Every package gets its category, based on its description and the upstream README. Forks and builds of the same app are folded: - Moonlight: OneLiberty, MrPhaze62 (No Gamemode), ToypoodleGaming and brightcraft (Tizen, Tizen ForceGM) share group "Moonlight" - Nuvio: the official web app and the native legacy builds per Tizen range - RÚV: the five VOD/kids/teens/education/radio apps plus RÚV Live - Kodi: the Chorus2 and TeX web-UI wrappers - Overscan, Sonance3, StreamVault and YouTube for Tizen fold by their assets README table re-rendered with the Category column.

## Why The app list has grown to 80 rows (7 providers, 72 community files, the custom-file row) in one alphabetical dropdown, and a good part of that is variants of the same app: five Moonlight builds, six Nuvio, five Overscan, six RÚV. This adds a category filter above the list and folds those variants into one entry with a variant picker, on both heads. The data comes from the community bundle itself: tizen-community-packages [#63](Apps2Samsung/tizen-community-packages#63) adds `category`, `group` and `variant` to every package and ships a `catalog.json` next to the `.wgt`/`.tpk` files in each release; [#64](Apps2Samsung/tizen-community-packages#64) fills them in. The fixed providers get their category from `third-party-apps.json` (follow-up PR against `main`). Without a catalog the list is exactly what it is today, so this can merge before either. ## What **Core** - `CommunityCatalog` model for the release's `catalog.json`; `AddLatestRelease` keeps that asset's URL before narrowing to installable files and downloads it on request. - `CommunityAppList.Expand` replaces the per-asset expansion both heads had inline. Files that share a group fold into one `GitHubRelease` (`HasVariants`) whose assets carry a `Variant` label; every entry gets a `Category`. - `AppCategories`: the seven ids (media, iptv, streaming, games, casting, tools, other), their en.json keys and English fallbacks. `ProviderEntry.Category` for the fixed providers; unknown or missing lands in Other. **Desktop** - New "Category" row above the app list: "All categories (57)" plus every category that has apps, with counts. The custom-file row is never filtered out; the selected app stays selected while its category is in view. - The second dropdown reads **Variant** for a folded community app (Moonlight: "OneLiberty · Chrome", "brightcraft · Tizen ForceGM", …) and **Version** otherwise, and shows the variant label in front of the file name. - First label reads "App" instead of "Release". **Android** - Same category picker. The variant picker lists variant labels only, one line each, since a `Picker` shows a single line; the file name is in the catalog view. - Labels moved above their picker so it gets the full card width. Next to the label the picker kept about 160 dp on a 360 dp phone once the round "?" and rescan buttons took theirs, and names like "Jellyfin - AVPlay - 10.10z SmartHub" were cut off. Those two buttons are now text actions on the label line: "App details" and "Rescan". Bundled manifests (desktop assets, mobile Raw) get a category per provider. New en.json keys: `lblVariant`, `lblCategory`, `lblAllCategories`, `lblAppDetails`, `lblRescan`, `category*`. ## Checked - Core + desktop build (Release), localization check passes. - `CommunityAppList.Expand` run against the catalog from #64 and the asset list of `community-651`: 72 files become 50 entries (8 groups: Kodi 2, Moonlight 5, Nuvio 6, Overscan 5, RÚV 6, Sonance3 2, StreamVault 2, YouTube 2), the IPTV filter yields 11, and without a catalog the same 72 files give the flat 72-row list with no variants. - The mobile head is not built locally (no maui-android workload here); the PR's Mobile (Android) job covers it. --------- Co-authored-by: Patrick Stel <patrick.stel@embracecloud.nl>

Stacked on #63 (base branch
