test(node): make the suite pass on Windows

2026-09-04T00:20:57Z

- `.read_text()` on source files now `encoding="utf-8"` — cp1252 chokes on the em dashes / box-drawing chars those files contain. - test node.toml templates embed paths via `Path.as_posix()`: a raw Windows path in a basic TOML string is a parse error (`\U`, `\a`, ... are escapes). - new `test_platform.py` covers `meshbay_node.platform` by mocking `sys.platform` / `os.environ` — runs on both OSes. - `skipif(sys.platform == "win32")`, in `conftest.needs_subprocess` and inline, for the documented gaps: ffmpeg/ffprobe via asyncio subprocess (the win32 selector loop, forced for aiortc, cannot spawn one), the systemd `reload`/`restart-daemon` delegation (Windows path is W3), the keystore `st_mode == 600` assertion (NTFS ignores mode bits), and the symlink-escape test (needs Developer Mode). Windows: 781 passed, 25 skipped. No change on Linux. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 5

fix(node,hub): HEVC transcode fallback, live-add progress, per-group TMDB toggle

2026-08-24T13:57:41Z

Three bugs found live testing the Videos app against a real HEVC/EAC3 show, plus a design change requested afterward: - Streaming always did "-c:v copy", which faithfully reports a source's real hev1 codec string but is unplayable in a browser with no HEVC decoder (most Chrome/Linux builds). The node now transcodes to H264 whenever the probed codec is browser-incompatible (media_probe.py's new BROWSER_INCOMPATIBLE_VIDEO_CODECS), with a `transcode_incompatible_video` node.toml opt-out for operators who know their viewers already decode it. - Dropping a whole season into an already-watched folder gave no scanning indicator and no progress bar: IndexProgress was only ever updated by the two bulk scan paths, never by the real-time per-file watchdog path (_schedule_update/_debounce/_update_entry). That path now accounts a "burst" the same way, without double-counting a file rewritten mid-debounce. - A stray literal "0" rendered in the video detail modal when there was no TMDB match (`meta.confidence` is 0, and `0 && x` renders "0" in JSX/htm, not nothing) — `confident` is now a real boolean. - Whether TMDB is used at all moves from a node-wide setting to per-group (OP_TMDB_ENABLED/tmdb_enabled/tmdb_enabled_ack, scoped like OP_VIDEO_ROOT): an operator running a real media-library group alongside test/demo groups on one node wants outbound TMDB traffic for the one that needs it, not all of them. The custom API token and query language stay node-wide, one shared credential/cache (tmdb_config/OP_TMDB_CONFIG, unchanged reasoning). MNP_VERSION 0.6 -> 0.7, additive.
