4grayandClaude Fable 5.1 0a2f6121f8 fix(playback): keep fullscreen across episode, channel and source switches (#1509)
WebPlayerViewComponent remounts the engine component for every playback
application, and the DOM Fullscreen API exits the moment its element leaves
the document. The fullscreen element was the engine shell, so every next-
episode click, autoplay hand-off, channel zap and alternative-source switch
dropped the viewer back to the page.

app-player-controls gains a `fullscreenTarget` input; HTML5, Video.js,
ArtPlayer and Embedded MPV forward it, and WebPlayerViewComponent passes its
own host element, which spans all applications of one mount. Keeping
fullscreen exposed a latent bug: the Electron header handoff set plain
fields under OnPush hosts and was only rendered thanks to the fullscreen
exit's stage resize; `channel`/`vjsOptions` are signals now.

Covered by unit regressions (fullscreen target, WebPlayerView remount, OnPush
handoff), a web-e2e run through a manual and an automatic episode switch, and
a manual Electron check. Docs and release note updated.

Closes #1498

With the default shared player controls, the built-in player now stays in fullscreen when you switch to another episode, when the next episode starts automatically, and when a live channel or an alternative movie source is switched — previously every switch dropped back to the page. The legacy vendor-controls opt-out keeps its previous behavior.
