(public) Proprietary timers and display power commands now control the connected HDMI display over CEC: woken up and switched to the player's input (with the timer volume, when above 0) when ON, standby when OFF.

(public) Ability to disable volume/brightness enforcement via registry for a specific read-only CC setup.
(public) Background video layering (background prepare option) now works again — the BrightScript z-order check was a case-sensitive comparison against "true", but the JS boolean marshals across the bridge as a case-variant string, so background mode never engaged and video always rendered in front of the HTML content
(public) XC5 video prepare() is now short-circuited in JavaScript instead of round-tripping to BrightScript only to have it return a failure that was silently swallowed (XC5 loads video just-in-time and never prepares)
