LIVE SERVICES FIX
-----------------
V4.3.6 adds a browser-safe JSONP fallback for public Bitesize live-service files. This is used only when normal HTTPS/CORS requests are blocked by a locally opened browser app.

• V4.5.4 reads Catalogue Manager genre metadata and adds genre search/filtering in My Library, Discover and Standards Coverage.

V4.5.7 ENGAGEMENT UPDATE
------------------------
• New-resource celebration appears only when a genuinely new resource is added.
• A secret bonus resource unlocks permanently after five unique resources are added.
• Home softly surfaces up to three timely seasonal catalogue picks without pop-ups.
• Seasonal catalogue metadata is supported for future Catalogue Manager exports.


V4.5.9 LARGE RESOURCE LOADING
-----------------------------
When a ZIP is added, Reading Library now shows a clear full-screen loading panel with progress, elapsed time and reassuring guidance for large 150–250 MB resource packs. The app prevents accidental duplicate imports while processing and hands off cleanly to the existing resource-added celebration.
