4gray e55d55b47f feat(mock-data): add shared screenshot-safe poster catalog (#1271)
Moves the fictional movie catalog into `libs/shared/marketing-fixtures` so the
Xtream and Stalker mocks describe the same titles, and adds 20 rendered posters
plus the shared fixture types behind them.

Supporting changes made while getting it green:

- `shared-marketing-fixtures` is classified Tier B in the coverage policy. Not
  Tier A: it is fictional fixture data, so a statement percentage over it means
  nothing, and a Tier A entry would pull it into the merged coverage map and the
  ratchet. Tier B still runs its spec in CI. `stalker-mock-server` needs no entry
  of its own — it is already Tier C and the Tier B/C runner falls back to
  `pnpm nx test <project>`, so its new `marketing-poster-url.spec.ts` runs.
- Two release-capture defects the catalog reorder introduced, both fixed in
  `tools/release/capture-app-driver.ts`:
  - VOD stream ids are `MARKETING_VOD_STREAM_ID_BASE + index` and the generator
    now lists the showcase movies first, so 62000-62002 became Black Harbor, The
    Paper Astronaut and Summer Static while the dashboard seeding still mapped
    those ids to the previous titles' backdrops.
  - the raw `tsx` spawn of the Xtream mock lacked `--tsconfig
    tsconfig.base.json`, so the mock could not resolve
    `@iptvnator/shared/marketing-fixtures` and the capture never started. Both
    mock projects' own serve targets already passed the flag.

# Xtream Codes Mock Server
A lightweight Express server that simulates the Xtream Codes API for local
development and end-to-end testing. Uses `@faker-js/faker` with deterministic
seeding so every credential pair always produces the same data.
---
## Quick Start
```bash
# Start on port 3211
pnpm nx run xtream-mock-server:serve
# Start with file-watch (auto-restart on code changes)
pnpm nx run xtream-mock-server:serve-with-watch
# Start the mock server plus the Electron app
pnpm run serve:marketing-demo
# Start the mock server plus the browser web app
pnpm run serve:marketing-demo:web
```

## Available Scenarios (credential pairs)
| Username | Password | Scenario | Live cats | VOD cats | Series cats | Items/cat | Status |
| ----------- | ----------- | ---------------------- | --------- | -------- | ----------- | --------- | -------- |
| `user1` | `pass1` | default | 8 | 8 | 8 | 40 | active |
| `large` | `large` | large catalog | 20 | 20 | 20 | 200 | active |
| `stress` | `stress` | stress catalog | 16 | 16 | 16 | 120 | active |
| `series` | `series` | series-heavy | 3 | 4 | 15 | 30 | active |
| `minimal` | `minimal` | minimal (edge cases) | 2 | 2 | 2 | 5 | active |
| `epg` | `epg` | EPG fixture | 2 | 1 | 1 | 3 | active |
| `emptyvod` | `emptyvod` | empty VOD metadata | 2 | 2 | 2 | 5 | active |
| `marketing` | `marketing` | fictional release demo | 4 | 4 | 4 | curated | active |
| `expired` | `expired` | expired account | 4 | 4 | 4 | 10 | Expired |
| `inactive` | `inactive` | disabled account | 4 | 4 | 4 | 10 | Disabled |
Any other credential pair is auto-generated using a hash of `username:password` as the faker seed (6 categories, 30 items each, active account).

## API Endpoints
### Direct Xtream Protocol
`GET /player_api.php?action=<action>&username=<u>&password=<p>[&...]`
| Action | Description |
| ---------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------- |
| (none) / `get_account_info` | User info + server info |
| `get_live_categories` | Live TV categories |
| `get_vod_categories` | VOD (movie) categories |
| `get_series_categories` | Series categories |
| `get_live_streams` | Live streams (optionally filtered by `category_id`) |
| `get_vod_streams` | VOD streams (optionally filtered by `category_id`) |
| `get_series` | Series list (optionally filtered by `category_id`) |
| `get_vod_info?vod_id=<id>` | Full movie details |
| `get_series_info?series_id=<id>` | Full series info (seasons + episodes) |
| `get_short_epg?stream_id=<id>[&limit=N]` | EPG listings for a live channel |
| `get_simple_data_table?stream_id=<id>` | Full per-channel EPG schedule |
| `get_simple_date_table?stream_id=<id>` | Legacy typo alias for full per-channel EPG schedule |
### PWA CORS Proxy Endpoint
IPTVnator's PWA routes Xtream calls through a backend proxy:
```
GET /xtream?url=<serverUrl>&action=<action>&username=<u>&password=<p>
```
Response: `{ payload: <data>, action: <action> }`
### Stream URLs (stub redirects)
```
GET /live/<username>/<password>/<streamId>.m3u8 → HLS test stream
GET /movie/<username>/<password>/<streamId>.<ext> → HLS test stream
GET /series/<username>/<password>/<streamId>.<ext> → HLS test stream
```
### Utility Endpoints
```
GET /health → { status: "ok", server: "xtream-mock-server", port: 3211 }
POST /reset → clears all in-memory caches; data regenerates on next request
```

## Playwright Integration
The mock server starts automatically with `nx e2e web-e2e`. Run only Xtream
tests using the `@xtream` tag:
```bash
nx e2e web-e2e --grep "@xtream"
```
Test files: `apps/web-e2e/src/xtream.e2e.ts`
Electron Xtream EPG coverage lives in
`apps/electron-backend-e2e/src/xtream-epg.e2e.ts`.
The Playwright tests use `page.route()` to redirect the app's backend proxy
calls (`localhost:3000/xtream**`) to the mock server without modifying any
application code.

## Data Characteristics
- **Deterministic**: Same credentials → same data every time (seeded faker)
- **Cached per session**: Data generated once on first request, reused until `/reset`
- **EPG**: Titles and descriptions are base64-encoded (matches real Xtream API)
- **Dedicated EPG fixture**: `epg:epg` returns stable live channels plus deterministic `get_short_epg` and `get_simple_data_table` payloads for timezone-focused tests
- **Release screenshot fixture**: `marketing:marketing` returns fictional live, VOD, and series data with local generated artwork under `apps/xtream-mock-server/public/marketing`
- **Timestamp precedence coverage**: The `epg:epg` scenario intentionally shifts raw `start` / `end` strings away from `start_timestamp` / `stop_timestamp` so UI tests can prove timestamps drive rendering
- **Stream IDs**: Live 10,000+, VOD 20,000+, Series 30,000+
- **Category IDs**: Live 101+, VOD 201+, Series 301+

## Release Demo Artwork
The `marketing:marketing` fixture uses 65 original fictional titles for release
screenshots. Its core 30-title artwork pack includes matched posters and
backdrops; 35 additional movie-poster showcase titles use approved local poster
PNGs and the deterministic SVG fallback for missing backdrops. The newest 20
showcase movies are ordered first so they appear immediately in screenshot
catalog grids. Assets are served from:
```text
apps/xtream-mock-server/public/marketing/{poster,backdrop}/
```
Generate or validate those assets with:
```bash
pnpm release:artwork:dry-run
pnpm release:artwork:generate
pnpm release:artwork:validate
```
`release:artwork:generate` uses `gpt-image-2` through the OpenAI Image API and
requires `OPENAI_API_KEY`. The screenshot capture workflow only reads committed
local assets; it does not call OpenAI. If a local PNG is missing, the mock
server falls back to its deterministic SVG renderer for development continuity.
The prompt manifest deliberately varies genres and visual media across titles
so the catalog does not collapse into one superhero/poster style.
