Re-investigated ersatztv#1 against the live stack: ErsatzTV emits
request-host-driven URLs (44 cached guide fragments use {RequestBase},
zero baked localhost), and Jellyfin no longer tuners ErsatzTV directly —
it funnels through Dispatcharr. The historical localhost came from a
client fetching with Host: localhost:8409, a path that no longer exists.
Document the live topology + evidence + resolution; reframe the optional
base-URL setting as not-built; note the latent fragility. Remove the now
spent handoff doc.
