On mobile data the single default streaming quality either burns
through the user's data plan or permanently caps quality at home.
Playback start now applies a dedicated cellular default when the
device is on a cellular-only connection, read from the app's existing
single connectivity subscription. The new setting defaults to
following the general default, ships in Settings > Playback for
phones/tablets only, and explicit per-play quality picks still win.
'Metered connection' had been spelled out independently in the offline
provider, the download WiFi-only gate and the sync-rule cooldown.
Rather than add a fourth copy, all four now share
ConnectivityLinkType. Network *presence* is deliberately left alone:
its callers disagree on whether an empty snapshot counts as
connected, so folding that in would change behavior.
showSelectionDialog now returns the picked DialogOption instead of its
raw value so the tile's null-valued 'Same as Default Quality' option
stays distinguishable from dismissing the dialog.

hidden_libraries' constructor always seeds _initFuture, so ensureInitialized's ?? _initialize() fallback could never run (field now late final); _loadLibrariesInternal returned a bool no caller read; OfflineModeProvider.refresh() had zero call sites; ExploreScreen's Refreshable application was dispatched by nobody (only the discover tab and library tabs are dispatched); the discover null-serverId branch stays — the TV spotlight resolver passes null items during initial load.
CompanionRemoteProvider memoized peer disposals in an Expando even though CompanionRemotePeerService.dispose() already dedups concurrent and repeat calls — the wrapper now only keeps cleanup failures from escaping teardown, and the test fake mirrors the service's idempotent-dispose contract. DiscoverProvider._loadOnce carried the same outcome/generation/boundary tail copy-pasted in three branches, now one local settlePassOutcome. OfflineModeProvider cached _hasServerConnection in five write sites when it always equalled a two-term expression — now a live getter.
Trakt was the one service outside the tracker abstraction. TraktScrobbleService
re-implemented the whole playback lifecycle beside TrackerCoordinator, and
TraktSyncService pushed watched state from its own WatchStateNotifier
subscription, so the player called two objects at every lifecycle point and one
watch could be written twice. TraktTracker now implements RealtimeScrobbleTracker
like Simkl; the duplicated player call sites collapse to one each, and Trakt
shares the coordinator's ID resolver instead of re-fetching show ids every
episode.
Capabilities are split so a tracker declares what it is rather than being
special-cased: ScrobblePolicy carries each service's own resend/seek rules,
EpisodeHistoryTracker names the remote row a per-item history write targets, and
SeriesProgressTracker covers one-counter-per-series services. Writes from all
four trackers go through a shared TrackerWriteQueue, generalised from the
Trakt-only queue, with the legacy Trakt payload migrated on load. Trakt becomes
the fourth TrackersProvider slot and TraktAccountProvider is deleted, so one
object owns the active session per profile.
Two failure paths found while consolidating are fixed here too.
The queue's retries only ran on profile bind, connect and app foreground, so a
network blip mid-session left queued watches waiting for the next foreground.
OfflineModeProvider now notifies on connectivity changes, not just offline-state
or WiFi-flag changes, and main.dart flushes the queue when the network returns.
The queue also counted every failure toward the five attempts that permanently
drop an item, so a rate limit or a service having a bad hour could discard a
pending watch - the loss the queue exists to prevent. Only an answer about the
write itself now spends an attempt: 4xx counts, while rate limits, 5xx,
recoverable token-refresh failures and requests that never arrived do not. A
back-off answer also defers that service for the rest of the flush, so a queue
holding many rows does not fire all of them at a service that just asked for
quiet.
Focus chrome was implemented twice, once in the focusable wrapper and once
in the focus builders; both now go through FocusChrome. TvColorPicker's
channel row was a copy of TvNumberSpinner and is now that widget in compact
density.
Also trims unused helpers and fields and simplifies the Jellyfin browse
paths.
