This commit introduces a manual mode for channel selection that allows users to lock onto a specific game, along with significant UI/UX improvements:
Manual Mode Features:
- Locks channel selection to a specific game when user manually selects a different game
- Automatically exits manual mode when all drops for the game are completed
- Shows visual indicators (🎯 badge) in status bar and drop display
- Allows manual exit via "Return to Auto Mode" button
- Prioritizes manual game in wanted_games list during auto-selection
UI/UX Improvements:
- Batch update system for channels and campaigns prevents flickering during refresh
- Channels list now updates atomically instead of clearing and re-adding
- Campaign loading emits all campaigns at once for smooth initial load
- Drop progress persists on initial_state load for reconnecting clients
- Game icons (box art) now displayed in channel list
- Campaign links added to inventory items
Bug Fixes:
- Fixed logging level to respect INFO by default (was hardcoded to DEBUG)
- Fixed channel cleanup to not call channel.remove() (handled by batch_update)
- Fixed drop display not persisting during channel switch
- Fixed stop_watching() clearing drop timer prematurely
- Fixed status display typo ("fames_to_watch" → "games_to_watch")
Backend Changes:
- Added manual mode tracking (_manual_target_channel, _manual_target_game)
- Added enter_manual_mode(), exit_manual_mode(), is_manual_mode() methods
- Added get_manual_mode_info() for API serialization
- Added batch_update() to ChannelListManager for atomic updates
- Added start_batch()/finalize_batch() to InventoryManager
- Added /api/mode/exit-manual endpoint
- Game model now stores box_art_url from GraphQL response
- Manual mode info included in /api/status and initial_state
Frontend Changes:
- Added manual mode badge and controls in UI
- Added channels_batch_update and inventory_batch_update socket events
- Added manual_mode_update socket event
- Countdown timer now properly tracked and cleared
- Drop display shows manual mode status with game name
- Exit manual mode button added to drop display area

Replace the legacy desktop/Tkinter client and packaging artifacts with a Docker-first, web-hosted approach.
- Add Docker quickstart and run-from-source instructions to the README to simplify deployment.
- Simplify launcher to invoke the new web backend module instead of the old desktop entrypoint.
- Update dependencies for a web UI stack (FastAPI, Uvicorn, python-socketio, Jinja2, etc.) and remove desktop/tray-specific packages.
- Remove legacy GUI, packaging and platform-specific helper code, along with obsolete build/pack scripts and AppImage assets to declutter the repo.
- Tidy project ignore rules to add runtime logs and editor metadata.
Rationale: streamline deployment, favor a browser-accessible interface, and reduce maintenance overhead from multiple platform-specific GUI/packaging implementations.
