I have a couple of questions regarding the solution.

  1. Can someone prove or point me to a proof of the statement given at the end of the first paragraph starting with "it is well-known that angle BAT ..."? For something that is well-known the proof of it is surely hard to find.

  2. In the second paragraph quadrilateral $SFTE$ is obviously harmonic. Why? I know the definition, but can't prove it.

  3. At the end of the 2nd paragraph they project $T$ to infinity and say that $X$ is thus projected to $M$. Why? I played with the cross-ratio, but can't get anything close to the result.

1 and 3 are answered by Mindlack in the comments. His/her intuition how to approach 2 has led me to a proof, which I'm leaving here.

Since $AF$ touches $\omega_A$ at $F$, we have $\angle FTS=\angle SFA$, hence $\triangle AFT \sim \triangle AFS$ and $\frac{FS}{FT}=\frac{AF}{AT}$. Similarly, $\frac{SE}{TE}=\frac{AE}{AT}$. Since $AE=AF$, we get $FS\cdot TE=FT\cdot SE$. Which establishes that $SFTE$ is harmonic.
