With "Default to Favorite Channels" enabled and no favorites stored —
or only favorites left over from a since-rebuilt lineup — the favorites
filter reduced the guide to zero channels and GuideTab rendered just
the timeline bar: no rows, no message, no sign a filter was active.
Users read it as Live TV being broken; the Aug 8 report in #887 shows
44 channels and 447 grid programs loading in the log while the
screenshot shows a blank guide and 0 favorite channels.
When the filter removes every loaded channel, the guide tab now shows
an empty state naming the cause with a "Show All Channels" action that
clears the filter. The action stays D-pad reachable: the tab-bar focus
handoff falls through to the action's focus node while the empty state
replaces GuideTab, and activating it hands focus back to the restored
guide content. Favorites that match no loaded channel get the same
treatment as an empty favorites list.
Verified: flutter test test/screens/livetv/, analyzer parity,
clean_translations --check --strict, and slang codegen freshness.
Refs #887.
Only the load that commits a favorites set writes the loaded flag, so a
refresh keeps the previous set authoritative. Clearing it up front widened
the guide to the full lineup for the whole round-trip and moved the D-pad
cursor when it collapsed back.
- PaginatedCardGridTabState: the collections and playlists tabs were 95%
identical; they now supply only pageSize/fetchPage/idOf instead of each
duplicating the grid, memo, inflation budget and focus wiring.
- EtagCachedRemoteStore: the anime-lists and fribb mapping stores now share
one download/cache/isolate-parse/conditional-GET lifecycle.
- FocusableTileStateMixin manages its own initState/didUpdateWidget/dispose
instead of requiring every caller to forward three lifecycle hooks.
Also drops unused ServerCapabilities entries and dead code in
focusable_list_tile and music/track_row.
