Fixes the split theater live-stream experience: a dedicated video info header, pinned native subscribe / like controls, and a neutral divider.

Fixes

Split theater live header (extension + standalone userscript)

  • New `ytkit-split-live-header` surface shows the live video title, channel, and date/info beside the chat instead of leaving them buried in the collapsed metadata panel.
  • `_pinSplitLiveHeaderActions()` visually pins the native subscribe/like controls with `position: fixed` so YouTube's own menus keep working instead of moving the DOM nodes.
  • Cleanup order is now deterministic: restore moved controls → restore pinned controls → remove the live header. Prevents ghost styles from sticking to native controls on theater exit.
  • `dataset.ytkitSplitLivePinned` tag lets teardown find every pinned control even if the page re-renders.

Video type detection (`VideoTypeDetector.refresh`)

  • DOM live signals (`.ytp-live-badge`, `ytd-watch-flexy[is-live]`) now override a stale `ytInitialPlayerResponse` that still reports VOD. Fixes split treating a just-started live stream as VOD.

Divider colors

  • Base bumped to `#0a0d13` (opaque) so the accent gradient no longer bleeds through into the layout behind it.
  • Hover now uses neutral gray `#111827` instead of the old blue-purple, and the grip uses a quieter `rgba(148,163,184,0.64)`.

Tests

  • 60 JS tests pass (1 new cross-surface regression in `tests/bugfix-validation.test.js` asserts both the extension and standalone userscript stay in lockstep)
  • 15 Python tests pass
  • Syntax check clean
