v2.17.0

🐛 Bug Fixes

• HockeyTech no longer drops a whole game when its broadcasters list is empty (#752) — thanks @lpukatch (#753)
• Deleted consolidation exception keywords stay deleted across restarts; defaults are seeded once per install (#726) — thanks @lpukatch (#762)
• EPG matching no longer binds highlights or replay programmes to the live game: the broadcast-time gate now survives the reverse-alias retry, and replay/highlights words in a programme title skip it outright (#716)
• Sources list keeps its filters and sort when you edit a source and come back (#552)
• Name matching and EPG programme matching share one 30-day lookback; the retired event_match_days_back column is no longer read (#744)
• A config fix (alias, team cache, league) takes effect immediately even with negative match caching on (#757) — thanks @lpukatch (#758)

✨ New Features

• Scoped stream-priority rulesets — per-league or per-sport tabs on Stream Priority that inherit or override Global scoring and priority, most-specific wins — thanks @sethwv (#763)
• Generated pregame descriptions — opt-in {generated_preview} variable and has_generated_preview condition, composed from raw ESPN facts (records, form, series, starters, leaders, team stats); never on by default — thanks @ncsufan8628 (#613)
• Bulk edit covers almost everything — subscription (league) override, built-in filter skip, stream include/exclude regex and every custom regex; setting a pattern in bulk switches it on, clearing switches it off (#551)
• Order streams now — a button on Stream Priority that re-sorts every channel from fresh Stream Stats without a generation run (#576)
• PFL and LFA added; every ESPN MMA promotion is now a single league row, with the main event read from the card name rather than assumed last (#756) — thanks @lpukatch (#759)

⚡ Enhancements

• Startup cache refresh and media-server refresh run in the background with a progress toast; generation no longer waits on Jellyfin — thanks @sethwv (#765, #767)
• Negative match caching, flag-gated (TEAMARR_NEGATIVE_CACHE=1): streams that never match stop being re-scored every run — thanks @lpukatch (#754)

🔧 Under the Hood

• Template variables are now either raw provider values or the final generated preview; the registry stands at 266 (#613)
• Dependabot #36/#38 and brace-expansion resolved in the frontend lockfile (#751)
