* fix(dashboard): keep the hero height stable across slides The hero laid out only the shown slide, so every automatic rotation between slides of different heights resized the banner and moved every rail below it by 7px, every 8 s on an idle dashboard (a layout-shift score of 0.005 per rotation cycle). Every slide's content now sits in the same grid cell at the bottom of the banner. The hero is therefore as tall as its tallest slide whichever one is shown, and it still grows for an unusually full slide. Inactive slides are inert and visibility: hidden, and carry no test hooks. Enter on the hero follows the shown slide's primary action. The rotation dots keep one fixed width. The active pill is the same 18px bar with its clip-path opened, so a slide change no longer moves the neighbouring dots or the pill itself. The legibility E2E now records which nodes shift. It allows under 0.001 in all, with nothing inside the hero moving. It measures 0 on this branch and fails on master (0.0054).

It now runs a second unattended rotation after the contrast pass, at the narrow width, where slides wrap the most and every slide carries a rating and a two-line overview. On master's hero that second rotation also fails, because its dots move. measureBackdropTextContrast clipped its screenshot to the range of the element's line boxes. A title cut by the 2-line clamp has line boxes below the visible box, so the probe measured the pill row there and scored about 1.0. The Xtream mock gives the recently-added slide a different title per run, so this failed whenever a long one came up. The clip is now the line boxes intersected with the element's own box.

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.

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.
