ScreenTinker e2ff8f47b7 Tizen player: real Samsung B2B fleet control (#125), folding in #126
#123 already shipped a placeholder device:command handler (#121/#122): screen_off
was a black overlay, reboot/shutdown a toast, update a "re-install" toast. This
replaces that with the real control surface from #125, reconciled into the single
handler #123 introduced (rather than landing a second, competing handler).

- NEW tizen/js/device-control.js: window.STDeviceControl = { run, capabilities,
  backend }. Feature-detects webapis.systemcontrol.* (Tizen 6.5/7, sync/throws) then
  b2bapis.b2bcontrol.* (SSSP/Tizen 4, async), normalises both to Promises, re-probes
  each call. run() never rejects; resolves { ok, supported, action, note, reload }.
  Panel power: setPanelMute (mute ON = backlight OFF) -> setDisplayPanel/setPanelStatus
  fallback. reboot -> rebootDevice(); shutdown mutes the panel and notes SSSP has no
  true power-off; update/reload -> reload:true.
- tizen/js/app.js: device:command now calls STDeviceControl.run and reports the
  outcome via reportCmd (device:log tag=command -> dashboard:device-log, plus a
  structured device:command-result), reloading ~1.2s later on result.reload. screen_off
  falls back to the existing black overlay (showScreenOff) when no B2B surface exists;
  screen_on/launch still clear the overlay + keepAwake. Dropped the now-dead
  tryPowerControl. reportCapabilities() runs on device:registered so the dashboard sees
  the backend ("none" on web/URL-Launcher/consumer TV).
- tizen/config.xml: partner-level b2bcontrol + systemcontrol privileges (ignored, not
  fatal, on unsigned/URL-Launcher/web/consumer builds).
- tizen/index.html: load $WEBAPIS/webapis.js + $B2BAPIS/b2bapis.js before the app
  scripts (404 harmlessly off-hardware) and device-control.js before app.js.
- tizen/README.md: rewrote the remote-control table for real B2B control + a
  partner-signing caveat; added device-control.js to the file list.

Supersedes PR #126 (feat/tizen-device-command-125), which targeted main unaware that
this branch already had a device:command handler.

Verified: node --check on both JS files; config.xml well-formed (xmllint). Not yet
validated on a real SSSP panel — the control surface only takes effect on a
partner-signed .wgt (backend reports "none" on the dev/URL-Launcher build).

# ScreenTinker — Tizen TV Player (`.wgt`)
A Samsung **Tizen TV / signage** web port of the ScreenTinker player. It speaks the
**exact same `/device` socket.io protocol** as the Android player, so a Tizen
display pairs and plays from the same dashboard with no server changes.
## What it does
- Enter a server URL → connects to `{server}/device` (socket.io v4).
- Registers, shows a **6-digit pairing code**; you claim it in the dashboard
(Devices → Pair a display). On `device:paired` it switches to playback.
- Reconnects automatically with a stored `device_id` + `device_token`.
- Renders **multi-zone layouts** (matching the Android player) when a layout is assigned —
each zone has its own percent geometry, `z_index`, `fit_mode`, background, and rotates its
own assignments independently — and falls back to **fullscreen single-zone** when no
layout is set, looping:
- **image** → shown for `duration_sec` (min 3s)
- **video** (`/api/content/{id}/file` or `remote_url`) → plays to end, then next; single item loops
- **YouTube** (`mime video/youtube`) → muted autoplay `<iframe>` embed
- **widget** → `<iframe>` of `{server}/api/widgets/{id}/render`
- Sends `device:heartbeat` every 15s (with best-effort Tizen telemetry).
- Keeps the screen awake (`tizen.power` / Samsung `appcommon` screensaver-off).
- **Video walls** (mirrors the web player): when the device is a wall member the payload
carries `wall_config`; the stage is positioned (in vw/vh) as this screen's slice of the
wall, the leader broadcasts `wall:sync` and followers align index + drift-correct their
video to the leader's clock. Per-tile `rotation` is not applied yet (matches the web
player); video walls have no Android equivalent.

## Build
```bash
./build-wgt.sh # -> ScreenTinker.wgt
```
Without the Tizen CLI this is an **unsigned** `.wgt`.
> **Why the released `.wgt` is unsigned:** Samsung **distributor** certificates
> are locked to the **DUID** of the signer's own TVs, so a `.wgt` we signed would
> not install on your TV anyway. Releases therefore ship it unsigned (for
> inspection only). To actually run it, use **path A** (no signing) or sign it
> yourself with your own certificate (**path B**).
## Deploy — two paths
### A) URL Launcher / TV browser (easiest, no signing)
No package, no Tizen Studio. Point the TV's **URL Launcher** (or just its web
browser) at your server's built-in web player: `https://<your-instance>/player`.
The TV runs it as a web app on boot, pairs with a 6-digit code, and plays - best
for Samsung B2B signage (SSSP). (You can instead self-host this `tizen/` folder
and point the URL Launcher at `…/index.html` for the Tizen-specific build.)
### B) Signed `.wgt` (installed app)
A signing profile is already set up on the build box (Tizen Studio CLI 6.1):
- **Profile `ScreenTinker`** = a self-signed **author** cert
(`~/tizen-studio-data/keystore/author/st_author.p12`) + the default Tizen
**distributor** cert. `./build-wgt.sh` auto-detects the CLI and signs with it,
producing a `.wgt` with `author-signature.xml` + `signature1.xml`.
- This installs on **developer-mode** Samsung TVs and the **Tizen emulator**
the right path for a **self-hosted fleet you control** (enable Developer Mode
on each TV once: Apps → enter `12345` → set the host IP).
Install onto a dev-mode TV:
```bash
sdb connect <tv-ip>
tizen install -n ScreenTinker.wgt -t <tv-device>
```
**Production / retail (no developer mode):** re-sign with a Samsung **Partner**
or **Public** distributor certificate from the Tizen **Certificate Manager**
(free Samsung account; distributor cert tied to each TV's **DUID**), then
`./build-wgt.sh <thatProfile>`. The self-signed author cert is not committed (it
lives in `~/tizen-studio-data`, password `screentinker`).
## Validated (2026-06-09)
- **Protocol**: headless test against the live server passed end-to-end —
`register(pairing_code) → device:registered → pair → reconnect(device_id+token)
→ device:playlist-update(2 items) → GET /api/content/{id}/file = 200`.
- **Runtime**: loads + renders in Chromium with no JS errors (setup screen verified).
- Not yet on real Tizen hardware — needs signing + a TV (or URL Launcher).
## Remote control & preview (#120 / #121 / #125)
The Tizen player listens for the same dashboard events as the web/Android player.
`device:command` is handled by `js/device-control.js`, which drives the real Samsung
fleet-control surface (`webapis.systemcontrol` on Tizen 6.5/7, else `b2bapis.b2bcontrol`
on SSSP/Tizen 4) and reports each outcome back via `device:log` (tag `command`, shown
live on the device-detail screen) plus a structured `device:command-result`:
| Command (`device:command` type) | Tizen behaviour |
|-----------------------------------|------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| `refresh` / `reload` | `location.reload()` |
| `launch` / `screen_on` | clears the screen-off overlay + re-asserts wake; `setPanelMute("OFF")` when the B2B surface is present |
| `screen_off` | `setPanelMute("ON")` (backlight off) on a B2B panel; **black overlay fallback** otherwise |
| `update` | reload to re-pull URL-Launcher content (no in-app OTA — see **Updates**) |
| `reboot` | `rebootDevice()` on a B2B panel; `unsupported` otherwise |
| `shutdown` | `setPanelMute("ON")` + note (SSSP web API has no true power-off) |
| _unknown_ | reported as `unsupported` |
| `device:screenshot-request` | best-effort capture (see note) |
| `device:remote-start` / `-stop` | start/stop ~1 fps preview streaming |
> **Partner-signing caveat (#125):** the `b2bcontrol` / `systemcontrol` privileges in
> `config.xml` only take effect on a **partner-signed `.wgt` on a real SSSP panel**. On
> the dev/URL-Launcher/web build (or a consumer TV) those surfaces are absent, so reboot
> returns `unsupported`, `screen_off` uses the black overlay, and the startup capability
> log reports `backend=none`. Only a partner-signed build on real hardware fully
> validates reboot / panel power.
> **Screenshot/preview note:** the TV decodes `<video>` onto a hardware overlay plane
> and plays YouTube in a cross-origin `<iframe>`, neither of which can be read back into
> a `<canvas>`. So **images capture for real; video/YouTube fall back to a status card**
> (device + timestamp). The dashboard preview shows a truthful frame rather than a dead
> button. Full-fidelity video preview isn't feasible on the sideloaded Tizen runtime.
## Updates (#122)
There is **no in-app OTA** for a sideloaded, signed `.wgt`. Updating a screen means
**re-building and re-sideloading** the `.wgt` (path B above), or — on Samsung B2B
signage — pushing it through the **URL Launcher refresh / MDM (MagicINFO / SSSP)**
channel. The dashboard `update` command therefore just tells the screen an update is
pending; it cannot self-apply. If you run the **URL Launcher path (A)**, a plain
TV reboot re-fetches `…/player` and you're current with the server with no `.wgt` step.
## Auto-launch on boot (#122)
Boot auto-start for a **sideloaded** consumer TV web app is a **display setting, not an
app setting** — there's no `config.xml` autostart for the TV profile. Configure it on
the panel:
- **URL Launcher path (A):** set the URL Launcher as the boot app (it relaunches on
power-up automatically) — the recommended signage setup.
- **Signed-app path (B):** use the TV's **kiosk / auto-start app** setting (B2B/SSSP
firmware) to launch ScreenTinker on boot; on dev-mode consumer TVs there's no
guaranteed boot-launch, so the URL Launcher path is preferred for unattended screens.
## Version reporting (#119)
`app_version` is sourced from `config.xml`'s `version=""` — read at runtime via the
Tizen application API, with a build-stamped constant fallback (`build-wgt.sh` stamps it
from `config.xml`). The dashboard always shows the version actually installed.
