, a hint names both channels, and the check button becomes
"Save and check for <channel> updates", which submits the form — the main
process already re-checks when the saved channel changes. A download in
flight or finished belongs to the previous channel and keeps the plain
check.
"What's new" for a nightly published after the app started failed with a
raw IPC error: each release catalog is a process-lifetime snapshot and a
fully paged list never re-read GitHub. findIndex now reloads the catalog
once when a version is missing, and a newly found update drops every
catalog. The dialog recognises the not-found rejection through the shared
marker text, explains it with the version, and links to the channel's
release list; other failures keep their reason under a localized headline.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* fix(updater): serialize readers of one release catalog
findIndex may rebuild the shared release array while another reader of
the same catalog still holds an index into the old one and dereferences
it after paging further. Every reader now runs through the catalog's
runExclusive queue (getReleaseNotes and the manual-update check), so a
reload can no longer pull the list out from under a navigation.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* fix(settings): attribute a kept download to the channel it was found on
setChannel keeps a download that is running or finished when the saved
channel changes, but status.channel already names the new channel, so the
About badge attributed a Stable download to Nightly and the pending hint
vanished. Every check now stamps status.verdictChannel with the channel it
ran on and setChannel leaves it alone; the badge names that channel, and
while it differs from the saved one a hint says the shown update came from
the other channel and the saved one has not been checked yet.

* refactor(updater): move release-notes reads out of AppUpdateService
AppUpdateReleaseCatalogs (app-update-release-notes.ts) now owns the
per-channel catalogs and both reads the updater performs on them: release
notes with previous/next paging and the newest release for the
manual-install fallback. The service only delegates, shrinking from 610
to 508 lines instead of growing.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* docs(updater): name verdictChannel as the badge's source
The About paragraph still said the badge reads status.channel while the
paragraph below it and the code use status.verdictChannel.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* fix(settings): show the release list, not the earlier release, after a paging failure
A failed Previous/Next keeps the earlier notes for navigation while the
body shows the error, so the dialog's action offered the earlier release
instead of the channel release list. The error is now checked first.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* fix(updater): do not reload the catalog before falling back to latest
A read that falls back to the newest release on a miss (the installed
version's notes, e.g. an unpublished local build) paged the whole list
twice: findIndex reloaded on the miss before index 0 was selected. The
reload is now opt-in per call and off on that path.

The "ClearKey reopens from recent and favorites collections" spec does
five cold `page.goto` loads of the dev-served app. On the CI runner each
one costs ~6 s, so the default 30 s test timeout expired on the last
route: every attempt in the affected runs ended as `timedOut`, and the
retry trace's final screencast frame shows `/workspace/global-favorites`
still on the startup screen at 29.7 s. The two reported "shapes" were
just where the clock ran out.
Size the test like the other multi-load specs (`test.setTimeout(90_000)`)
and assert the "All playlists" radio is checked before waiting for a row
only that scope can show, so a lost click fails on the toggle instead of
surfacing as a missing row.

Series detail pages now render the selected season's poster as a season
cover next to the season tabs and description, and the fullscreen episode
panel shows the same poster as a season strip above its tabs.
Resolution is TMDB-first, like the show artwork merge: the lazy season
enrichment stores `/tv/{id}/season/{n}` `poster_path` as a w342 URL in
`tmdb_season_posters` (Xtream) or `StalkerSeriesTmdbSeasonsService.posters()`
(Stalker), under the same write-only-if-changed convergence guard as the
season overview. Xtream falls back to the provider's `seasons[].cover_big`/
`cover` when it is an http(s) URL other than the show poster, because panels
repeat the show poster on every season. Stalker is TMDB-only.
The cover column is not rendered for one-season items, seasons without a
poster, or a failed image, so every fallback is today's markup. It is sized
by a new `--season-cover-width` token (96/120/144px per Settings.coverSize).
The hero poster never follows the season.

The two "channel scrolling keeps focus after selection" cases (and the
Xtream "channel focus and separate scrollbar" cases, which press Tab the
same way) failed deterministically on Playwright WebKit while passing on
Chromium and Firefox. Playwright's WebKit emulates Safari's default
keyboard preference, under which plain Tab visits only text fields and
links: from the focused channel pane the key landed on the sidebar search
field instead of the first row button. Option+Tab reaches the button and
then the favorite action in the same DOM order Chromium's Tab follows, so
the app's focus contract (ChannelScrollFocusDirective) is intact and this
is Safari's Tab semantics, not an app bug.
Add a `pressTab` E2E helper that presses Alt+Tab only on webkit and keeps
the literal Tab / Shift+Tab on chromium and firefox, use it at the four
Tab presses toward buttons, and note Safari's behaviour in the keyboard
scrolling contract.

`apps/electron-backend/build-embedded-mpv.js` resolves the compiler with
`require.resolve('node-gyp/bin/node-gyp.js')` and its comment claimed the
package was "a declared devDependency" — it never was. node-gyp reached the
tree only as a transitive of `@electron/rebuild`, in pnpm's hidden hoist
(`node_modules/.pnpm/node_modules`). pnpm's `.bin` shims export that
directory on NODE_PATH, which is why `pnpm nx …`, `pnpm run build:backend`
and CI kept building the addon, while a plain
`node apps/electron-backend/build-embedded-mpv.js` on a clean install failed
with "Unable to resolve node-gyp".
Declare node-gyp 12.4.0 (the version already in the lockfile store) as a root
devDependency so the resolution no longer depends on a shim implementation
detail, correct the stale comment, and record the contract in the
embedded-MPV architecture doc plus the Agent Bootstrap notes.
No packaged-build change: the no-runtime skip and its
`embedded-mpv-unavailable.txt` marker are untouched.

* feat(shell): zoom shortcuts on Windows and Linux (#1109)
Cmd/Ctrl and +/−/0 (numpad included) now zoom the app on every platform.
Windows/Linux run without a menu (`setMenu(null)`), so the shortcuts are a
renderer key binding in `WorkspaceKeyboardShortcutsService` calling a new
synchronous, preload-local bridge method `adjustZoomLevel`, which steps the
frame-bound temporary level through `webFrame.setZoomLevel` — never a
main-process `webContents.setZoomLevel`, whose per-URL entry the app's
`file://` path routing resets. Step and limits live in
`libs/shared/interfaces` (`stepZoomLevel`: 0.5 per press like Electron's
zoomIn/zoomOut roles, clamped to levels −4…6). On macOS the renderer sees the
key before the application menu, and `preventDefault()` keeps the menu role
from stepping a second time (Electron only performs the menu key equivalent
in its unhandled-keyboard-event hook).
Persistence is unchanged: the main process still reads the live level back
on close, quit and reload. The zoom E2E now drives the real shortcuts (in,
out, numpad, reset). Help dialog entries added and translated for all
locales; contract updated in docs/architecture/workspace-shell.md.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* fix(shell): never step a stored out-of-range zoom level against the request
A level persisted before the shortcuts existed (the macOS menu roles never
clamped, and the store restores any finite level) was clamped BEFORE the
step, so the first zoom-in from level 7 rendered smaller. Step from the raw
level instead: a press further out leaves an out-of-range level where it is,
a press back in lands on the limit.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* docs(shell): state the zoom bridge's return contract precisely
`adjustZoomLevel` steps by `stepZoomLevel`'s rules; a stored out-of-range
level is never moved against the request, so the returned level is not
itself guaranteed to be within `ZOOM_LEVEL_MIN..ZOOM_LEVEL_MAX`.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* docs(release): add a release note for the zoom shortcuts
The Release note gate requires an added `.changes/*.md` for runtime changes;
the shortcuts are a user-visible feature of their own, so they get their own
note and the persistence note stays about persistence.

Movie and series detail pages showed two arrow_back controls while the
inline player was open: the shell's sticky arrow (added in #1576 so Back
survives scrolling) meant "Close player" in watch state, while the
now-playing bar carried a second arrow that meant route-level Back — the
same icon with two meanings, next to a "Close player" button that
duplicated the first.
The shell's sticky arrow is now route-level Back in browse and watch
alike, and the bar carries no arrow of its own. Closing the player is
the bar's "Close player" button and Escape, which still unwinds one
level (close, then back). Hosts without a browse Back target (M3U,
downloads) render no arrow in either state.
Unit specs for the shell and the inline player cover the new contract;
the Electron and web E2E helpers that pressed Back from watch are
updated, and the M3U flow closes the player through the bar's button.
Docs, the mirrored CLAUDE.md/AGENTS.md paragraph and a release note
follow the change.

The packaged renderer is index.html over file:// with path routing, so
after in-app navigation the document URL names a path with no file behind
it. A main-process reload (macOS View > Reload, DevTools) failed with
ERR_FILE_NOT_FOUND and stranded the window on Chromium's error page; a
renderer-initiated reload (the settings unsaved-changes guard's confirmed
location.reload()) was cancelled by the will-navigate trust check and
silently did nothing.
Both legs now re-load the packaged index with the route in a restoreRoute
query parameter, which main.ts restores with history.replaceState before
Angular bootstraps. The did-fail-load recovery is deferred to the error
page's dom-ready: a load issued from inside the failure event yields a
document that never receives animation frames and never paints.

Series playing in fullscreen get the same slide-in side panel the live channel list has, with season tabs and the episode list: rest the mouse on the left edge, click it, or press C; pick an episode and it plays inline without leaving fullscreen.
- Panel contract: `FullscreenChannelPanelHost` gains optional `panelSearchEnabled` and `panelKind`; the template context gains `open`. Pointer/keyboard rules and the four live providers are unchanged.
- Series host: `PortalInlinePlayerComponent` provides the token through `createEpisodePanelHost()` and stamps `app-fullscreen-episode-panel` (SeasonTabsComponent over rows with TMDB still or numeral tile, label, runtime, clamped overview, progress, watched check, now-playing marker; playing row centred on open). Episode clicks reuse the Up Next rail's inline path; season tab clicks reach the hosts' `onSeasonSelected` (Xtream TMDB season enrichment, Stalker lazy VOD load with a Retry row after a failed request).
- Gates: `Settings.fullscreenChannelPanel` (label now covers both lists in all locales), episode content only, native-view Embedded MPV withheld by the view, external players excluded.
- Inline-series e2e moved to `xtream-series-playback.e2e.ts` with shared Xtream helpers in a fixture; adds a fullscreen episode switch through the panel.

* fix(shell): persist and restore the app zoom level (#1109)
The app-wide zoom (Cmd/Ctrl and +/-) was never saved, so it reset to the
default on every restart. Save the webContents zoom level next to the window
bounds on window close and before quit, and reapply it once the renderer
finishes loading. webContents zoom is per-host, so the restored level then
holds across in-app section navigation (SPA route changes never reload).
* fix(shell): restore the zoom level as frame-bound temporary zoom (#1109)
Under file:// Chromium keys zoom by the full URL, and the packaged
renderer routes with pushState, so a level applied through
webContents.setZoomLevel belongs to index.html only: the first resize
after a section change snapped the renderer back to the default, and
the close handler read the current route's entry (usually 0) over the
user's choice. The preload now applies the persisted level with
webFrame.setZoomLevel, a temporary zoom bound to the frame that survives
in-page navigation and resizes; the main process hands it over through
the synchronous WINDOW:GET_ZOOM_LEVEL IPC and writes the live level back
on close, before-quit and before every cross-document navigation, since
a reload drops the temporary level.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* fix(shell): apply the restored zoom level at DOMContentLoaded (#1109)
A webFrame.setZoomLevel at preload start left a hidden window without a
first frame on Linux and Windows: ready-to-show never fired, the window
never showed, and the renderer got no animation frames, so the startup
splash removed in a requestAnimationFrame stayed. macOS was unaffected
and CDP-driven tests force frames, which is why only the packaged
legacy-migration E2E asserting the splash is gone caught it. Applying
once the document is parsed is harmless and still lands before the
first Angular paint; ownership of the level now follows the preload's
WINDOW:ZOOM_LEVEL_APPLIED acknowledgement instead of the request. The
release note no longer advertises Ctrl shortcuts Windows and Linux do
not have.

* feat(updater): nightly builds and a stable/nightly update channel
Every master push publishes its artifacts as a prerelease of
4gray/iptvnator-nightly instead of the rolling test-master draft, with a
version of <next patch>-nightly.<commit date>.<run number> applied in
every build job. Settings → About gains an Update channel switch;
AppUpdateService re-points electron-updater per check (feed repository,
allowPrerelease, channel name, allowDowngrade reset) and reads release
notes from the repository the requested version belongs to. Channel
switches are forward-only: a nightly build stays until a newer stable
release exists.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* fix(updater): compute the nightly version once and keep re-runs safe
Review follow-ups: the nightly version is resolved by a leading job and
handed to every build job, and the patch is bumped only when the base
tag already exists so the release-cut window stays below the imminent
release. A re-run never deletes a published nightly; only a draft left
by a failed run is replaced. Typed update-status literals in the
remaining specs carry the new channel fields.

* chore(deps): upgrade Angular to 22.1 and Nx to 23.2
* fix(deps): complete Angular migrations after rebasing on master
* fix(ci): use the Node pin for Windows runtime refresh
* docs(deps): synchronize the workspace-shell Node requirements
* feat(portals): posters-only cover wall for movie and series grids
Add `Settings.showCoverTitles` (Settings > General, default on). Turning it
off drops the title row under VOD/series covers in catalog, favorites and
recent grids and reveals the title as a bottom-gradient overlay on hover and
keyboard focus, pinned open for items whose cover is missing or failed.
`CoverTitlesService` is the single resolver: the opt-out AND a hover-capable
pointer, so touch-only devices keep their titles. Live channel grids, search
results, "recently added" rails and dashboard rails always keep labels.
Catalog and collection cards become keyboard buttons (role, tabindex,
aria-label, Enter/Space, focus ring) and poster alt text is the title. The
default-on boolean coercion moves into `settings-opt-out.util.ts` because
the settings store reached the max-lines limit.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* fix(portals): keep nested Remove key presses from activating the card
Enter/Space on the content card's nested Remove button bubbled into the
card's own key handlers: Enter opened the item before removing it and
Space opened it while cancelling the removal. Only keys pressed on the
card element itself now activate it. Regression spec added.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* fix(portals): keep cover titles while an in-section search filters the grid
The posters-only wall exempts search results because they are identified
by the name the user typed; the category grid's own in-section filter is
the same case, so `app-grid-list` now keeps the title row while its
`searchTerm` is non-blank. Contract docs updated, regression spec added.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* fix(portals): keep cover titles while the collection tab search is active
The unified favorites/recent tab filters by its own search term, so its
matches are identified by name like every other search result. The tab
now opts its cards out of the posters-only wall while the term is
non-blank. Contract docs updated, regression spec added.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* fix(portals): move the card Remove control out of the button surface
An interactive control nested inside a role="button" is an invalid
accessibility structure. The content card's activation surface is now its
own inner element and the Remove button a sibling positioned over the
poster corner, labelled by its tooltip text. Spec asserts the control is
never a descendant of the button.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* fix(portals): draw the collection card focus ring where it is not clipped
The card's overflow: hidden clipped an outline drawn on the inner
activation surface on every edge, so keyboard users saw no focus
indication. The ring now sits on the outer card via
:has(> .content-card__activation:focus-visible).

* fix(portals): detect any hover-capable pointer for the posters-only wall
`hover` describes only the primary pointer, so a touch-first tablet with

reads `(any-hover: hover)`.

* feat(epg): accept local XMLTV files as EPG sources
Settings → EPG and the playlist dialog accepted `file://` in their form
pattern, but the main process rejected everything except http(s), so a local
XMLTV entry saved fine and then failed on import. Both surfaces now take a
remote link, a `file:` URL, an absolute POSIX path or a Windows drive/UNC
path (`classifyEpgSourceReference` in shared/interfaces), and the settings
section spells out the accepted formats with examples.
The EPG worker opens every source through `openEpgSourceStream`: remote
links keep the validated-redirect client and trust policy, local files are
read from disk behind the signature-sniffing optional gunzip stage, so
.xml, .xml.gz and extension-less gzip all parse. Only hand-typed sources
may be local: `extractM3uEpgUrls` harvests http(s) links only from M3U
headers, since the local branch bypasses `validateRemoteUrl`.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* feat(epg): pick local XMLTV files with a native file dialog
A folder button beside each EPG source row (Settings → EPG and the playlist
dialog) opens the native open-file dialog and writes the chosen absolute
path into the row. New `EPG_OPEN_FILE_DIALOG` IPC behind
`ElectronBridgeApi.openEpgFileDialog`, gated in the renderer by
`RuntimeCapabilitiesService.supportsEpgFilePicker`.
The row's refresh/remove buttons carry `data-test-id`s now, and the EPG
e2e suites address them by id instead of index, since the folder button
became the first button in a row.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* fix(epg): authorize local XMLTV files in the main process
Review follow-up (Greptile P1, Codex P1). The renderer hands source strings
to FETCH_EPG/EPG_FORCE_FETCH unchanged, so the form validator alone could
not enforce the provenance rule: a compromised renderer, or a legacy
`file://` entry an older version stored from an M3U header, could name any
file on disk.
`EpgWorkerService.startFetch` now asks a main-process
`EpgLocalSourceAuthorizer` before a local path reaches the worker: a path
the native picker returned is trusted at once, a hand-typed path is
confirmed once in a native message box the renderer cannot fake, and a
refusal is reported in the progress panel. Allowed paths persist under
TRUSTED_LOCAL_EPG_SOURCES in the main-process config. The worker opens its
local branch only when main set `allowLocalFile`; the service defaults to
deny-all until epg.events installs the persisted authorizer.
`resolvePlaylistEpgSourceState` and `filterPlaylistEpgUrlsForFetch` drop a
stored non-remote entry unless it is also in `manualEpgUrls`.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* fix(epg): fail a refused local EPG fetch instead of resolving it
Review follow-up (Codex P2). A denied native confirmation now rejects the
fetch after reporting the error row, so handleFetchEpg and the renderer's
fetch result cannot claim the file was read. Also restores the unrelated
CLAUDE.md paragraph an earlier formatter pass had reflowed into a list.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* fix(epg): cancel a local source retired during its authorization prompt
Review follow-up (Codex P2). startFetch keeps the request generation
captured before awaiting the native confirmation and rechecks it
afterwards: a source retired meanwhile ends as cancelled instead of
starting an import that a pending clear would then have to await.

* test(epg): leave the local XMLTV e2e with a pristine settings form
The local-file test ended with the EPG source field still dirty, which
arms the main-process close guard: the app then waited for the unsaved
changes dialog instead of closing, the close timeout killed it, and on
Windows the killed process kept iptvnator.db busy (EBUSY on the data-dir
cleanup) and hung the Playwright worker teardown. Discarding the form
before the app closes takes the test from 15 s to 4 s locally.

Every page pulled its three typefaces from fonts.googleapis.com and
fonts.gstatic.com, each blog post fetched the author avatar from
githubusercontent.com, and the giscus client script ran on page load. That is
four outside origins contacted before a reader does anything, each costing a
DNS lookup and a TLS handshake on the critical path.
Fonts now come from the @fontsource packages the app already uses and are
emitted as .woff2 beside the site; the avatar is a 3 KB file in public/; and
the giscus embed is created by a "Show comments" button that carries the
configuration as data attributes, so the script is only built when a reader
asks for it.
A delivered page now makes no third-party request at all, verified across the
whole build. The variable Bricolage package names itself "Bricolage Grotesque
Variable", so that exact name leads the display stack in the Tailwind config.
The giscus test now checks the button configuration and asserts the client
script is absent from the delivered HTML.

"TiviMate for PC" is the query behind most of this page's traffic, so the
page now names the apps people mean instead of describing a category. What
it says about them is what could actually be verified: TiviMate's Google
Play listing (Android and Android TV, reads M3U, Xtream Codes and Stalker,
"a media player that provides no content"), and IPTV Smarters publishing
Windows and macOS builds — which is why the page does not claim TV apps
have no desktop version.
The useful half is the part no affiliate site writes: these names are
heavily abused, the stores carry copycat listings, and much of the search
result for any of them is someone selling "subscriptions" under the app's
brand. The developers are player authors who do not sell channels, which is
exactly what IPTVnator says about itself — the page links to our own
unofficial-websites post for the same reason.
Three FAQ entries answer the query directly, and the page joins the
NAMES_THIRD_PARTY_SOFTWARE set so the test requires its dated disclaimer.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Third page in the set, and the one that answers the question people ask
before installing anything: where should IPTV actually run. It compares the
two places rather than two products — everything that needs a keyboard
(adding a provider, attaching a guide, mapping a channel, working out why a
stream fails) against everything that needs a couch — and states plainly
that IPTVnator has no TV build, with the phone remote as the answer for a
laptop wired to the television.
No third-party software is named, so the page carries no ThirdPartyNote: the
rows describe the ordinary experience of each kind of device and say so in
the caption.
The compare hub's lead no longer claims every page is a choice inside the
app, and the three newest entries get distinct icons.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Second page under the third-party rules. Kodi is a media center that reaches
IPTV through a PVR add-on, so the comparison is about shape rather than
score: where the source comes in, what each program is built for, and the
platforms. The tables say plainly what Kodi does that IPTVnator does not —
a local library with scraped metadata, add-ons and skins, a remote-friendly
interface and builds for TV boxes and a Raspberry Pi — and the verdict tells
a reader already running Kodi on a TV to stay there.
Kodi's IPTV capabilities come from whichever PVR client is installed, so
rows that depend on one say "Depends on the add-on" instead of claiming
something this page cannot verify.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
First comparison page that names other software. It answers the question
every "IPTV on a computer" guide raises — VLC opens the playlist, so why a
dedicated player — with three tables (what each can connect to, what a
playlist file cannot carry, and the practical differences) and eight FAQ
entries, then ends where the honest answer is: IPTVnator hands VLC the
stream, with the playlist's headers and the resume position, and reads the
position back.
Naming another project brings rules, now recorded in the registry doc
comment and a new README section: a dated ThirdPartyNote stating the other
project is independent and endorses nothing, only stable publicly documented
facts, no claim of a missing feature that was not checked, and no logos,
brand styling or links to the other project. The compare test enforces the
note and the date for every page in its NAMES_THIRD_PARTY_SOFTWARE set.
