* fix(ui): welcome screens and drop overlay follow the app theme The welcome dashboard, the empty Sources page and the playlist drop overlay switched on `prefers-color-scheme`, so with the app set to dark on a light OS (or light on a dark OS) they painted the other theme's colours. They now read `--app-*` tokens, which follow the `.dark-theme` class set from Settings, and the hard-coded blues are derived from the selection colour (a local "strong" accent mixed toward the heading ink keeps chips and filled labels at 4.5:1 in both themes). White rgba() fills that vanished in the light theme (season empty panel, catalog refinement chips and menu divider, Xtream archive banner and disabled paginator icons, shell download-activity track, search field) now use the widget surface, on-surface mixes or the search tokens. Reads of custom properties that nothing declares are fixed: the release notes error, the search-layout empty state and the collection reload dim now use declared tokens; unset hooks are replaced by their fallback value. New guard `pnpm run styles:theme-references:validate` (CI) rejects undeclared var() reads and prefers-color-scheme outside the settings resolver. Electron E2E os-color-scheme.e2e.ts flips the OS scheme under each explicit app theme and checks colours, contrast and screenshots. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * test(e2e): retry the rejected-drop comparison when the card dismisses mid-read The rejection hides itself after 1.8s, and the OS-scheme comparison reads the overlay twice with an emulateMedia call between. A slow runner could lose the card between the reads; the comparison now drops again until both reads see it. A colour that follows the OS still fails every attempt. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * test(e2e): measure welcome text contrast from rendered pixels The feature and source cards paint gradients, which a backgroundColor walk ignores, so card titles, descriptions and chips could pass while falling short on the actual card. Every text on the three surfaces is now measured against the pixels under it, as the filled button labels were. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(tools): scan only runtime sources in the theme-references guard The guard read every tracked file under apps/ and libs/ except specs, so an E2E, mock-server or test-helper declaration could satisfy a runtime var() read that nothing in the app declares (dashboard-rail-focus.e2e.ts sets --cover-rail-width), and a test-only read could fail the check. It now skips spec/test/e2e files, test helpers and stubs, testing projects, the E2E and mock-server apps and the marketing website. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(xtream): set live paginator tokens through mat.paginator-overrides The live layout hand-declared --mat-paginator-* tokens, which the UI guidelines route through the overrides mixin so a mistyped name fails the build instead of silently doing nothing. Same values, same output. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(tools): skip every test-only naming convention in the theme guard The runtime scan still read .stub, .harness, .fixtures, .spec-stubs, .spec-helpers, .spec-fixtures, test-setup and test-double sources, and test-stubs/ or *fixtures/ directories, so a declaration in one could mask an undeclared runtime read. A file is now test-only when a dot segment after its name marks it (spec, stub, fixture, harness, mock, spec-*, test-*, *-fixtures), its stem is a test bootstrap, or it sits in a test directory. Runtime names such as xtream-connection-test.service.ts stay in the scan; no runtime source imports an excluded file. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(ui): keep welcome card text legible while hovered At the 16%/10% hover tint the dark theme's body text on a feature card measured 4.45:1. The hover fill steps up to 10%/6% instead (4.78:1 in dark, 6.6:1 in light); lift, border and shadow carry the rest. The E2E now measures feature and source card text while hovered, in both themes; with the old tint it fails at 4.45.

Workspace Dashboard Feature
This library owns the workspace dashboard rails UI. The dashboard is a read-only surface over existing playlist, recent, favorites, EPG, and Xtream catalog data; it should not introduce Electron IPC, SQLite schema, or route contracts on its own.
Dashboard Surfaces
The dashboard renders a surface only when the matching setting is enabled. Data rails also require the underlying data slice to have at least one item.
heroshows the full-width cinematic banner that rotates between the newest unfinished title, a favourite (or recent) channel with a programme on air, and favourite / recently added titles. Contract:docs/architecture/workspace-dashboard.md#cinematic-hero.continueWatchingshows recent movies and series the user has not finished, fromDashboardDataService.continueWatchingItems(), using cover cards with playback progress when a saved resume position is available. A movie leaves the rail once its position reachesPORTAL_WATCHED_PROGRESS_PERCENT(90%, so the end credits count as watched). A series whose newest episode is watched stays with the episode it continues with (the first one not watched after the one watched last, from the portal's episode list) and leaves once none follows it. Extras (season 0) never change that. Finished titles stay in Global Recent. Contract:docs/architecture/workspace-dashboard.md#data-flow.liveFavoritesshows favorited live TV channels fromDashboardDataService.globalFavoriteLiveItems()using the channel layout with EPG title, time range, and progress when XMLTV data is available.recentlyWatchedLiveshows recently watched live TV channels fromDashboardDataService.globalRecentLiveItems()using the same channel layout.favoriteMoviesAndSeriesshows favorited movies and series fromDashboardDataService.globalFavoriteItems(), excluding live favorites, using cover cards.recentSourcesshows recently used playlist/source entries.xtreamRecentlyAddedshows recently added Xtream catalog items.tmdbRecommendationsshows "Because you watched X" — TMDB recommendations seeded from recently watched movies/series, kept to titles that exist in an imported Xtream library. Needs the TMDB opt-in and the Electron DB worker (hidden in the PWA), and hides itself below five matched cards. Data:DashboardRecommendationsServiceinworkspace/dashboard/data-access.tmdbTrendingshows TMDB's weekly trending titles, matched against the imported Xtream libraries. Same TMDB/Electron gating; unmatched cards open the global search prefilled. Data:DashboardTrendingService.
Settings
Per-surface visibility lives on Settings.dashboardRails as a
DashboardRailsSettings object. Every surface defaults to enabled. Stored
settings are deep-merged with DEFAULT_DASHBOARD_RAILS_SETTINGS by
SettingsStore, so existing users and older partial settings keep newly added
surfaces visible unless they explicitly turn them off.
The global showDashboard flag remains a top-level Settings property because
workspace startup and route guards already depend on that contract. The Settings
UI groups showDashboard and the per-surface checkboxes in the Dashboard
section. When showDashboard is off, the per-surface checkboxes are disabled
because the dashboard route itself is hidden.
Navigation
Rail cards use the navigation state provided by DashboardDataService for the
underlying item. Rail "See all" links may also pass router state:
- live rails open the relevant collection on Live TV.
- cover rails for movies/series open Global Recent or Global Favorites on Movies when movie items are present, otherwise on Series.
This keeps the global collection pages from defaulting to Live TV when a dashboard rail is clearly about movies or series.
