* 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.

* 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.

Release notes (.changes/)
Every PR with a user-visible change drops one file here describing that change
in plain language. At release time
tools/release/build-release-notes.mjs turns the accumulated files into the
GitHub release body, the CHANGELOG.md section, and a blog-post scaffold for
the website — then deletes them.
The point is to write the note while the context is still fresh, instead of reconstructing three months of work from commit titles at release time.
File
Name it <area>-<short-slug>.md, e.g. .changes/playback-up-next-rail.md.
---
type: feature
area: playback
issues: [1187]
screenshot: up-next-rail
---
Series now show an "Up Next" rail beside the player on wide windows: the rest
of the current season, watch progress, and click-to-play inline.
| Field | Required | Value |
|---|---|---|
type |
yes | breaking, feature, fix, perf, or internal |
area |
yes | lowercase slug, same as the conventional-commit scope |
issues |
no | issue numbers this closes — [1187] or 1187 |
screenshot |
no | slug from tools/release/screenshots.manifest.json |
There is no version field. The release version is chosen deliberately at release time, not derived from these files.
You never write a PR number: the generator resolves it from the commit that added the file.
Writing the body
One to three sentences, present tense, written for a user, not a reviewer. The body is capped at 400 characters — depth belongs in the blog post.
-
❌ "Refactor
WebVideoControlsAdapterto hoist volume state into the session" -
✅ "The player now remembers volume between episodes"
-
❌ "Fix off-by-one in
resolveEnrichmentSeasonNumber" -
✅ "Series whose title carries a season marker no longer show the wrong season"
type: internal records invisible maintenance. Internal notes stay collapsed in
CHANGELOG.md, are omitted from the blog scaffold, and are removed from the
authored public GitHub body by
extract-changelog-section.mjs --public. GitHub's generated commit list remains
separate. An internal-only release can therefore have an empty authored body.
When a note is not needed
The gate auto-exempts website, E2E and mock-server apps, *.spec.{js,ts},
*.e2e.{js,ts}, snapshots, any /testing/ path, and Markdown. For other
test-only, documentation, CI/workflow, or pure-refactor changes under
apps//libs/, apply no-release-note when no user-visible note is warranted.
Commands
pnpm run release:notes:validate
pnpm run release:notes:github
pnpm run release:notes:changelog
pnpm run release:notes:blog
node tools/release/build-release-notes.mjs --consume
The release version comes from the root package.json — bump it first, then
generate. --version 0.24.0 overrides it to preview a release before the bump:
pnpm run release:notes:github --version 0.24.0
A bare -- separator is accepted and ignored, so the npm habit of
pnpm run release:notes:github -- --version 0.24.0 works too: pnpm forwards
that separator to the script rather than consuming it the way npm does.
--validate and --format github only read and print. --format changelog
and --format blog write their target file (rerunning changelog for the same
version replaces that section rather than duplicating it). Only --consume
deletes anything.
The release sequence is: bump the version → release:notes:changelog →
release:notes:blog → --consume → commit → tag → push. The tag build then
extracts the new CHANGELOG.md section into the GitHub release body
(tools/release/extract-changelog-section.mjs) and fails the release if
the section is missing — a tag cut without the changelog step cannot silently
ship PR-title-only notes.
The website publishes one post per minor version (v0-18 … v0-22), and
release screenshots live under the matching blog/v0-24/ directory. A patch
release therefore edits the existing post rather than generating a new one, so
--format blog refuses to overwrite unless you pass --force.
Screenshots
pnpm run release:screenshots captures every manifest shot in dark and light
against the built app plus the Xtream mock server — never a real account.
The run is fail-closed: it proves the real ~/.iptvnator/databases directory
(including the SQLite WAL sidecars, checked after Electron exits) was not
touched, launches the app with an allowlisted environment, records and blocks
all non-localhost traffic, scans every frame for external resources and
credential-shaped text, and asserts TMDB enrichment stays disabled. Frames are
staged outside the repository and published only once every shot and every
guard has passed.
Adding a shot for a new feature = one entry in
tools/release/screenshots.manifest.json (plus, if navigation is new, one
named action in tools/release/capture-navigation.ts).
pnpm nx run electron-backend:build-e2e # once, before capturing
pnpm run release:screenshots # all shots, both themes
pnpm run release:screenshots -- --only dashboard --theme dark
pnpm run release:screenshots -- --release v0-24
