* fix(workspace): report a local phase while reading the cached Xtream catalog Since #1311 the sync overlay is shown for the whole import session, but the DB-first read path never emitted an import phase, so switching to an already-imported Xtream playlist showed a bare "Syncing playlist" card with no badge or description. The Electron data source now reports a 'loading-cached' phase (local-library badge, its own label and detail text) before reading categories/content from SQLite, and the PWA data source reports the remote loading phases on API fetches it previously swallowed. Adds the two new i18n keys to en.json and all 18 locales. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(portals): keep the loading-cached phase from marking a real import The store's onPhaseChange callbacks set isImporting unconditionally, and the initialization error path gates import-cache cleanup on that flag — so a cancelled or failed warm SQLite read would have wiped the healthy cached catalog and forced a full provider redownload. The shared publishImportPhase helper now publishes 'loading-cached' as a presentation-only phase; any remote/save phase still marks the import as running. Adds regression specs (verified to fail against the previous behavior) in a dedicated spec file to stay under the test max-lines limit. Addresses Codex P1 review feedback on #1345. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(portals): scope cancelled-import cleanup to types with remote work A session-wide isImporting flag meant that once any content type contacted the provider, cancelling during a later cache-only read cleared the healthy cached catalogs of every not-yet-completed type. Cleanup now consults a per-session set of types that actually performed remote or save work (populated from typed phase callbacks and save-content events), so cache-only types keep their catalogs on cancellation while genuinely partial types are still cleared. Mixed-scenario regression spec added (mutation-verified against the unguarded behavior). Addresses the second Codex P1 on #1345.

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
WebVideoControlsAdapterto 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
