EpicProvider reads the launcher's local .item manifests under %ProgramData% (no auth,
launcher need not run) with Playnite's exclusion filter (skip UE_* components +
non-launchable addons + dead install dirs); cover art from the base64 catcache.bin
(public Epic CDN, best-effort). Launch via the com.epicgames.launcher:// URI opened
through explorer.exe — the namespace:catalogItemId:appName triple, with a bare-appName
fallback so a launch is never dropped.
GogProvider enumerates HKLM\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\GOG.com\Games (winreg) + each
goggame-<id>.info primary FileTask into a direct-exe spawn (no Galaxy, dodges its
cold-start/anti-cheat). GOG cover art (public api.gog.com) is deferred — it needs an
HTTP fetch + cache off the hot all_games() path — so GOG is title-only for now.
windows_launch_for gains epic/gog arms; both providers wired into all_games() under
cfg(windows). Deps: base64 moved to the cross-platform table (Epic catcache decode +
Lutris art encode both need it); winreg added on the Windows target. Windows unit tests
cover the Epic exclusion filter + URI builder and the GOG spawn + play-task parsing.
