4grayandClaude Fable 5.1 2fc1bd5601 fix(stalker): keep live playback when switching the ITV/radio category (#1517)
Switching the Live TV or radio category in the shell context panel tore
down the Stalker player: `onStalkerCategoryClicked` cleared the selected
item for every section, and the live layout gates its player on
`selectedItem`. Xtream live (#936) and M3U groups already keep the channel
playing across a category/group switch.

- Context panel: return before `clearSelectedItem()` for `itv`/`radio`;
  VOD/series clicks still drop the open detail before navigating.
- Live layout: the category-change reset effect no longer wipes the
  playing channel's short-EPG fallback or cancels a fallback load in
  flight; only a section change (itv <-> radio) does that now.
- Regression coverage in the context panel spec, the live layout spec and
  a new web E2E scenario; docs and a `.changes/` note added.

In Stalker portals, switching the Live TV or radio category in the sidebar no longer stops the channel that is playing. The category only changes which channels are listed, matching how Xtream portals and M3U playlists already behave.
