📄 Description

Summary

  • Add leanback manifest declarations so the app appears in the Android TV launcher
  • Guard CastOptionsProvider against missing Google Play Services to prevent crash on launch
  • Add runtime TV device detection (UiModeManager) exposed to the WebView layer
  • Include TV launcher banner (320x180)

All changes are conditional — zero impact on the existing mobile experience. TV-specific code paths only execute when UiModeManager.currentModeType == UI_MODE_TYPE_TELEVISION.

Contributes to #606

Test plan

  • Sideloaded debug APK on Android TV — app launches without crashing
  • Browsed library content with remote — functional but not yet optimized for D-pad
  • Verified mobile build compiles with no new warnings
  • Test on additional Android TV devices (Shield, Fire TV, Chromecast w/ Google TV)
