release: v3.3.51

User reported two coupled issues in the accounts panel:
- "VOE Upload: CSRF-Token nicht gefunden. Bist du eingeloggt?" fires
  intermittently across multiple VOE accounts when "Accounts prüfen" runs.
  Each retry "fixes" one and breaks another — classic anti-bot burst response.
- The flat badge strip becomes unreadable with many accounts; user wants
  collapsible per-hoster groups with "N/M" headers and green/red indicators,
  click to expand to per-account detail.

DISCRIMINATOR CHECK (cheap before serializing): grep'd lib/voe-upload.js for
module-level state — none. Each new VoeUploader() carries its own cookie Map.
Burst-throttle on VOE's side is the only plausible root cause.

CONCURRENCY FIX in main.js runHosterHealthCheck:
- Group checks by hoster, run each hoster's group SEQUENTIALLY, groups in
  parallel (Promise.all of sequential runners). Cross-hoster parallelism
  preserved; intra-hoster bursts eliminated.
- Result array preserves input order via a result-index map.
- Hardening per review: dedup duplicate {hoster, accountId} entries before
  grouping (no wasted API calls if a caller ever sends duplicates), and entries
  missing accountId now return a clean "Account-ID fehlt" error instead of
  silently calling per-hoster checker with null config.
- Validate-credentials and checkSingleAccount paths unchanged (single-check
  payloads run the same way regardless).
- Latency trade-off acknowledged: 5 VOE accounts ~5x faster path → up to 25s
  for that hoster's column. That's the cost for reliability; the user's
  alternative was 0/5 working on burst-failed runs.

UI FIX in renderer:
- New _buildAccountHosterGroupHtml emits a collapsible per-hoster group
  reusing the existing .hoster-panel-header / .panel-arrow CSS pattern.
- Header shows "VOE 4/5" (ok-count / total-accounts), a green/red/amber/gray
  status dot, plus pills for "N deaktiviert" and "N Fehler".
- Default: auto-expand any hoster with errors, checking, or unchecked
  accounts; collapse all-green.
- Open-state memory tracks user clicks. Per review: also tracks errorsAtClose
  snapshot so a NEW failure since the user's close forces re-expand once.
  Prevents the "I closed it once and now silent failures hide forever" risk.
- Single-card updates also refresh the parent group's header counter via
  _refreshHosterGroupHeader.
- Flat badge strip in renderHealthCheckResults is now a no-op stub — the
  per-hoster headers carry the same info, less duplication.

Three-lens review (workflow wch4p9ee9): concurrency PASS_WITH_NOTES, ui-state
PASS_WITH_NOTES, comment-policy PASS (zero new // or /* */ comments).
Latent concerns from review applied as hardenings.

210/210 tests green, lint clean.

 **Fix:** Die offizielle doodapi.co JSON-API nutzen, wenn ein API-Key da ist — sie liefert result[0].filecode DIREKT in JSON (kein HTML-Formular) und nutzt einen persistenten api_key (kein alternder sess_id). Git-Historie: die API war der ORIGINAL-Pfad (initial commit); Web-Login kam später nur "als Alternative zum API-Key" — Key-Bevorzugung stellt also den gedachten Primärpfad wieder her, kämpft nicht gegen eine bewusste Entscheidung.
 **Regel:** Bei Hoster-Integrationen die offizielle API der Web-Scraping-Ebene vorziehen wo möglich. Empty-form/codeless-2xx = Hoster-Backend-Flake (hosterTransient), Account NICHT als tot markieren — auf BEIDEN Pfaden (Web + API) gleich klassifizieren.
 **Voraussetzung:** Engagiert nur wenn der Doodstream-Account einen gültigen API-Key hat (doodstream.com/settings). Keyless-Accounts bleiben beim Web-Pfad.
+
+## 2026-05-28 — Doodstream empty-form: live diagnosis confirmed API path is the fix
+**Verifiziert mit echtem Account-Key (read-only API-Calls):**
+- account/info → status 200, Key gültig, Storage unlimited. Premium ABGELAUFEN (2025-10-03) — Uploads gehen TROTZDEM.
+- upload/server → liefert gültigen Node (cv1130ed.cloudatacdn.com) auch ohne Premium → API-Upload-Pfad nutzbar.
+- file/list → 90.548 Dateien; Uploads landen server-seitig INTERMITTIEREND (viele Burn-Notice-Folgen genau im "Fehler"-Zeitfenster vorhanden). Das leere Formular ist also nicht "immer kaputt", sondern manchmal — der Web-Form-Registrierungs-Callback (fs-public.intconnect.net) timeoutet sporadisch.
+**Konsequenz:** API-Weg (result[0].filecode inline) umgeht den failenden Callback → richtiger Fix. file/list-Recovery ist NICHT tote Last (Dateien erscheinen ja) — aber bei 90k-Accounts MUSS man sort=created&order=desc erzwingen, sonst ist die frische Datei nicht auf Seite 1.
+**Regel:** Bei "geht manchmal/manchmal nicht" + Hoster mit offizieller API: erst per read-only API-Call (account/info, file/list) gegen den ECHTEN Account verifizieren statt am Client weiterzuraten. Das beendet Spekulations-Schleifen.
