`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.
