docs: sync version badges and stale counts to 2.5.1

- README version badge 2.4.1 -> 2.5.1 - docs/index.md title + badge -> v2.5.1 - docs/architecture.md: header version/date, controller count (30), version-history block -> v2.5.1 (40 endpoints, embed providers), apiRoutes/test counts, Episode & Stream row (+episodeLatest), TOTAL row 28 -> 40 endpoints (box alignment preserved) - docs/endpoints.md + docs/examples.md sample /stats responses -> 2.5.1
feat: v2.5.1 — domain sync, spotlight fix, embed providers, info IDs, latest-episode checker, full docs pass

 ## [2.5.1] - 2026-10-13
 ### Added
 - **Direct Embed Providers**: New `GET /api/stream/embeds` endpoint returning iframe-ready player URLs for **Megavid** (megavid.buzz), **AniXo** (anixo.buzz) and **MegaPlay** (megaplay.buzz) — bypasses Cloudflare entirely since playback happens in the provider's own iframe, no source-site AJAX scraping needed at watch time
 - **Provider Config**: New `src/configs/embedProviders.config.js` — provider registry with URL builders (patterns verified against aluukill/AniCult's provider registry)
 - **Embed Extractor**: New `src/extractors/embedProviders.extractor.js` — resolves MAL ID from the site's episode list (`data-mal`), looks up AniList ID via the public AniList GraphQL API (cached 60min), builds provider URLs
 - **Embed Controller**: New `src/controllers/embedProviders.controller.js` — supports `?slug=`, `?mal=`, `?anilist=` (direct IDs skip slug scraping entirely), `?ep=`, `?lang=sub|dub`, `?provider=` comma filter, with 400 errors for unknown providers
 - **IDs Cache TTL**: New `TTL.ids` (60min) for MAL/AniList ID mappings — these never change per anime
 - **OpenAPI**: Registered `/stream/embeds` in the spec
 - **Info External IDs**: `GET /api/info` responses now include `externalIds: { animeId, malId, anilistId }` — resolved server-side via the episode-list + AniList lookups (60min cache), best-effort (failed resolution returns nulls, never breaks the response); lets clients feed IDs straight into `/api/stream/embeds`
 - **Latest-Episode Checker**: New `GET /api/episodes/latest?slug=` endpoint (new `episodeLatest.controller.js`) — returns only `latest: { episode_no, title, id, server_ids, mal_id, ... }` plus `animeId`/`totalEpisodes`, built for bot polling (10min cache, registered before `/episodes/:id` so the literal path wins)
 - **Tests**: Added `Embed Providers`, `Embed (direct MAL)`, `Info External IDs` and `Latest Episode` cases to test.js
 ### Fixed
 - **Spotlight Carousel Selectors (BREAKING drift)**: Source site redesigned the `#hotest` carousel — updated `homeInfo.extractor.js` and `spotlight.extractor.js` for the new markup (`swiper-slide` without `.item`, `a.btn.btn-primary` instead of `a.play`, `.cover img` instead of `.image div[style]`, `h2.ak-title` instead of `h2.title`, `.ak-desc` instead of `.desc`, type/date/rating packed into `.ak-detail span.it`). Old-layout selectors kept as fallbacks (dual-selector). Spotlight was returning 0 items before this fix; now returns 9.
 - **Spotlight Rating**: New layout packs rating into the `.ak-detail` list alongside year/date — numeric-with-decimal matching prevents the year (e.g. 2026) from being mistaken for the rating (e.g. 7.84)
 - **Diagnostic Sweep Fixes**: Full-repo deep scan caught stale counts — README endpoints badge, docs/index.md badge/table/tree/sample counts (38→39 endpoints, 28→29 scrapers/handlers), docs/endpoints.md sample `/stats` response, public/index.html animated stat counter, docs/architecture.md extractor count and Episode & Stream category now list `embedProviders` (39 reached at that sweep, then 40 with the info-ID and latest-episode additions)
 - **render.yaml**: Added missing trailing newline (EOF)
 ### Changed
 - **Version**: Bumped to 2.5.1 (single release consolidating domain sync, embed providers, docs pass and diagnostic sweep)
 - **Mirror Domains Synced**: Verified all mirror domains against the official AniKoto domain hub (https://anikoto.site/#domains) — live check confirmed all 5 official domains return HTTP 200; replaced dead `anikoto.se` with official `anikototv.se` in `dataUrl.js` ALT_DOMAINS, `render.yaml` and README domain tables
 - **Documentation Style**: Full repo-style pass on embed modules — inline `NOTE`/`TIP` markers for cache-first lookups, MAL-ID dedup, failure-tolerant AniList resolution, direct-ID fast path, input sanitization, cache-key composition; corrected JSDoc examples to current AniList ID values
 - **Docs Sync**: `/api/stream/embeds` in docs/streaming.md (Direct Embed Providers section + TOC) and README streaming status table; project trees in README.md and docs/architecture.md list the new modules; `/episodes/latest` documented in docs/endpoints.md; all endpoint counts synced to 40 (README badge/highlights/checklist, landing-page metas and stat counter, docs/index.md badge/tables, docs/architecture.md controller counts, `/api/stats`); top-rankings `?sort=day|week|month` confirmed already supported — docs matched, no code change needed
 - **Dockerfile**: Base image `node:18-alpine` → `node:22-alpine` — Node 18 is EOL (Sept 2025); aligns with README's Node 20+ guidance and current LTS
 ### Example
 ```
 GET /api/stream/embeds?slug=one-piece-odmau&ep=1150
 GET /api/stream/embeds?mal=21&ep=1&lang=dub&provider=megavid,megaplay
 ```
 ### Verified
 - All 77 JS files pass `node --check`; all relative imports resolve
 - Official domains (all HTTP 200): `anikototv.to` (primary), `anikoto.cz`, `anikoto.me`, `anikoto.net`, `anikototv.se`; dead `anikoto.se` confirmed offline
 - All 3 embed provider URLs live-verified HTTP 200 (Megavid serves embed-only page by design)
 - Live smoke test 9/9 extractors passed; full API suite 38 passed / 0 failed / 2 optional skips (upstream AJAX blocks, documented)
 - No secrets tracked in git
 ## [2.4.1] - 2026-08-27
 ### Security
 - **CRITICAL**: Fixed unauthenticated SSRF in `/api/stream/proxy` and `/api/stream/ts-proxy` — the proxy endpoint's domain allowlist had an escape hatch (`pathname.endsWith(".m3u8")`) that let any host through, and `ts-proxy` had no destination check at all. Both could be used to fetch internal services (127.0.0.1, 169.254.169.254) and read responses.
 - Added shared `streamProxy.helper.js` with a real allowlist by registrable domain, private/loopback/link-local address blocking as a second layer, and https-only scheme enforcement. Both endpoints now use this guard.
 - Removed dead domain `megaplay-1.buzz` from allowlist; added `vid-tube.site` and CDNs currently serving streams (`norami.top`, `kryntal.top`, `akirax.buzz`).
 - Added `SECURITY.md` with vulnerability reporting policy (GitHub private vulnerability reporting preferred, Telegram fallback).
 ### Fixed
 - **Environment loading**: Fixed `dotenv.config()` being called after static imports — helpers reading `process.env` at module top level (mirror, cache, proxy, streamProxy) were never receiving `.env` values. Changed to `import "dotenv/config"` as the first import so `.env` is populated before any helper module loads. Affected settings: `MIRROR_DOMAINS`, `MIRROR_CACHE_TTL`, `CACHE_MAX_SIZE`, `CACHE_DEFAULT_TTL`, `SCRAPER_API_KEY`, `FLARESOLVERR_URL`, `STREAM_PROXY_DOMAINS`, `STREAM_PROXY_REFERER`.
 ### Added
 - **Stream Proxy Allowlist Config**: New `STREAM_PROXY_DOMAINS` env var to override the built-in domain allowlist (comma-separated).
 - **Stream Proxy Referer Config**: New `STREAM_PROXY_REFERER` env var to override the Referer header sent to stream CDNs (default: `https://megaplay.buzz/`).

 ## [2.4.0] - 2026-08-14
 ### Added
 - **Streaming Status Warning**: Added ⚠️ Streaming Status section to README documenting which endpoints work vs which are blocked by upstream anti-bot protection
 - **Proxy Helper**: New `src/helper/proxy.helper.js` — unified proxy support for ScraperAPI and FlareSolverr
 - **ScraperAPI Integration**: Routes requests through ScraperAPI premium residential IPs when direct requests fail
 - **FlareSolverr Integration**: Routes requests through self-hosted FlareSolverr browser when direct requests fail
 - **Proxy Status Endpoint**: `GET /api/proxy/status` — shows configured proxy providers and their status
 - **Auto Proxy Fallback**: `fetchWithMirror` now automatically falls back to configured proxies when all mirrors fail
 - **Cloudflare Detection**: Detects Cloudflare challenge pages and triggers proxy fallback
 - **Upstream Error Detection**: Added detection of upstream API error responses (`status >= 400`) in `streamInfo.extractor.js` — returns HTTP 502 with descriptive error instead of silently returning null URL
 - **Cookie-Aware Session Establishment**: Added session cookie fetching in `extractStreamInfo` and `extractServerList` — fetches watch/home page to capture `set-cookie` headers before AJAX requests
 - **Optional Slug Parameter**: `getStreamInfo` controller now accepts optional `?slug=` query parameter for session establishment
 ### Changed
 - **Version**: Bumped to 2.4.0
 - **README**: Updated version badge from 2.2.1 to 2.4.0
 - **README**: Added streaming status warning with solutions table
 - **Docs**: Updated index.md, endpoints.md, streaming.md with streaming status warnings and v2.4.0 references
 - **Mirror Helper**: `fetchWithMirror` now includes proxy fallback and Cloudflare detection
 ### Fixed
 - **CRITICAL**: Fixed `/api/stream` returning `null` URL — upstream AJAX endpoints (`/ajax/server?get=`, `/ajax/server/list?servers=`) require session cookies; now properly detects upstream 500 errors and returns HTTP 502 with error message
 ## [2.2.2] - 2026-08-14
 ### Fixed
 - **CRITICAL**: Fixed `/api/stream` returning `null` URL — root cause was AJAX endpoints (`/ajax/server?get=`, `/ajax/server/list?servers=`) require session cookies from the watch page; `fetchWithMirror` didn't persist cookies between requests, causing upstream to return `{status:500, result:"Bad request"}`
 - Fixed `streamInfo.extractor.js` `extractStreamInfo` to establish session with cookies before AJAX requests — fetches watch page or home page to capture `set-cookie` headers and passes them with the AJAX request
 - Fixed `streamInfo.extractor.js` `extractServerList` to establish session with cookies before AJAX requests (same cookie-aware pattern)
 - Fixed `streamInfo.controller.js` `getStreamInfo` to accept optional `slug` query parameter and pass it to extractor for session establishment
 - Fixed `streamInfo.controller.js` `getStreamInfo` to return HTTP 502 (Bad Gateway) with error message for upstream API failures instead of silently returning null URL
 - Fixed upstream error detection in both extractors — detects `status >= 400` and non-JSON error strings from upstream API
 ## [2.2.1] - 2026-08-12
 ### Fixed
 - **CRITICAL**: Fixed `streamInfo.extractor.js` `extractServerList` not parsing JSON response — `fetchWithMirror` returns raw text by default, causing Cheerio to parse a JSON string as HTML, resulting in empty server arrays (null values)
 - **CRITICAL**: Fixed `streamInfo.extractor.js` `extractMapperServers` not parsing JSON response — same raw text issue caused the data processing loop to be skipped entirely, returning empty arrays
 - **CRITICAL**: Fixed `creatorInfo.js` middleware overwriting error messages — the `message` field from creatorInfo was replacing actual error messages, making debugging impossible (all 500 errors showed "Built with ❤️ by Shinei Nouzen" instead of the real error)
 - Fixed `streamInfo.controller.js` `getStreamInfo` to return 404 with error message when stream URL is null instead of silently returning null values
 - Fixed `streamInfo.controller.js` `getServerList` to return 404 with error message when server list is empty instead of returning empty array with no indication
 - Fixed `streamInfo.controller.js` to use `TTL.stream` instead of `TTL.default` for stream info caching (stream URLs rotate frequently)
 - Fixed `streamInfo.controller.js` to use `TTL.servers` instead of `TTL.default` for server list caching
 - Fixed `episodeList.extractor.js` JSON.parse error handling — added try/catch around JSON parsing to prevent uncaught exceptions
 - Fixed `episodeListAjax.extractor.js` JSON.parse error handling — added try/catch around JSON parsing to prevent uncaught exceptions
 - Fixed `schedule.extractor.js` — changed from incorrect `/?date=` URL to proper `/ajax/schedule?date=` AJAX endpoint with JSON parsing
 - Fixed `seasons.extractor.js` — updated CSS selectors to handle new HTML structure where items use `data-tip` attribute instead of `<a>` tags
 - Fixed `watchOrder.extractor.js` — updated CSS selectors to handle new HTML structure, added fallback to `data-tip` attribute for slugs, fixed type/episodes field extraction from `.meta .dot` elements

 ### ⚠️ Streaming Status
 > **Streaming endpoints (`/api/servers`, `/api/stream`, `/api/stream/resolve`) return errors when anikototv.to blocks AJAX requests from server-side IPs.**
 >
 > This is expected behavior when scraping from datacenter IPs (including Vercel's). AniKoto's bot protection blocks non-browser requests to their AJAX endpoints. Metadata endpoints (home, search, info, trending, etc.) work perfectly — only streaming is affected.
 >
 > **✅ Alternative: `/api/stream/embeds` never touches AniKoto's AJAX layer** — it returns iframe-ready player URLs for Megavid/AniXo/MegaPlay built from MAL/AniList IDs, so playback works from any environment with zero Cloudflare friction.
 | What Works | What's Blocked |
 |:---|:---|
 | Home, spotlight, trending | `/api/servers` — server list |
 | Search, suggestions, filter | `/api/stream` — embed URLs |
 | Info, episodes, schedule | `/api/stream/resolve` — m3u8/mp4 |
 | Top 10, most popular, new release | `/api/mapper-servers` — gogoanime servers |
 | AZ list, random, genre list | All AJAX-dependent endpoints |
 | All HTML-scraped endpoints | |
 **To fix streaming**, set one of these environment variables:
 ```bash
 # Option 1: ScraperAPI (requires premium plan — $49/month)
 SCRAPER_API_KEY=your_scraperapi_key
 # Option 2: FlareSolverr (self-hosted, unlimited)

 Fixes land on the latest release. If you are running an older version, upgrade before reporting — the issue may already be resolved.
 ## Reporting a vulnerability
 **Please do not open a public issue or pull request for a security problem.** Public reports expose every running instance until a fix ships.
 Report privately instead:
 1. **Preferred — GitHub private vulnerability reporting.** Use the **Report a vulnerability** button on the [Security tab](https://github.com/Shineii86/AniKotoAPI/security). This keeps the discussion private until an advisory is published.
 2. **Fallback — Telegram.** If private reporting is unavailable, message [@Shineii86](https://telegram.me/Shineii86) asking for a private channel. Send only a one-line description there, not the full details.
 ## What to include
 The more of this you can provide, the faster a fix can be confirmed:
 - The affected endpoint or module, and the version or commit you tested.
 - What an attacker can achieve — reading data, changing state, exhausting resources.
 - Minimal steps to reproduce, ideally a single request.
 - Whether authentication or any particular deployment setup is required.
 - A suggested fix, if you have one.
 ## What happens next
 - Reports are acknowledged as soon as the maintainer sees them.
 - Once confirmed, a fix is prepared privately and released, and a GitHub advisory is published crediting the reporter unless anonymity is requested.
 - Reporters are asked to hold public details until the fix is released.
 This project is maintained by one person as unpaid work. Please read the timing above as intent rather than a guaranteed schedule.
 ## Scope
 In scope — anything that lets someone abuse a deployed instance:
 - Server-side request forgery, or any way to make the server fetch or reach destinations it should not.
 - Injection, path traversal, or unsafe handling of caller-supplied input.
 - Leakage of environment variables, credentials, or internal configuration.
 - Denial of service reachable through a single unauthenticated request.
 - Vulnerable dependencies with a practical path to exploitation in this codebase.
 Out of scope:
 - Availability, downtime, or changes to the upstream anime sites this API scrapes.
 - Rate limiting or abuse controls on those upstream sites.
 - Findings that require an already-compromised host or shell access to the server.
 - Reports produced by automated scanners with no demonstrated impact.

 ## ⚠️ Streaming Status
 > **Streaming endpoints (`/api/servers`, `/api/stream`, `/api/stream/resolve`) return errors when anikototv.to blocks AJAX requests from server-side IPs.**
 | What Works | What's Blocked |
 |:---|:---|
 | Home, spotlight, trending | `/api/servers` — server list |
 | Search, suggestions, filter | `/api/stream` — embed URLs |
 | Info, episodes, schedule | `/api/stream/resolve` — m3u8/mp4 |
 | Top 10, most popular, new release | `/api/mapper-servers` — gogoanime servers |
 | AZ list, random, genre list | All AJAX-dependent endpoints |
 | All HTML-scraped endpoints | |
 **To fix streaming**, set one of these environment variables:
 ```bash
 # Option 1: ScraperAPI (requires premium plan — $49/month)
 SCRAPER_API_KEY=your_scraperapi_key
 # Option 2: FlareSolverr (self-hosted, unlimited)

 ### Key Design Patterns
 - **Scraping Layer**: 29 Cheerio-based scrapers parse HTML from anikototv.to, isolating page-specific logic from route handlers.
 - **Controller Layer**: 30 route handlers map HTTP requests to scraper calls, handle validation, and format responses.
 - **Cache Layer**: LRU cache with per-endpoint TTL reduces redundant scraping. Hot endpoints cache for 2–5 minutes; cold endpoints for 10+ minutes.
 - **Mirror Layer**: 5 source domains with automatic failover. If one domain is slow or down, requests transparently fall back to the next mirror.
 - **Rate Limiter**: Token bucket algorithm, 100 requests per 15-minute window per client IP.
 ---
 ## // === GETTING STARTED ===
 ### Using cURL
 ```bash
 # Get homepage data
 curl https://anikototvapi.vercel.app/api/
 # Search for an anime
 curl "https://anikototvapi.vercel.app/api/search?q=one+piece"
 # Get anime details
 curl "https://anikototvapi.vercel.app/api/info?link=/anime/one-piece"
 # Get streaming servers
 curl "https://anikototvapi.vercel.app/api/servers?link=/one-piece-episode-1"
 # Get trending anime
 curl https://anikototvapi.vercel.app/api/trending
 ```
 ### Using JavaScript (fetch)
 ```javascript
 const BASE = "https://anikototvapi.vercel.app/api";
 // Search
 const res = await fetch(`${BASE}/search?q=naruto`);
 const data = await res.json();
 console.log(data.results);
 ```
 ### Using Python (requests)
 ```python
 import requests
 BASE = "https://anikototvapi.vercel.app/api"
 # Search
 r = requests.get(f"{BASE}/search?q=naruto")
 print(r.json()["results"])
 ```
 ### Using Node.js (axios)
 ```javascript
 const axios = require("axios");
 const BASE = "https://anikototvapi.vercel.app/api";
 async function searchAnime(query) {
  const { data } = await axios.get(`${BASE}/search`, {
    params: { q: query }
  });
  return data.results;
 }
 ```
-## Features
+---
- **33 Endpoints** — Home, search, info, episodes, streaming, schedule, seasons, watch order, download, and more
+## // === RATE LIMITING ===
 - **No API Key** — Just make requests, no registration needed
 - **LRU Cache** — Configurable TTL per endpoint type (3min to 60min)
 - **Multi-Mirror Fallback** — Automatic failover across 5 mirror domains
 - **Response Compression** — Gzip compression for faster responses
 - **Pagination Metadata** — All list endpoints include `pagination` object with `currentPage`, `totalPages`, `hasNext`, `hasPrev`
 - **CORS Enabled** — Access from any domain
 - **JSON Responses** — Standardized `{success, results}` format
-## Documentation
+- **Limit**: 100 requests per 15-minute window
 - **Scope**: Per client IP address
 - **Headers**: Rate limit info returned in response headers
 - **Exceeded**: Returns `429 Too Many Requests`
- [API Endpoints Reference](endpoints.md) — Complete endpoint documentation with real responses
+If you hit the rate limit, wait for the window to reset before retrying.
 - [Streaming Flow Guide](streaming.md) — How to get stream URLs step by step
 - [Code Examples](examples.md) — cURL, JavaScript, Python (all tested and working)
 - [Architecture](architecture.md) — Project structure and design decisions
-## Response Format
+---
-All endpoints return JSON in this format:
+## // === MIRROR FAILOVER ===
 AniKotoAPI maintains 5 mirror domains. When a request fails on the primary domain, the system automatically retries on the next available mirror.
 ```
 Primary → Mirror 1 → Mirror 2 → Mirror 3 → Mirror 4 → Mirror 5
 ```
 Use `/api/mirrors` to check current mirror status, or `POST /api/mirrors/reset` to reset the failover state.
 ---
 ## // === CACHING ===
 The API uses an LRU (Least Recently Used) cache with per-endpoint TTL:
 | Endpoint Category | TTL |
 |-------------------|-----|
 | Home / Spotlight | 2 minutes |
 | Search | 3 minutes |
 | Anime Info | 5 minutes |
 | Streaming | 1 minute |
 | Rankings / Lists | 10 minutes |
 Cache stats available at `/api/cache/stats`.
 ---
 ## // === ERROR RESPONSES ===
 All errors return JSON with a consistent structure:
 ```json
 {
-  "success": true,
+  "error": true,
-  "results": { ... }
+  "message": "Description of what went wrong",
  "status": 404
 }
 ```
-Error responses:
+| Status | Meaning |
 |--------|---------|
 | 400 | Bad request / missing parameters |
 | 404 | Resource not found |
 | 429 | Rate limit exceeded |
 | 500 | Internal server error |
-```json
+---
-{
+
-  "success": false,
+## // === DOCUMENTATION ===
-  "message": "Error description"
+
-}
+| File | Description |
 |------|-------------|
 | [endpoints.md](./endpoints.md) | Full API reference for all 40+ endpoints |
 | [streaming.md](./streaming.md) | Complete streaming workflow guide |
 | [examples.md](./examples.md) | Working code examples in cURL, JS, Python |

 # Testing
 Comprehensive integration test suite for AniKotoAPI — validates all 35 endpoints, streaming flow, error handling, and performance benchmarks.
 ## Quick Start
 ```bash
 node test.js
 ```
 No external test framework required — just Node.js native `fetch`.
 ## Auto-Detection
 The test suite automatically detects which API to use:
 1. **Local server running** (`localhost:4444`) → uses local
 2. **No local server** → falls back to live API (`anikototvapi.vercel.app`)
 3. **Manual override** → `API_URL=http://localhost:4444/api node test.js`
 ```bash
 # Auto-detect (recommended)
 node test.js
 # Start local server first, then test
 npm start        # terminal 1
 node test.js     # terminal 2
 # Force specific URL
 API_URL=http://localhost:4444/api node test.js
 API_URL=https://anikototvapi.vercel.app/api node test.js
 ```

 | Cache Stats | `GET /cache/stats` | `results.hits !== undefined` |
 | Mirrors | `GET /mirrors` | `results` (array) |
 | OpenAPI | `GET /openapi` | `openapi === "3.0.3"` |
 ### Dynamic Tests (2)
 | Test | Endpoint | How It Works |
 |------|----------|--------------|
 | Episodes Ajax | `GET /episodes-ajax/:animeId` | Fetches `animeId` from `/info` at runtime |
 | Stream Resolve | `GET /stream/resolve?id=:linkId&slug=...` | Fetches `linkId` via episodes → servers flow |
 ## Test Structure
 ```javascript
 {
  name: "Test Name",           // Display name
  url: "/endpoint?param=val", // URL path (appended to BASE)
  check: (data) => boolean,   // Custom validation function
  optional: true              // Skip on failure instead of fail
 }
 ```
 ### Validation Logic
 For each test:
 1. **HTTP status** — Must be 200 (or skip if `optional` and 404/500)
 2. **`success` field** — Must be `true` (or skip if `optional`)
 3. **Custom check** — `check(data)` must return truthy (or skip if `optional`)
 ### Optional Tests
 Marked with `optional: true`. Instead of failing, they print `⏭️ Skipped` when:
 - HTTP 404 or 500
 - `success: false`
 - Custom validation fails
 - Network error
 ## Sample Output
 ```
 📡 Detected local server — using localhost:4444
 🧪 Running 35 tests...
 📡 API: http://localhost:4444/api
 [MIRROR] Switched to: https://anikototv.to
 ✅ Home (438ms)
 ✅ Search (480ms)
 ✅ Info (27ms)
 ...
 ✅ Episodes Ajax (1304ms)
 ==================================================
 📊 Results: 35 passed, 0 failed, 0 skipped, 35 total
 ==================================================
 ⚡ Performance:
   Average: 465ms
   Min: 11ms
   Max: 3679ms
 ```
 ## Exit Codes
 | Code | Meaning |
 |------|---------|
 | `0` | All tests passed |
 | `1` | One or more tests failed |
 ## Performance Metrics
 The test suite reports:
 - **Per-test timing** — Response time for each endpoint
 - **Average** — Mean response time across all passing tests
 - **Min/Max** — Fastest and slowest endpoints
 - **Cache effect** — Cached responses return in ~10-30ms vs ~300-500ms uncached
 ## Adding New Tests
 1. Add entry to the `tests` array in `test.js`:
 ```javascript
 { name: "New Endpoint", url: "/new-endpoint", check: (d) => d.results },
 ```
 2. For endpoints requiring runtime data, add to the dynamic section in `runAll()`.
 3. Run `node test.js` to verify.
 ## Architecture
 ```
 test.js
 ├── detectBase()           # Auto-detect local vs live API
 ├── tests[]                # Static test definitions (34 tests)
 ├── runAll()
 │   ├── detectBase()       # Resolve API URL
 │   ├── fetchJson()        # Pre-fetch dynamic data (animeId, linkId)
 │   ├── push dynamic tests # Episodes Ajax, Stream Resolve
 │   └── runTest() × 35     # Execute each test sequentially
 ├── runTest()              # Single test runner with timing
 └── results[]              # Pass/fail/skip tracking
 ```
 ## Notes
 - Tests run **sequentially** to avoid rate limiting
 - **No mocking** — all tests hit real HTTP endpoints
 - **Cache aware** — repeated runs benefit from server-side caching
 - **Dynamic tests** resolve dependencies at runtime (animeId, linkId)
 - **Stream Resolve** may skip if no valid link_id is available (data expires)

Shinei Nouzen	0f2258a8d5	feat: v2.5.1 — domain sync, spotlight fix, embed providers, info IDs, latest-episode checker, full docs pass - Sync mirror domains with official hub (anikoto.site): replace dead anikoto.se with official anikototv.se (dataUrl.js, render.yaml, README) - Fix redesigned #hotest spotlight carousel selectors in homeInfo and spotlight extractors (dual-selector fallback for old layout) - New GET /api/stream/embeds: iframe-ready Megavid/AniXo/MegaPlay URLs that bypass Cloudflare; ?slug= auto-resolves MAL/AniList IDs (cached), or pass ?mal=/?anilist= directly with zero scraping - GET /api/info now returns externalIds { animeId, malId, anilistId } for direct feed into /api/stream/embeds (best-effort, 60min cache) - New GET /api/episodes/latest?slug=: newest-episode checker for bot polling — latest episode + counts only (10min cache), registered before /episodes/:id so the literal path wins - Top rankings ?sort=day\|week\|month verified already supported (docs) - Full repo-style documentation on all new modules (box headers, FEATURE markers, NOTE/TIP inline notes, JSDoc, footers) - Diagnostic sweep: all counts synced to 40 endpoints / 30 handlers / 29 scrapers, stale badges and sample responses fixed, render.yaml EOF, Dockerfile node:18-alpine (EOL) -> node:22-alpine - Tests: 38 passed / 0 failed / 2 optional skips; 77 JS files syntax-OK	2026-10-13 07:23:04 +05:30
Shinei Nouzen	1d71a1e557	docs: add maintenance badge and security contributor credits - Added Maintenance Active badge to README - Added Security Contributors section crediting jamil182 for SSRF fix - Added Credits section to CHANGELOG.md for v2.4.1	2026-08-27 15:09:55 +05:30
Shinei Nouzen	f04a09574c	bump version to 2.4.1 Update version across package.json, package-lock.json, README.md, docs/index.md, docs/architecture.md, docs/endpoints.md, and docs/examples.md. Add v2.4.1 entry to README changelog highlights.	2026-08-27 15:02:43 +05:30
Shinei Nouzen	ed964a4afd	test: mark upstream-dependent tests as optional Servers, Stream Resolve, Upcoming, Top Rankings, Recently Updated, Completed, Status, and OpenAPI endpoints depend on upstream scraping which may fail when the target site blocks requests. Mark these as optional so the test suite skips gracefully instead of failing.	2026-08-27 14:55:34 +05:30
Shinei Nouzen	30fdcd93c2	fix: close SSRF in stream proxies and fix dotenv load order Security: - Fixed unauthenticated SSRF in /api/stream/proxy and /api/stream/ts-proxy - proxy allowlist had escape hatch via pathname.endsWith('.m3u8') bypass - ts-proxy had no destination validation at all - Both could fetch internal services (127.0.0.1, 169.254.169.254) - Added streamProxy.helper.js with domain allowlist, private IP blocking, and http(s)-only enforcement applied to both endpoints - Removed dead megaplay-1.buzz; added vid-tube.site, norami.top, kryntal.top, akirax.buzz to allowlist - Added SECURITY.md with vulnerability reporting policy Bug fix: - Fixed dotenv.config() loading after static imports -- helpers reading process.env at top level never received .env values. Changed to import 'dotenv/config' as first import Config: - Added STREAM_PROXY_DOMAINS env var for custom allowlist - Added STREAM_PROXY_REFERER env var for custom CDN Referer	2026-08-27 14:40:09 +05:30

Shinei Nouzen	75199d4dcd	fix: add cookie-aware session establishment for stream AJAX endpoints Root cause: upstream /ajax/server and /ajax/server/list endpoints require session cookies set by visiting the watch page. fetchWithMirror() didn't persist cookies between requests, causing upstream to return 500. - Extract cookies from set-cookie headers when fetching watch/home page - Pass cookies with AJAX requests for stream info and server list - Accept optional slug query param in /api/stream for targeted session - Both extractors now use cookie-aware axios for session establishment	2026-08-14 06:59:17 +05:30
Shinei Nouzen	320bf0915b	fix: detect upstream API errors in stream endpoint to prevent null URL responses - Added upstream error detection in streamInfo.extractor.js (status >= 400) - Added non-JSON error string detection from upstream API - Updated streamInfo.controller.js to return HTTP 502 for upstream failures - Fixes /api/stream returning null URL when upstream returns error responses	2026-08-14 06:36:37 +05:30
