feat: integrate local subscription feed - #99
Merged
Conversation
- preserve timestamp restoration across YouTube player replacement, media handoffs, and SPA navigation, with focused Chromium and Firefox diagnostics - persist canonical local follows from page controls and channel context menus, resolve handle-only identities, and expose visible per-playlist history controls - localize static and dynamic feed views in English, Bulgarian, German, Spanish, and French with shared plural, number, relative-time, and fallback helpers - remove unreferenced locale entries and validate merged catalogs, placeholders, runtime consumers, and UTF-8 translations - make Chrome and Firefox packaging include the complete feed runtime, recreate build trees and versioned archives, and keep Firefox locale paths store-compatible - expand unit, integration, Chromium, and Firefox coverage for feed startup, subscriptions, overlays, playlists, storage, and media-transition restores This is an integration checkpoint for the remaining pre-deployment work, not the final v5 release-candidate commit.
- update Babel core and source-map helpers beyond the reported arbitrary-file-read range - refresh web-ext, addons-linter, Firefox profile, runner, ZIP, YAML, URI, glob, and shell parsing dependencies to patched compatible releases - retain latest web-ext 10.6.0 and image-size 2.0.2; the remaining image parser denial-of-service advisories have no patched upstream release and affect development linting only - keep production dependencies audit-clean and preserve the current Firefox build and lint workflow
Remove the retired in-extension YouTube search and playlist hydration paths, preserve canonical subscriptions across backup and restore, and tighten packaged permissions and artifact cleanup.\n\nAdd matched Chrome and Firefox release/canary coverage and refresh the public documentation and roadmap for the stabilized V5 scope.
- preserve the existing documentation structure and navigation while adding screenshot-backed popup and feed guidance - generate deterministic fictional extension screenshots during every local and CI documentation build - run both destinations through one staged, strict, macros-enabled MkDocs builder - verify the complete site and all screenshot artifacts before the unchanged deployment handoff - reject machine-specific paths, private infrastructure details, and credential patterns from documentation sources
Defer saved-position restoration while YouTube is playing an ad, then resume through the existing media-transition path after the main video becomes available. Synchronize Chromium and Firefox playlist identity checks, remove fragile fresh-profile timing assumptions, and make Chromium consent handling detect, solve, and verify the YouTube consent surface. Add deterministic long-ad restore coverage and verify the complete Chromium and Firefox E2E suites.
Implement ignored-channel review, pagination, analytics, refresh scheduling, and backup improvements. Expand deterministic and live Chromium/Firefox coverage, including stable consent and Shorts SPA tracking.

Summary
This PR delivers the stable YT re:Watch v5 local-feed release. It expands the extension from a popup-centered history tracker into a complete local YouTube companion with explicit local subscriptions, public RSS-backed discovery, account-independent history and progress, channel management, analytics, backup/restore, and matched Chrome and Firefox coverage.
Supersedes #97 and is based on the original

@tannery495 — thank you for the original local-feed implementation. It provided the foundation for this integration and remains represented in the commit history. Review of the final subscription, feed, and channel behavior is welcome.
Recommended merge method: Create a merge commit so the original contributor commit and the integration history remain visible.
