50871e581f feat(playback): add quality selection to shared player controls (#1470)
* feat(playback): add quality selection to shared player controls

Adds a per-session video quality menu (Auto + "1080p"-style levels) to the
shared player-controls layer, mirroring the audio-track pattern:

- Contract: qualityLevels capability, qualityLevels/qualityAutoEnabled state,
  setQualityLevel command with AUTO_QUALITY_LEVEL_ID (-1) restoring ABR.
- hls.js (HTML5/ArtPlayer via the neutral source bridge): levels with
  list-index ids, smooth switching through nextLevel, selection read from
  manualLevel; refresh events extended with MANIFEST_PARSED, LEVELS_UPDATED,
  LEVEL_SWITCHED.
- Shaka (DASH): variant tracks filtered to the active audio language, ABR
  disabled before selectVariantTrack; manual state keyed to the exact player
  instance so a session restart never shows a stale selection.
- Video.js: new VjsQualityLevels over videojs-contrib-quality-levels (manual =
  exactly one enabled level, auto = all enabled, derived statelessly).
- Embedded MPV and external players report the capability false.

The capability derives from the manifest (advertised only for >1 video
rendition), nothing persists to Settings, and the menu rides the default-off
webPlayerSharedControls rollout gate. Labels come from one shared helper so
all engines render the same vocabulary. QUALITY/QUALITY_AUTO keys added to
all 19 i18n files.

* fix(playback): pin DASH quality candidates to the active audio stream

Review findings on #1470:

- Shaka quality candidates now match the active variant's exact audioId
  (language fallback only when Shaka reports none), so a DASH manifest with
  same-language audio tracks (main vs. commentary, stereo vs. 5.1) can no
  longer switch the audio track or show duplicate levels when a quality is
  picked. Regression test added.
- Mirror the quality-selection contract into AGENTS.md's Shared Player
  Controls section, which must stay in sync with CLAUDE.md.

* fix(playback): track Video.js manual quality intent explicitly

Codex re-review finding on #1470: VHS flips a rendition's `enabled` flag off
itself when it temporarily excludes failing renditions, so inferring the
manual/auto mode from the enabled count could report a manual selection the
user never made once exclusions leave a single survivor.

VjsQualityLevels now records the picked level object as explicit manual
intent: error exclusions read as auto, a picked level that leaves the list
reverts to auto, and the bridge resets the intent on every new source.
Regression tests added.

* fix(playback): re-enable surviving renditions when the picked level is removed

Codex follow-up on #1470: dropping manual intent when the picked
QualityLevel leaves the list reverted the UI to auto but left the surviving
renditions disabled by the earlier manual pick, pinning VHS with no
selectable rendition. Reverting to auto now re-enables every remaining
level, both on the removal event and lazily from the state read.
Regression tests added.

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 WebVideoControlsAdapter to 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
