Summary of Changes

Hello @TimilsinaBimal, I'm Gemini Code Assist¹! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!

This pull request delivers a significant overhaul to the Watchly application, transforming its user experience with a new multi-step setup wizard. This change introduces a dedicated account management system for Watchly users, allowing them to create and log into their Watchly accounts to manage personalized settings. On the backend, the architecture has been updated to store user-specific configurations directly within the generated token, simplifying manifest URLs and enhancing security. The frontend now provides a guided, intuitive flow for both new and returning users to connect their Stremio accounts and customize their Watchly experience.

Highlights

• Multi-Step Setup Wizard: The user interface has been completely reworked into an intuitive multi-step setup wizard, guiding users through Stremio login, configuration, catalog management, and installation.
• Watchly Account Management: Introduced a new account management system for 'Watchly' users, allowing them to create accounts with a username and password, and log in to update their settings. This decouples user settings from Stremio credentials.
• Simplified Manifest URL: User settings are now stored directly within the generated token, eliminating the need to embed settings parameters in the manifest URL, resulting in cleaner and more secure URLs.
• New API Endpoints: Added a /tokens/verify endpoint to check for existing Watchly accounts and updated the /tokens/ (POST and DELETE) endpoints to handle the new Watchly credentials and store user settings.
• Enhanced Frontend Logic: The frontend JavaScript has been extensively refactored to manage the wizard's state, navigation between steps, handle new user/existing user flows, and dynamically populate/update configuration options.

Code Review

This pull request introduces a major rework of the UI into a multi-step setup wizard, backed by a new account management system using 'Watchly' credentials. This allows settings to be stored on the server rather than in the URL, which is a significant improvement. The backend changes are extensive to support this new flow, including new endpoints and updated token derivation logic. My review identifies a critical security vulnerability related to account creation, a medium-severity issue with error handling, and a minor UI bug. Overall, this is a great enhancement, but the critical issue should be addressed before merging.
