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
