4grayandClaude Opus 5 edc6952b58 fix(stalker): warm the session at the choke point; keep downloads authenticated
Two more Codex findings on #1364, and the first one shows my previous commit
message reasoned too broadly.

P1 — I claimed the portal routes are "structurally warm" because an item
cannot be selected before its catalog loads. That is true of the routed portal
views, but not of the global collection detail, which calls
`setCurrentPlaylist()` and `setSelectedItem()` straight from a persisted row
with no catalog load in between and then goes through the STORE playback path.
A VOD opened from Favorites on a cold start therefore still played a same-host
gated stream with no Bearer token.

Rather than extend the per-route argument, the warm-up moved to the one place
every static return passes through: `fetchStalkerPlaybackLink()` now calls the
session before short-circuiting, covering ITV, VOD, radio and downloads at
once. `StreamResolverService` keeps its own call — its static branch does not
go through that function — but both now share a single primitive,
`ensureStalkerSession()` in `stalker-request.utils.ts`, so the two routes
cannot drift on when a session is required. Still best-effort, still outside
`stalker-session.service.ts` (PR 6 territory).

P2 — downloads cannot use that escape hatch at all: the main-process stored
header allowlist is User-Agent/Origin/Referer only, no Cookie or
Authorization, so a static same-host URL 401s where a minted one worked.
`startStalkerVodDownload` now classifies the candidate with the shared
`isStalkerStreamCredentialSafe()` and withholds the row — forcing
`create_link` — for anything portal-owned. A CDN-hosted movie keeps the
permanent URL that survives retry; a portal-hosted one keeps the minted URL
that carries its own token.

Both fixes mutation-checked: each reverted change fails exactly one test.
Docs corrected, including the overreaching "structurally warm" claim.
