fix(newsfeed): fix full article view and add framing check (#4039)
I was playing around with the newsfeed notification system
(`ARTICLE_MORE_DETAILS`, `ARTICLE_TOGGLE_FULL`, …) and discovered some
issues with the full article view:
The iframe was loading the CORS proxy URL instead of the actual article
URL, which could cause blank screens depending on the feed. Also, many
news sites block iframes entirely (`X-Frame-Options: DENY`) and the user
got no feedback at all — just an empty page. On top of that, scrolling
used `window.scrollTo()` which moved the entire MagicMirror page instead
of just the article.
This PR cleans that up:
- Use the raw article URL for the iframe (CORS proxy is only needed for
server-side feed fetching)
- Check `X-Frame-Options` / `Content-Security-Policy` headers
server-side before showing the iframe — if the site blocks it, show a
brief "Article cannot be displayed here." message and return to normal
view
- Show the iframe as a fixed full-screen overlay so other modules aren't
affected, scroll via `container.scrollTop`
- Keep the progressive disclosure behavior for `ARTICLE_MORE_DETAILS`
(title → description → iframe → scroll)
- Delete `fullarticle.njk`, replace with `getDom()` override
- Fix `ARTICLE_INFO_RESPONSE` returning proxy URL instead of real URL
- A few smaller fixes (negative scroll, null guard)
- Add `NEWSFEED_ARTICLE_UNAVAILABLE` translation to all 47 language
files
- Add e2e tests for the notification handlers (`ARTICLE_NEXT`,
`ARTICLE_PREVIOUS`, `ARTICLE_INFO_REQUEST`, `ARTICLE_LESS_DETAILS`)
## What this means for users
- The full article view now works reliably across different feeds
- If a news site blocks iframes, the user sees a brief message instead
of a blank screen
- Additional e2e tests make the module more robust and less likely to
break silently in future MagicMirror versions
