Adds a new toggleable feature that detects episode transitions via
mediaTitle mutation (loadeddata/MutationObserver), pauses the video,
and waits for all room peers to load the same episode before
executing a coordinated Force Sync play at 0:00.
Protocol:
- Add EPISODE_LOBBY and EPISODE_READY events to shared/constants.js
- Add EPISODE_LOBBY_TIMEOUT (60s) constant
- Relay both new events in server/index.js
Content Script (content.js):
- Layered detection: loadeddata + MutationObserver src-change + heartbeat
- Debounced onEpisodeTransition() sends signal ONLY; no eager pause
- PAUSE_FOR_LOBBY handler pauses only after background confirms feature enabled
- startLobbyPoll() polls title match without premature pause for non-initiators
- checkAndReportLobbyReady() pauses and sends EPISODE_READY_LOCAL on match
- CONTENT_BOOT recovery for re-injection after hard navigation
Background (background.js):
- Episode lobby state persisted in chrome.storage.session with recovery
- EPISODE_CHANGED: checks setting, creates lobby, sends PAUSE_FOR_LOBBY to tab
- EPISODE_LOBBY/READY server event handlers with dedup logic
- 60s timeout cancels lobby (Option B) with Chrome failure notification
- Peer departure handled: removes from readyPeers, re-checks completion
- executeEpisodeLobby() reuses existing Force Sync pipeline at targetTime 0.0
- Lobby cleared on LEAVE_ROOM; status exposed in GET_STATUS
Popup:
- Auto-Sync Next Episode toggle in Settings tab (default: off, opt-in)
- Episode Lobby status card in Sync tab with peer readiness display
- LOBBY_UPDATE message handler for real-time UI updates
