Define project vision, requirements (19 v1 + 6 v2), and 5-phase roadmap for building a cross-platform Electron GUI backed by FastAPI.
Remove |safe filter from item_payload hidden input to prevent
broken JSON payloads when movie titles contain quotes or accents.
The |safe filter prevented Django from HTML-escaping special characters,
which broke the HTML attribute parsing when titles contained single
quotes (e.g., "Lo chiamavano Trinità"). This caused "invalid payload"
errors when attempting to download such movies.
With auto-escaping:
- HTML source: {"name": "Trinità"} (safe)
- Browser displays: {"name": "Trinità"}
- Form submits: original text (valid JSON)
Fixes Arrowar#1
