v0.5.1 — Native yellow-button shortcut to FCC-Extender

Polish release on top of v0.5.0. The companion-plugin integration is now bidirectional and natively owned on each side.

Added

  • Yellow-button shortcut from the Settings screen straight into the FCC-Extender's own settings screen. The button appears only when the companion plugin is detected (same opkg-status check that powers the existing "FCC-Extender: installed (v...)" presence indicator); on every other box it stays out of the action map entirely so any host-skin yellow binding is untouched.
  • This is the native replacement for the runtime monkey-patch that the FCC-Extender plugin used to inject into FBCChannelSpeedChangeSetup.__init__ in earlier releases. Each plugin now owns its own settings surface; the FCC-Extender's matching v0.2 release drops its monkey-patch in the same cycle.

Changed

  • _classify_fccextender_content is now a thin wrapper around a new low-level _parse_fccextender_status helper that returns a (state, version) tuple. The boolean detector used by the new button gate and the existing label formatter share one parser. No behaviour change to the presence-indicator label.

Tests

  • 6 new cases pin the parser and the boolean detector contracts (FccExtenderParserTests + FccExtenderInstalledDetectorTests). All existing label tests stay green. 130 / 130 total.

Notes

  • No new C-binding surface, no new recordService or prepare() call shapes. Pure UI / presence-detection work.
  • Field-verified 2026-06-22 against the FCC-Extender rc2 (v0.2) on the GigaBlue UHD Quad 4K Pro: yellow button appears, opens the FCC-Extender settings, both plugins coexist without crashes.
  • On boxes without the FCC-Extender installed the new code path is dormant - no UI change, no startup cost.
