• Keep Jellyfin 12 authentication on its modern MediaBrowser header while preserving manual API-key and Quick Connect credentials.
• Keep explicit Plembfin watched and unwatched decisions authoritative across rematched provider identities, clear stale aliases and resume progress, and block delayed provider flags from resurrecting unwatched items.
• Retire pending manual-watch reviews after an explicit unwatch while allowing a deliberate provider Mark played event to start a new review.
• Keep season and show watch dates chronological around edited episodes without rewriting existing dates.
• Update mounted show details in place after watch changes, preserving scroll position and artwork while preventing stale history from repainting an unwatched episode.

hotfix

• This update includes only update unwatched episodes when marking a season watched.
• Partially watched seasons update only the episodes that are still unwatched
• Existing watched episodes remain unchanged when completing a season
• Fully watched seasons retain the explicit Resync season action

v0.16.0

This update delivers broad performance improvements across media, library, history, metadata, caching, sync, and large-library workflows, with faster artwork loading and a new manual watch feature.

• Add a manual watch review queue with show grouping, bulk decisions, and custom watch dates
• Redesign season and episode details with clearer layouts, season navigation, artwork, and incremental loading
• Add onboarding and Settings controls for sync tuning, watch thresholds, and fast local-network sync
• Smooth media artwork loading and metadata prefetch
• Show a shimmer placeholder while media-page artwork loads.
• Preserve reserved image space across posters, episodes, cast, trailers, and galleries while respecting reduced-motion preferences.
• Bound background TMDB metadata prefetch batches to reduce cold-load timeouts.
• Make the remote backup passphrase field form-compatible and remove unused icon preloads.
• Repair watched state and localized TV matching
• Repair watched reports across Plex, Emby, and Jellyfin when Plembfin already has the canonical watched state
• Preserve canonical watch dates and explicit unwatched decisions across provider identities
• Match TVDB series by English translations and slugs when the primary title is localized
• Hide stale manual-review rows after the canonical watched state is confirmed
• Keep Plex, Emby, Jellyfin, and Plembfin watched/unwatched state synchronized with reliable now-playing and Up Next refreshes
• Restore complete TV show metadata and canonical show navigation from dashboard and history
• Harden large-library history, caching, sync retries, and provider identity matching
• Dismissing a manual watch review marks the item unwatched on the reporting media app before closing the review
• A failed provider correction leaves the review pending for retry
• Invalidate structural-only TV metadata caches so cast, images, trailers, reviews, and related shows load again
• Resolve title-only TV show pages through the full metadata pipeline and canonical provider route
• Preserve the selected season when canonicalizing a title-only TV show route
• Clicking a TV show poster or title from Up Next or watch history opens the show page instead of an episode-specific route
• Preserve the relevant season when opening a TV show from dashboard history surfaces
• Speed up media pages by deferring off-screen artwork
• Opening a movie or show page no longer downloads its whole cast row, poster rails and trailer thumbnails before you have scrolled to them
• Those images load as they come into view, so the details, watch state and app links on screen settle sooner on a first visit
• Revisiting a title is unchanged, since its artwork was already served from the browser cache
• Repair Up Next cards built from raw media-server data
• An Up Next card whose provider data carried the episode's own ID in place of the show's now links to the correct show page instead of one that cannot load
• Those cards show their poster again rather than a blank placeholder, where the media server had supplied an image address only it could resolve
• A card left with no usable show identity links by title instead of to a page that resolves to nothing
• Speed up non-library show pages and repair Up Next links
• Up Next now links an episode to the same show page as your watch history does; it previously built that link from the episode's own ID, opening a page that could not resolve and was slow to load
• Opening a show that is not in your library is far quicker: the page's slowest request drops from about 8.9 seconds to under 0.7
• Such a show is no longer looked up over and over during one page load, so its details settle sooner
• The open-in-Plex/Emby/Jellyfin lookup runs once per page instead of three times, and a title found in no connected server is remembered briefly rather than re-searching every server each time
• A show sharing its name with another in your library keeps linking by title rather than risking the wrong show's page
• Speed up history and remove large-library limits
• History page now loads in milliseconds instead of around seven tenths of a second on large libraries, with same-day rewatch collapsing unchanged
• Stats reports your entire watch history instead of silently describing only the newest 25,000 watches
• TV Shows and the dashboard list every show in the library rather than stopping at the same 25,000-watch ceiling
• Media pages no longer re-check for app updates or refetch diagnostic logs on every load
• Platform icons are fetched once per page instead of three times under three different addresses
• The background scheduler holds its once-a-minute cadence instead of drifting further behind with every slow tick
• Restore progress logs and login errors no longer display garbled characters
• Watch history caches rebuild faster after a watch is recorded
• Stop resume updates rebuilding library caches
• Saving a resume position no longer throws away the cached history, movies, shows and stats data, none of which depends on it; with a dashboard open during playback that was spending 22% of the time rebuilding on a normal library and 47% on a very large one, and is now zero
• Open pages still see resume progress move, because the change signal the browser watches now covers both watch history and resume positions
• Marking something watched still refreshes every derived view exactly as before
• Each build now serves its own asset URLs, so pulling a new build no longer leaves the browser running the previous build's JavaScript from cache
• Make the media and library pages substantially faster
• TV shows whose episodes all fall outside the most recent 25,000 watches no longer disappear from the TV Shows library; on a 90,000 watch test library that restored 408 missing shows
• Opening a TV show or episode page no longer makes an external metadata request just to look up an id the app already stored, and no longer re-asks Plex, Emby and Jellyfin whether the title is available on every single load
• An episode page asked the server for the same show record four times and now asks once, cutting about 1.1 seconds and 84KB from the load
• Movie and show pages no longer carry streaming availability for every country in the world when only two are shown, taking a movie page's metadata from 100KB to 76KB and the stored metadata here from 105MB to 63MB
• Movies pages answer from a cached projection instead of re-deriving the whole library each time: pages 1, 5 and 10 went from about 60ms to under 1ms on a 90,000 row library
• Library pages load all of a screen's posters in one request rather than one per card, and adding another page of results now appends the new cards instead of rebuilding every card already on screen
• The Stats page no longer downloads every period's report to display one, and the restore screen no longer re-downloads the whole restore report on every poll
• Library reads are backed by new database indexes, taking season lookups from 798ms to 28ms and recent-order reads from 767ms to 48ms
• Resolve code scanning alerts (#27) and close the remaining stack trace exposure (#28)
• Normalize caught provider, credential, outbound, and watchlist errors before they can reach API responses
• Movies pages now answer from a cached projection instead of re-deriving the whole library on every request: pages 1, 5 and 10 went from about 60ms to under 1ms on a 90,000-row library, and the page number no longer changes the cost
• The Stats page no longer downloads every period's report just to display one; it receives the totals, a short list of the available years and months, and only the report being viewed, fetching a different period when you pick one
• A completed restore's full result and log are stored separately from the live status row, so the restore screen stops re-downloading the entire report on every poll while still showing the whole log
• Library reads are backed by new database indexes covering season and title lookups, provider ids and recent ordering, with planner statistics refreshed once after they are created
• Poster and backdrop paths are stored as their own columns on the metadata cache, so artwork no longer requires parsing the full details blob
• Keep media details visible during reload
• Keep cached artwork, summaries, watched rows, and watch dates visible on direct detail reloads
• Revalidate local history and provider metadata in the background without blanking the page
• Keep episode-level provider identities from being promoted into the wrong series route
• Keep Up Next and watched state aligned across Plex, Emby, and Jellyfin, repair newly available provider episodes, preserve accurate progress, and restore episode titles
• Prevent stale media detail responses from repainting the dashboard after rapid navigation
• Keep show and movie detail hydration, watch actions, and provider-derived state consistent during asynchronous loads
• Improve scheduler, live-session, and incremental provider-sync behavior for reliable updates
• Make the dismiss action label explain that it also marks the item unwatched
• Display Mark watched now actions with the same neutral treatment as the other review choices
• Show prominent loading motion on the poster, episode tiles, and pending watch-date areas
• Polish refresh and menu controls
• Harden response caching, compression, and asset-version handling for safer browser loads.

v0.15.0

v0.15.0 brings a Discover feed, a private watchlist and ratings, personal lists as their own rails, faster Now Playing, a cleaner setup flow, and episode names that always show.

• Discover - browse cached TMDB discovery rails for movies and TV with type and genre filters, plus direct actions from each result.
• Personal watchlist - keep your own list of movies, shows, and episodes without ever changing your canonical watch history.
• Personal ratings - rate titles privately; an optional Personal Rating Sync pushes and pulls ratings two-way with Plex, Emby, Jellyfin, and Trakt with Plembfin as the conflict authority.
• Custom lists - render every custom list you keep as its own horizontal rail with four fixed desktop rows and additional lists below.
• Ratings and Watchlist sync - each collapsed to a single on/off Settings toggle that syncs with every connected service.
• Up Next rail - a mixed queue of the movies and episodes to continue next; each card can remove itself through the provider's own endpoint.
• Sync Activity - every sync attempt grouped by movie or show with the full event history preserved, targeted Retry, and a Retry-all-failed background job.
• Now Playing - live sessions appear and disappear within seconds, opening the dashboard refreshes immediately, and resume progress no longer makes the cards flicker.
• Guided setup - a cleaner, centered first-run wizard that no longer requires a media server; title watching can carry you through on its own.
• Fix Match from restore - resume a blocked restore by re-matching an item that lost its saved provider identity.
• Mobile media pages - Discover, Watchlist, Ratings, Custom Lists, and History use the same poster-first rails as the dashboard on phones.
• Dashboard and history cards now show the real episode name stored on the watch record - a watch reported by a media server as only a coordinate gets its name resolved at ingest, and Database Repairs can backfill names onto older rows.
• Up Next no longer paints the same next-up episode twice and no longer merges a re-release or reboot that aired a different year; dismissing a tile animates it out before the rail refreshes.
• Fixed the app freezing for up to a minute, which also stalled every page and the background scheduler - building the Up Next rail now finishes in under a second.
• Now Playing no longer marks a still-playing session as stopped after one failed check, or after Plex switches video quality mid-playback.
• Sync Activity retries resolve in place instead of leaving a stale duplicate error, and unconfigured servers are reported as skipped rather than failed.
• Dashboard Continue Watching posters no longer reload whenever a playing item's resume progress updates.
• Prevented scheduled Jellyfin polling from incorrectly undoing watched state during sync.
• Plex state notifications are coalesced so one library action does not fan out into repeated work.
• Scheduled every-season episode fetches so a show with many seasons no longer holds its detail page open for 10+ seconds.
• Personal rating sync resolves provider identities and reads ratings with your authenticated provider account.
• Shared TV cache rebuilds across concurrent readers, keeping bursts of history changes from starving the live health check.
• Personal Rating and Watchlist sync are each a single Settings toggle in one unified panel with status, queue, and provider recovery controls.
• Since Plex is the only service that can hold an unplayed watchlist, the Emby and Jellyfin watchlist clients were removed.
• Sidebar pinned to the viewport: footer stays visible below the nav, scroll stays vertical, and the scrollbar matches the theme.
• Watch-history restore is authoritative and target-aware, treating expected missing-library items as non-blocking skips.
• Split/combined episode numbering is canonicalized before dispatch; manual unwatches commit during restores.
• Episode cards and notifications resolve through their exact parent show so deep links open the right series.
• Up Next artwork prefers cached local posters and authenticated provider fallbacks.
• Sync Activity lets you expand a group inline, jump to the media, and retry without leaving the page.

v0.14.0

Fix - Compute changelog content locally instead of via unreliable CI push events

• Add saving-state feedback for episode watch actions and changelog release-process filtering
• Episode tiles pulse with a "Syncing..." overlay while marking watched/unwatched is in flight, including collapsed season accordion headers during whole-show or whole-season bulk actions
• Marking unwatched from the show control bar now batches requests in groups of 100, fixing shows with more than 100 watched episodes silently failing with no explanation
• The poster three-dot overflow menu (Mark Unwatched / Edit watch date / Fix match) now appears on TV show library cards and stays legible in light mode instead of rendering as dark-on-dark dots
• Compute changelog content locally instead of via unreliable CI push events
• Changelog content for develop, alpha, and main is now generated locally as part of running Push to git / Force to alpha / Force to main, using real git history, instead of a CI job reading GitHub's push-event commit list afterward - that list is empty or incomplete for alpha and main, which are always reached by a force-push, and was producing changelog entries with no real content
• Alpha and develop each keep a single current changelog entry that stays up to date automatically, instead of accumulating one entry per push that needed manual editing before release - Settings -> About now shows one current entry instead of a stack of build entries
• Alpha and main changelog generation now refuses to publish an entry whose only available content is a noise commit message (a bot bump or a plain merge commit), so a broken changelog entry can no longer reach Settings -> Changelog or the Discord release notification
• Removed the unused scripts/notify-reddit-release.js - Reddit release announcements are actually posted by a separate scheduled Devvit app (reddit-app/), which was already the real mechanism
• Batch watch-state dispatch by media identity
• Marking an entire show as watched now excludes Season 0 specials by default
• The watched-date dialog shows an Include specials (Season 0) checkbox, unchecked by default, to opt them back in
• Batch related watch-state updates by shared media identity to make large syncs safer and avoid duplicate provider work.

v0.12.12

Docs - Consolidate v0.12.11 changelog entry into higher-level bullets

• Consolidate v0.12.11 changelog entry into higher-level bullets
• Dropped a redundant Major Bug Fixes bullet that just restated the release's commit subject

v0.12.11

Fix - TV show detail and grid bulk-watch fixes

• Restore the missing three-dot overflow menu on TV Shows grid cards
• Season list rows now show Saving while a bulk watch action is in progress instead of a stale watched count
• Marking a season or whole show as watched no longer marks episodes that haven't aired yet
• Consolidate changelog entries at every promotion stage
• Push to git now squashes any pending local commits into one clean commit before pushing, so bloat never enters changelog.develop.json in the first place
• Force to alpha now reviews the CI-merged alpha changelog entry and tightens it if redundant, since it does not deduplicate bullets on its own
• Force to main now reviews the freshly generated release changelog entry the same way before syncing back to develop, formalizing the correction v0.12.9 needed by hand

v0.12.10

Docs - Consolidate v0.12.9 changelog entry into higher-level bullets

• Consolidate v0.12.9 changelog entry into higher-level bullets
• The auto-generated New Features section had 38 near-duplicate bullets (each commit's subject line plus its own detail bullets, all flattened together)
• Consolidated to 6 bullets covering the actual distinct efforts: Settings redesign, Media Servers panels, Webhooks split, Backup/Restore redesign, section URL renames, and Wipe Data
• Trimmed Major Bug Fixes and Tweaks the same way
• Regenerated CHANGELOG.md from the corrected changelog.json

v0.12.9

Feature - Add Wipe Data tools section and simplify settings help text

• Redesigned the Settings pages: single-column landing groups, consistent card backgrounds, and unified text sizing, with Guided Setup moved under Tools
• Media Servers now shows Plex, Emby, and Jellyfin as separate always-visible connection panels instead of a shared modal, and Seerr moved into the Connections group
• Webhooks split into its own group with a Setup Guides section and a separate Webhook Secret section
• Backup and Restore were redesigned and split into two top-level groups, each with Local and Remote sections, clearer restore-mode names (Merge/Replace into existing state), and a new Remote Plembfin Restore option
• Every settings section's URL now matches its sidebar label, with redirects kept for old bookmarks
• Added a Wipe Data section under Settings - Tools with four scopes (Watch History, Sync History & Logs, Everything Tracked, Wipe All / Fresh Start), and simplified the help text across every Settings page
• Settings child section URLs now correctly match their sidebar labels, fixing stale internal ids like #import and #health leaking into the address bar
• Fixed the Restore page's Local/Remote cards falling back to generic padding instead of matching the Backup page's cards
• Added backlog items for alternative tracker sync (Letterboxd/Simkl) and an mdblist metadata source, both requested via Reddit

v0.12.8

Feature - Background metadata refresh jobs, onboarding sidebar reminder, and Reddit release bot

• Background metadata refresh jobs, onboarding sidebar reminder, and Reddit release bot
• TMDB and TVDB Refresh Metadata now run as cancellable background jobs that survive closing Settings, navigating away, or reloading the page, instead of a client-driven paginated loop
• Replaced onboarding's forced redirect to /setup with a persistent, dismissible "Complete onboarding" sidebar reminder shown until a media server is connected and tested
• Added a "Restore from backup" shortcut to the setup wizard's overview step, reusing the same local-upload and Backblaze B2 restore tools already in Settings -> Backups
• Fixed Fix Match on an episode's poster menu prefilling the episode's own title instead of the show's title in the rematch search box
• Fixed the Settings -> Backups -> Restore tab appearing empty after leaving the onboarding wizard's restore flow partway through
• Added a Devvit app (reddit-app/) that posts and pins a release announcement to r/plembfin on a schedule, since Reddit declined script-app Data API access for this use case and recommended Devvit instead

v0.12.7

Merge pull request #23 from Lasikiewicz/dependabot/github_actions/github/codeql-action-4.37.8

• Merge pull request #23 from Lasikiewicz/dependabot/github_actions/github/codeql-action-4.37.8

v0.12.6

Docs - Check GHCR Cleanup isn't running before any push

• Stop updateWatchRecord's playstate rollback timing from racing
• The known-flaky test (updateWatchRecord rolls the old media_key's playstate back to a survivor) was exposing a real bug, not just test noise: getPlaystateForMediaSync's title-based fallback can surface either an old or a migrated media_key's playstate row for a shared title, and updateWatchRecord picked between them with fresh Date.now() calls a few statements apart
• When enough intervening work crossed a millisecond boundary, the newer write's timestamp would non-deterministically outrank the correct rolled-back row, so a Fix Match correction on a title-duplicate item could report the wrong watched state for the leftover, uncorrected identity
• Reused the single updatedAt timestamp already captured for the row update across every playstate write in the same updateWatchRecord call (both the watched_at date-edit path and the identity-change rollback path), removing the timing dependency entirely
• Verified with 40 back-to-back isolated runs of the previously-flaky test (0 failures, versus roughly 1-in-10 before) plus a full clean test suite run
• Check GHCR Cleanup isn't running before any push
• Added a precondition to Push to git, Force to alpha, and Force to main: verify ghcr-cleanup.yml isn't mid-run first, since it deletes images from the same GHCR package every push publishes new tags to and its own docs warn against running it in parallel against the same package

v0.12.5

Chore - Bump alpha build for f3f3d9b

• Bump alpha build for f3f3d9b

v0.12.4

Fix - Publish the release image in the same job that commits the changelog

• Publish the release image in the same job that commits the changelog
• The prior split (a separate publish-current job gated on the changelog-bump commit re-arriving as a trigger) never actually ran: a commit pushed with the default GITHUB_TOKEN doesn't trigger another workflow run, so this release's 0.12.3 image was never built or pushed to GHCR at all
• Moved the Docker build/push and Discord notification back into the same job that writes and commits the changelog, so every push to main reliably publishes exactly one image
• Manually published 0.12.3 as a one-off stopgap via the existing workflow_dispatch build so the current release isn't left without an image
• Corrected docs/development.md to describe the single-job flow

v0.12.3

Docs - Refresh dashboard, media, and stats screenshots; add Sync Activity

• Stop duplicate release image builds and add GHCR tag cleanup
• Fixed the release pipeline building and pushing the Docker image to GHCR twice per push to main; only the final job (which runs against the already-committed changelog/version bump) now builds and publishes it
• Added a weekly scheduled workflow that prunes old numbered develop-* and alpha-* image tags (keeping the newest 15 of each) and deletes dangling untagged images left behind when the latest/develop/alpha tags move
• The cleanup workflow starts in dry-run mode so nothing is deleted until a run has been reviewed
• Documented both changes in docs/development.md
• Restore the test suite to git tracking
• Removed test/ from .gitignore; it was added in commit 3d5b85b4 at the same time all 89 test files were deleted from git tracking, so the suite has existed only on local machines since - a fresh clone or CI checkout had zero test files, and npm run build's node --test step was silently running against nothing while still reporting success
• Re-added all 93 files currently under test/ (91 test files plus shared helpers) so the suite ships with the repo again and CI actually exercises it
• Refresh dashboard, media, and stats screenshots; add Sync Activity
• Replaced the now-playing, media, and stats screenshots with current captures of the app
• Added a new Sync Activity screenshot and README entry, matching the existing Sync Activity hub feature
• Move settings layout conventions into docs/frontend.md
• Moved the orphaned root-level 'layout defaults.md' into docs/frontend.md as a new Settings Card Shell section, since it wasn't linked from any doc index
• Corrected docs/frontend.md's settings-card padding claim while merging: the base .settings-card padding: 1.5rem rule only applies to help-column cards, since a more specific selector overrides it to 0 for any card inside the main column (which is what layout defaults.md was actually describing)

v0.12.2

Docs - Link Discord and Reddit communities in README

• Post release and alpha-build changelogs to a Discord channel
• New scripts/notify-discord-release.js posts a Discord embed built from the newest changelog.json (main releases) or changelog.alpha.json (alpha builds) entry
• Update-changelog.yml and docker-publish-alpha.yml each call the script as their final step, using a DISCORD_RELEASES_WEBHOOK repo secret
• No-ops quietly with no failing build when the secret isn't set, so forks and clones without it configured are unaffected
• Supports a --dry-run flag that prints the embed instead of posting, for checking formatting without a webhook
• Documented the new step and the required secret in docs/development.md
• Link Discord and Reddit communities in README
• Added Discord and Reddit links to the top navigation row
• Added a Community section linking to the Discord server and r/plembfin subreddit

v0.12.1

Fix - Correct rewatch and Plex echo sync bugs, clarify webhook setup

• Correct rewatch and Plex echo sync bugs, clarify webhook setup
• Fixed a bug where rewatching a show on a new day could be silently discarded and left showing a stale watch date instead of recording the new watch
• Fixed a bug where marking an item unwatched in Plembfin could be immediately overwritten by a delayed "still watched" signal echoed back from Plex
• Settings and onboarding now correctly show Plex needs no manual webhook setup, and add a warning to disable Plex's "Refresh library metadata periodically" scheduled task, which can otherwise reset watched state during its own maintenance window
• Fixed the Emby webhook setup instructions, which pointed to the wrong menu path
• Onboarding now shows the Emby and Jellyfin webhook setup guides even before those servers are connected, and shows the same Trakt "sole bridge" warning already shown in Settings
• Added a "Required" badge to the TMDB metadata card during onboarding
• Removed the raw webhook URL and background scheduler endpoint displays from Settings; the webhook URL is now shown inline within each platform's own setup guide

v0.12.0

Feature - Filter Sync Activity to failed items and fix dispatch telemetry accuracy

v0.10.0

Fix - Resolve CodeQL alerts and update undici and CodeQL action dependencies

• Edit Watch Date dialog now shows each watch's platform badge (Plex/Emby/Jellyfin)
• TV show control bar: Info moved to the end, the redundant Resync Watched button removed once a show is fully watched, and the top-bar Edit Date button removed
• Expand All/Collapse All moved inline next to the Seasons heading, right-aligned
• Availability pills (e.g. 15/40 Available, 7/40 Available in 4K) moved next to the season count in the Seasons heading
• Plex/Emby/Jellyfin app-link pills moved inline into the ratings row, right-aligned, instead of inside the Media facts panel
• Clicking the poster on a movie or show page now opens it in the photo lightbox
• Cast photo thumbnails now use the same rounded corners as posters
• Media facts panel redesigned: transparent card, real TMDB/TheTVDB/IMDb brand icons in a Ratings row, Plex/Emby/Jellyfin moved into a Watch Now row, Network and Available on show provider icons and link out to TMDB's where-to-watch page for the title
• Network icons now match even when TMDB's network name differs from its watch-provider name (e.g. Prime Video vs Amazon Prime Video); shows resolved via TheTVDB still show network name as text only since TVDB has no logo data
• Poster click now opens the photo lightbox, which renders with rounded corners to match posters
• Dark mode's accent color changed from blue to orange (matching the active TV Shows sidebar tab) across buttons, links, and highlights app-wide; light mode keeps blue
• Theme toggle now fades colors smoothly instead of switching instantly
• Fixed several legacy CSS rules that were silently overriding new sizing/color rules with stale hardcoded values
• Bumped cache-busting version strings for styles.css and the media detail modules so browsers pick up today's changes instead of serving stale cached copies
• Force Sync and Full Sync Watchstates now process independent library items with bounded concurrency instead of one at a time, dramatically speeding up large plans without exceeding the outbound pacing governor's per-server request limits
• Added a Fast Local-Network Sync checkbox to Settings -> Sync -> Sync Tuning (off by default) that raises those per-server limits further for setups where Plex, Emby, and Jellyfin are all self-hosted on the same trusted local network as Plembfin
• Cancelling a Force Sync now lets already-in-flight items finish instead of stopping after a single item
• Documented the new setting in Settings help, docs/settings.md, and the README configuration reference
• Fast Local-Network Sync (and any other pacing profile choice) now actually stays saved instead of silently reverting to standard the moment anything reloads config, which happened immediately after clicking Save
• The same silent-reset bug affected Sync Scope and the Authority (source-of-truth/conflict policy) settings, which are fixed by the same change
• Root cause: the settings loader's env-default merge step rebuilt its config object without carrying these three sections through, so they were treated as never-set and reset to their hardcoded defaults on every read
• Removing a duplicate watch (per-season, library-wide, or a single watch-date delete) could report an episode or movie as fully unwatched even though a real watch of it still existed, because the check only looked for survivors under the exact same media_key as the row just deleted
• Two watch rows for the same episode can legitimately carry different media_keys (e.g. one recorded via a TMDB id, another via an IMDb id only), so that exact-key check missed the surviving row and wrongly propagated an unwatched state to Plex, Emby, Jellyfin, and Trakt
• The check now reuses the same broader same-episode identity match already used to find which rows belong together, so a surviving watch under a different key is correctly detected and the corrected watched state is propagated instead
• Added a regression test reproducing the exact scenario
• Added GET /api/stale-pending-watch-audit and POST /api/stale-pending-watch-repair, generalizing the earlier Trakt play-history incident fix to any watch_history row left with no telemetry or an exhausted retry count from any source, not just the Trakt importer
• The repair only resets retry bookkeeping so the existing scheduler backlog sweep performs a real dispatch and records what actually happened, rather than fabricating a settled telemetry
• Added GET /api/split-identity-unwatch-audit (read-only) to find episodes where a genuine earlier watch is being shadowed by a later unwatched row recorded under a different identity key for the same episode - the aftermath of the deleteWatchDates media_key-split bug pushing a real unplayed mark to media servers, which Plembfin's own unwatched-fallback polls then correctly recorded back in as canonical
• No automatic repair for the split-identity case yet - reverting an unwatch that was genuinely intentional would itself be a phantom watch, so candidates need manual review first
• Documented both tools in docs/scheduled-sync.md alongside the existing Trakt-import repair
• Fixed a real incident: a single Jellyfin burst (a library rescan, metadata refresh, or rate-limited response) falsely unwatched 264+ episodes across dozens of unrelated shows within about seven minutes, propagating the false unwatch on to Plex and Emby before anyone noticed
• applyUnwatchedTransition now tracks a shared, database-backed count of automatic (non-manual) unwatches across Plex, Emby, Jellyfin, and Trakt, and holds back any single one once too many have been recorded in a short window instead of propagating it - this is the one place every automatic unwatch path already funnels through, so it protects all three media servers plus Trakt at once
• Manual actions (marking something unwatched in Plembfin itself, Force Sync, Set Plembfin as Source of Truth, Trakt import) are never affected - only automatic, inbound-from-a-server decisions are rate-limited, and a person can still unwatch as much as they want in one sitting
• Works correctly in a split web/worker deployment since the counter lives in the shared database, not in one process's memory
• Added POST /api/split-identity-unwatch-repair: an explicit admin action that restores episodes already affected by this failure mode (found by the read-only audit added earlier) and re-pushes the corrected watched state to every connected platform
• Documented both the prevention and the repair tool in docs/scheduled-sync.md
• Removing duplicate watches (per-season or library-wide) could wrongly delete a genuinely watched episode and leave it unwatched, if the same episode also had an older, unrelated row that had been explicitly marked unwatched at some earlier point
• The stale unwatched row isn't a countable duplicate watch at all, but duplicate-detection was treating it as one - and since it could sort ahead of the real watch (same or earlier timestamp), it got 'kept' as the supposed oldest copy while the actual watch was deleted as the 'duplicate', wrongly unwatching an item that was never actually duplicated
• Library-wide scan/cleanup and the per-season 'Remove duplicate watches' control both now only ever compare rows that currently read as watched; a later explicit unwatch still shows in the play-history list, it's just never treated as a removable duplicate
• Some episodes affected by the mass false-unwatch incident lost the shadowed watched row entirely rather than just having it shadowed (real cases: The 'Burbs S01E01, Silo S03E02) - every remaining row reads unwatched, so the existing split-identity audit never finds them
• Added GET /api/likely-false-unwatch-audit (read-only): flags an episode where no row currently reads watched but at least one unwatched row came from an automatic source (plex/emby/jellyfin, never manual) with no surviving watched sibling anywhere - the same cascade signature as the split-identity case, just missing its watched half
• Added POST /api/likely-false-unwatch-repair: consolidates every stale row for the episode into one fresh watched record using the oldest row's own date as the best evidence of a genuine watch, then re-pushes it to every connected platform
• This fingerprint is less certain than the split-identity one (an automatic source is also what a genuine unwatch performed directly on a media server looks like), so it stays audit-only until real candidates are reviewed
• Added regression tests for both the audit and the repair
• Removing duplicate watches from a season or the whole library no longer wrongly deletes a watch you meant to keep just because it shares a similar timestamp with the one being removed (e.g. marking an episode watched using the same time as another episode, then cleaning up duplicates) - the episode no longer gets left fully unwatched as a side effect
• Manually marking something watched inside Plembfin (not reported by Plex, Emby, or Jellyfin) now shows a Plembfin badge and logo instead of being mislabeled as a Plex watch
• Deleting a watch date no longer falls back to fully unwatched just because the only row left over happens to carry an old unwatched marker - leaving that row standing (instead of deleting it too) is now treated as confirmation it should count as watched, and it gets pushed out to Plex, Emby, Jellyfin, and Trakt accordingly
• A genuine, more recent deliberate unwatch is never overridden by this - an older row that is still genuinely marked watched always takes priority, so an intentional unwatch is never silently resurrected
• A watch that gets re-dispatched later instead of right when it happened (e.g. the last watch date you leave standing after removing a duplicate) now reaches Trakt with its real recorded date and time, not the current moment - the scheduler's background retry queue was building its outbound payload without that date at all
• Removing or correcting a watch date now records the real outcome of that sync (including which platforms it actually reached) on the affected record, instead of leaving it stuck showing a pending sync forever
• The sidebar sync line is now always visible, reading "Sync - Idle" when nothing is running and "Sync - x of x" while a sync is in flight
• Clicking the sync line opens a new Sync Activity page listing every synced media item in its own row, newest first
• Each row shows where the sync request came from and which apps it was dispatched to, plus each target's result and any failure detail
• Each row has a Download log button that saves that single item's full sync record as a plain-text log
• The Sync Activity page refreshes itself while a sync is running so rows appear as they are dispatched
• Target results are now the app's icon followed by its status instead of pills, coloured by outcome with the failure detail on hover
• Trakt dispatches are named and shown as Trakt with their own icon rather than being labelled Plex, alongside Plex, Emby, Jellyfin, and Plembfin's own manual actions
• The Download log button sits on the same line as the target results
• Clicking a media title opens that title's page, using your library first and the recorded TMDB/TVDB ids otherwise
• Clicking anywhere else on a row expands it to show that item's full log inline, and a background refresh keeps opened rows open
• Mark-unwatched buttons (episode, season, and show) now show "Unwatching..." while removal is in flight instead of the mark-watched "Syncing..." label, and are properly disabled during that time
• Removing a single watch date from the edit-date dialog now marks that specific row as unwatching, so it is not mislabeled if an unrelated sync re-renders the page underneath
• The full search page and the topbar search dropdown now list what is on a connected media server ahead of TMDB/TheTVDB-only matches, instead of relying on incidental result ordering
• Updated docs/media-detail.md and docs/history-search.md to describe the new busy-state tracking and search ordering
• Removed the completed "Unwatching" label and "local results first" backlog items from TODO.md
• Manual unwatch actions (Sync Activity Mark Unwatched, and the Continue Watching clear-progress unwatch) now log their origin as Manual instead of echoing whatever platform the original watch record happened to be sourced from
• Fixes a misleading Sync Activity entry where marking an item unwatched in Plembfin showed "Request came from: Trakt" purely because that item's original watch had legacy provenance pointing at Trakt
• Dispatch behavior is unchanged - this only corrects the recorded origin shown in Sync Activity and the per-record sync telemetry
• Manual watched marks now use the release date when no threshold-reaching playback was detected, while explicit actions can proceed through the interactive sync lane.
• Movies without provider IDs receive TMDB lookup before tracker dispatch.
• Keep queued sync items visible, enrich movie provider IDs, and improve Trakt matching.
• Preserves local watch history rows for TV seasons when upstream providers only index a partial episode list
• Formats season headers to always include the season number alongside any custom season subtitle
• Standardizes rating, network, and app icon dimensions to match the Plex baseline
• Aligns genres across full-width rows when runtime is absent so network and ratings pair cleanly
• Verify administrator username using constant-time comparison to prevent timing-based user enumeration
• Extend TruffleHog secret scanning in CI to run on develop branch pushes and pull requests
• Add automated unit tests for authentication verification edge cases
• Sanitize 500 error responses in HTTP utility to prevent potential stack trace or file path exposure
• Pass console error log arguments separately to prevent tainted format string warnings
• Bump undici to 8.10.0 for upstream stream encoding and socket DNS origin fixes
• Bump GitHub CodeQL action to v4.37.4

v0.9.8

Fix - Stop mark-watched syncs from blocking unrelated watch actions

• groupShowRows now clusters watch_history episode rows by shared provider id (imdb/tmdb/tvdb), the same union-find approach dedupeMovies already uses for films, instead of grouping purely by title
• Fixes shows like a reboot/revival sharing an exact title with an unrelated original (Scrubs 2001 vs Scrubs 2026) silently blending their episode lists, seasons, and counts into one show page - Scrubs (2026) was showing Season 1 as 24 episodes (the 2001 original's count) instead of its real 9
• Fixed the same title-only matching in mergeShowWithLoadedHistory (client-side merge of the dashboard history preview into a show's episode list) and in queryShowDetail's title-lookup fallbacks, which previously grabbed an arbitrary result once shows correctly split apart
• No watch_history rows are changed; this only affects how episodes are grouped into a show for display
• README overhaul: fixed the Docker Compose quick-start to pull the published :latest image instead of requiring a local clone and build, added a Which version should I run? section explaining the :latest/:alpha/:develop channels, and replaced the stale alpha-to-main branch description with the real develop -> alpha -> main model
• Added CHANGELOG.md, generated from changelog.json by scripts/generate-changelog-md.js and regenerated automatically on every release, so release history is readable on GitHub without logging into a running instance
• Updated CLAUDE.md and docs/development.md's branching sections, which still only documented the old two-branch alpha -> main flow despite this session's develop-branch work; renamed the Merge alpha with main command to the two-step Force to alpha / Force to main it actually is now
• Fixed docker-publish-develop.yml reading a version field from changelog.develop.json that no longer exists (removed in the earlier develop build-counter change), which was silently publishing a bogus :undefined tag alongside the real develop images
• A show reached via /tvshow/:key now delegates into the same TMDB/TVDB fetch-and-render pipeline the /tvshow/tmdb/:id and /tvshow/tvdb/:id routes already use, instead of a separate lighter render that never fetched season-level episode metadata - all three routes now show the same seasons, cast, images, and trailers for the same show
• Fixed watched/unwatched/edit-date actions leaving the page stale or blank when viewing a show reached via its TVDB id: five places across watch-action.js and edit-dialogs.js only knew how to refresh a page by local key or TMDB id, never TVDB, so the post-action reload silently failed on that route
• tmdb/tvdb-id links (search results, recommendations, cast filmography, the upcoming calendar, dashboard cards) now include a readable slug after the id - e.g. tmdb/202555-daredevil-born-again - so they're legible in the address bar immediately, even for a title with no watch history yet; the id alone still resolves the route and old links without a slug keep working
• Fixed a show's displayed tmdb_id preferring a cached-but-possibly-wrong id (resolved by an earlier ambiguous title search and never written back onto any watch_history row) over the id already recorded on the show's own rows, which could permanently override correct data once a bad id got cached - affected the show list, show detail page, and the upcoming episodes calendar
• A show whose every episode was marked unwatched became completely unreachable: gone from the TV Shows grid and dashboard, and its own detail page returned Not Found by both title and ID
• Caused a stale-looking detail page after marking a show's last watched episode unwatched - the unwatch succeeded and synced correctly to Plex/Emby/Jellyfin/Trakt, but the page's live in-place refresh failed to re-fetch the now-invisible show and kept showing the old watched state until a manual reload
• Shows now group and display correctly regardless of watched/unwatched state, rendering as "0 of N episodes watched" instead of vanishing; only genuinely untrustworthy library-scan rows are still excluded
• Documented the corrected behavior in docs/tv-shows.md
• Replaced the 20-cell Key Features table (paragraph-length cells, an empty header row causing extra whitespace at the top) with a scannable one-line-per-feature bullet list, linking to docs/architecture.md for depth
• Condensed the densest prose sections (Sync safety, webhook setup, Trakt import/sync, setup guide) to their essential points, moving implementation detail into the existing docs/ pages instead of duplicating it in the README
• Removed the emoji used on every section heading and nav link throughout the file
• Trimmed the file from 512 to under 400 lines while keeping every setup instruction and reference table intact
• Fixed a regression from the earlier fully-unwatched-show visibility fix: unwatching an episode inserts a fresh row timestamped now, and that was being read as the show's most recent watch, bumping it to the top of Watched Newest and inflating its displayed watched-episode count
• Fixed a serious identity bug: a show's TVDB id was being read from any tracked episode row, but Plex/Emby/Jellyfin webhooks tag episodes with their own TVDB id, not the show's - using that id for TVDB series routing could load a completely unrelated show and sync watch state to it. A show's TVDB id is now only trusted once it has actually been resolved as a real series (search result, Fix Match, or a prior correct visit), never from a raw, unverified episode id
• Season and show progress labels now show Removing... while an unwatch is in flight, instead of a stale watched count until the page finishes re-rendering
• Added a regression test covering the TVDB identity fix
• Detail-page Force Sync -> Import Watched Status was silently dropping any episode a server flagged as played but returned no watched timestamp for - common when episodes are bulk-marked watched through a server's own library UI rather than played through
• Those episodes now import using the episode's own release date instead of being skipped, since this action is explicit and scoped to one title (unlike the automatic background sync, which still requires a real watched date to avoid manufacturing phantom watches across an entire library)
• An episode with neither a watched date nor a release date is still skipped rather than given a fabricated date
• Added regression tests for both the fallback and the still-skip case
• A title lookup with no provider id to disambiguate by (queryShowDetail without an id) picked whichever matching cluster was most recently touched, with no regard for how much real history backed it
• One bad Trakt import row resolving an ambiguous title to a completely unrelated show could outrank dozens of correctly identified episodes just by being newer, sending the whole show's page, Force Sync, and Fix Match to the wrong identity
• Title lookups now prefer the substantially larger, established cluster over a much smaller one even when the smaller one is more recent; comparably-sized clusters still resolve by recency as before
• Added a regression test and documented the tie-break in docs/tv-shows.md
• After using Fix Match to repair a show's identity, the detail page briefly rendered 0 watched episodes even though the underlying data was already correct - the client's lookup for the show's cached full episode list only matched by tmdb_id or an exact title-slug match, both of which can miss right after a rematch (tmdb_id is cleared and re-backfilled in the background; the display title can legitimately drop a trailing year the provider's own name still carries)
• The lookup now also matches by tvdb_id when the provider supplied one, so a repaired show renders its real watched state immediately instead of falling back to an empty placeholder
• Documented the matching order in docs/tv-shows.md
• Force Sync -> Import Watched Status decided whether to insert a watched record by checking findWatchedByAnyMediaKey (does any watched row exist anywhere in history), not the episode's actual current state
• A later unwatch always wins the display's dedup tie-break by recency, so an old watched row can sit dormant on file while the show still displays and counts as unwatched - the old check treated that dormant row as proof there was nothing to do and silently skipped it
• Now checks the actual canonical pointer (getCanonicalWatchState) instead, so a source confirming an episode is still watched inserts a fresh record and genuinely restores the correct watched state
• Added a regression test documenting the exact gap between the two checks
• Documented the fix in docs/media-detail.md
• getCanonicalWatchState matches by provider id/media_key, but an incoming Plex/Emby/Jellyfin item's ids are episode-scoped (its own imdb/tvdb id, not the show's) and often don't match the playstate row's identity - the lookup fell through to the same any-watched-row check the previous fix was meant to replace, still finding a dormant old watched row and wrongly reporting nothing to do
• A show-scoped pull now builds a season+episode -> sync_action map once from the show's own current detail and checks that first - the exact data the display itself groups from, so it can't disagree with what the page renders
• Verified against live production logs: outbound dispatch to Plex/Emby/Jellyfin was already succeeding for every episode, confirming the sync engine and webhook echo protection were healthy - only the local re-import decision was wrong
• remoteItemToMedia only fell back to the show's requested tmdb/tvdb ids when the source item provided none at all - but Plex/Emby/Jellyfin always tag an episode with its own tmdb/tvdb id (both providers assign episodes ids separate from their series), so that fallback never triggered
• Every episode Import Watched Status inserted was tagged with its own episode-level identity instead of the show's, fragmenting it into its own show cluster and reproducing the exact display bug the previous two fixes were meant to resolve
• An episode's tmdb_id/tvdb_id now always come from the show actually being pulled; imdb_id still comes from the item, since it is meaningfully episode-scoped and does not affect show grouping
• Verified live: confirmed via production logs and direct API checks that this is what was actually happening, then added a regression test
• queryShowDetail and rematchShowWatchRecords (Fix Match) both did an exact show_title_lower match first, only falling back to a broader canonical scan when that found zero rows - never when it found an incomplete subset
• The same real show's episode rows can carry different exact show_title text over time (a media server's own title is rarely year-suffixed even when Plembfin's preferred display title is), so an exact match silently saw only one variant and missed the rest of the show's episodes - or resolved a different variant to an unrelated show sharing that exact text
• This is what was actually blocking School Spirits Season 3 after every earlier fix: a Fix Match run only repaired the rows matching its anchor's exact title text, leaving Season 3's rows on their old identity untouched
• Both functions now always scan by the same normalized canonical key (title with any trailing year stripped) that episodes are grouped by everywhere else, so a lookup or repair can no longer see only part of a show
• Added a regression test with episodes split across a year-suffixed and non-year-suffixed title for the same show
• Fixed a stuck 6/6 Available badge on shows opened via a tmdb/tvdb detail link: the Seerr background-refresh repaint only checked the plain /tvshow/:key slug, which those routes never set, so a completed correct fetch never re-rendered the page
• Availability pills now show the actual resolution found on the connected server instead of a hardcoded 1080p; a TV season only claims a resolution when every available episode in it shares one, otherwise it drops the claim rather than guessing
• Movies now get a real resolution reading too, pulled the same way TV episodes get theirs
• Fixed the Edit Watch Date dialog under-reporting an episode's play count when its watch rows had differently formatted show titles (missing a trailing year on one row but not another), the same normalization bug already fixed for show lookups and Fix Match
• Added a regression test covering the watch-date dialog fix
• Live-verified the earlier show-title normalization fix on Trying S05E07 and found the dialog still under-counted: a real play whose sync_action was later flipped to unwatched (e.g. an explicit unwatch from a connected server) has a watched_at but no longer looks like a watched row, so it was silently excluded from the list even though the episode card's own N actual watches badge already counted it
• siblingWatchRowsFor() now trusts a sibling row the same way the show page's own history grouping does, instead of requiring its current action to be watched
• Added a regression test covering an episode with one watched play and one later-unwatched play
• Fix TV show detail page to correctly merge episode-level watch history records
• Scope show grouping union-find to show-level provider IDs so episode-level IDs do not partition series episodes
• Update documentation for show grouping and client-side history merging
• Prevent show modal DOM wipe on in-place re-renders and live updates
• Ensure all episode rows belonging to a series are merged into the main show record
• Use majority provider ID frequency across episode records to prevent stray row hijacking
• Fix Remove Duplicate TV Watches scan in Settings to accurately identify episodes with multiple recorded watch dates
• Normalize media type aliases like TV and show in duplicate watch scan and cleanup endpoints
• Keep the oldest watch date and remove subsequent duplicate plays during library-wide cleanup
• Marking an episode, season, show, or movie watched/unwatched no longer disables mark watched/unwatched buttons for unrelated episodes, seasons, shows, or movies while its sync to Plex/Emby/Jellyfin/Trakt is still running
• A large season or show sync only blocks further actions on the same episodes it's syncing, not the whole app - you can mark a different show or movie watched right away instead of waiting
• Show-wide controls (mark/resync the whole show, edit show date, edit images, fix match, merge) still wait for every in-flight action on that show to finish, since they would otherwise re-push episodes still mid-sync
• Documented the new scoped syncing behavior in docs/media-detail.md

v0.9.7

Fix - Scroll expanded seasons into view below the sticky topbar

• develop's displayed version no longer derives from alpha's or main's current version (${mainVersion}.${alphaBuild}.${developBuild}) - it is now a plain incrementing build counter shown as "Develop Build N"
• Fixes the sidebar/Settings-About version looking lower than its parent branch right after a promotion to alpha or main, since the borrowed version string only self-healed on develop's own next push and had no way to update itself when a promotion happened elsewhere
• The build counter never resets on a promotion (only the entry list is cleared), so it can never appear to regress relative to a branch it was promoted from
• Updated the pending-build comparison, changelog rendering, and the (previously unwired) promotion scripts to match; added test coverage for the new comparison logic
• promoteDevelopToAlpha() now zeroes develop's build counter (not just its entry list) when develop is promoted to alpha, so the next develop push after a promotion starts back at build 1
• This reset is safe because it happens as a deliberate, explicit step of the promotion itself, not an inferred comparison against a version string that could be stale - the same safe shape as alpha's own reset-on-promotion-to-main
• Documented the distinction in update-develop-changelog.js and docs/architecture.md
• Clicking a season header to expand it now scrolls that season into view, instead of leaving the newly-revealed episode list to open off-screen below where you clicked
• Collapsing a season still preserves the scroll position as before, so the page doesn't jump now that the content above has shrunk
• The season-scroll fix from the previous commit used scrollIntoView's default alignment, which puts the season header flush with the very top of the viewport - directly underneath the sticky page topbar, hiding it
• Now offsets the scroll target by the topbar's real rendered height so the expanded season lands visible just below it instead of overshooting and disappearing behind it
• Clicking a season header to expand it, or loading a URL that names a season directly, now scrolls that season into view instead of leaving it open off-screen below the click or hidden at the very top of the page
• Fixed the actual scroll target: this app's shell keeps window/document fixed and scrolls .page-shell internally, so the first attempt (window.scrollTo) silently did nothing - now walks up to whichever ancestor actually has the overflow
• Reserves space for the sticky topbar via scroll-margin-top so the season header lands visible just below it instead of hidden underneath
• Replaced the browser's native (non-configurable, abrupt) smooth scroll with a hand-rolled eased animation
• A season named in the URL scrolls into view once on that navigation, not on every later re-render of the same modal (e.g. toggling an episode watched)

v0.9.6

Fix - Stop same-event webhook echoes inflating play counts

• Suppress background dashboard and watch history reloads while any sync operation (Force Sync, Cron Sync, Full Sync, or background dispatch) is actively running
• Settle and refresh the dashboard cleanly once when the sync completes, stops, or fails
• Wire active sync progress checks into live history refresh throttling to avoid flickering and card reloading during large syncs
• Dashboard no longer refreshes repeatedly while a background sync is in progress after marking something watched in Plex
• Fixed a bug where the sync reconciliation pass treated a missing local watch record as an explicit "unwatched" decision, causing it to push real "mark unplayed" calls to Plex/Emby/Jellyfin for items that were genuinely watched but had no matching Plembfin history row (e.g. after phantom-watch repair deleted the row)
• The reconciliation pass now only treats an item as canonical-unwatched when Plembfin holds an explicit unwatched record; if there is no record at all, it leaves the media server's watched state alone instead of guessing
• Phantom-watch burst detection no longer flags a normal multi-hour, multi-show viewing session as an import-echo flood: cross-show bursts must now fit within a 10-minute span, not just have no single gap over 3 minutes
• Phantom-watch burst repair now skips any watch row that every other configured media server has already independently confirmed as synced, so a real, cross-verified watch is never deleted just because its timing happens to match a suspicious pattern
• Applied the same no-history-is-not-unwatched fix to the modern scoped Force Sync planner, which previously could still push a false mark-unplayed to Plex/Emby/Jellyfin for an item with no Plembfin history row
• Added updatedAfter/updatedBefore Force Sync scope filters, so a repair can be limited to items Plembfin touched in a specific time window rather than filtering by original watch date
• The backlog sync-retry queue now only re-sends mark-played to the specific targets still missing confirmation instead of all three every time, clearing large backlogs faster with less redundant traffic
• Fixed a playstate/watch_history drift: deleting a single history row (e.g. via the History page's delete button) now also cleans up the matching playstate row, so Plembfin's own watched indicator can no longer disagree with its own history after a record is removed
• Fixed the outbound-mark echo detector comparing raw title strings, which meant a source that formats an episode as "Show (2025) - S01E02" and another that reports it as "Show - S01E02" (only one carrying the year suffix) never shared a cache key
• Because of that mismatch, a media server's own echo of an outbound mark Plembfin just sent was not recognized as an echo, was treated as a brand-new watch, and created a duplicate watch_history row for an episode already recorded from another source
• The echo-loop cache key now uses the same canonicalized show/movie title matching already trusted elsewhere in the app for this exact year-suffix mismatch, instead of the raw, unnormalized title string
• Exported the existing canonicalShowTitleKey/showTitleFrom helpers from dataRepo.js for reuse in syncOrchestrator.js rather than duplicating the normalization logic
• Fixed replaceTrackerSnapshot failing with a UNIQUE constraint error whenever the combined Trakt snapshot list contained more than one entry for the same media_key (e.g. a rewatch Trakt reports as a separate play), which crashed the whole snapshot replace and made the Trakt watched-state poll fail on every subsequent tick
• The combined snapshot list is now deduplicated by media_key, keeping the most recently reported watched_at, before being written to tracker_item_state
• Fixed the per-minute scheduled-sync tick timing out at 50 seconds during a large outstanding backlog, even though the underlying work (unwatched-state checks, recently-watched/resumable polling across all three platforms, and manual-dispatch retries) was still succeeding in the background
• Promise.race does not cancel the underlying task on timeout, so the tight budget did not stop progress, it only produced a recurring false timeout error and delayed when that progress became visible through cache invalidation
• Raised the budget from 50 to 120 seconds; the existing scheduledTasksInFlight guard already prevents two runs from overlapping, so this is safe even if a pass occasionally runs past one tick
• Fixed rowToWatch never including updated_at (or created_at) on the objects returned by getCachedHistory(), which is what Force Sync's scoped plan reads
• The updatedAfter/updatedBefore scope filter added earlier today compared row.updated_at against the requested window, but that field was always undefined coming through this path, so every row was silently excluded and the scoped plan always reported zero actions regardless of real activity
• Added created_at and updated_at to rowToWatch's output so the scope filter can actually see them
• Fixed importTraktPlayHistory only checking for an existing local watch via an exact (media_key, watched_at) match, which misses an already-recorded episode whenever the Trakt entry's own media key differs from how the existing record was stored (e.g. a manual watch keyed by tmdb vs a Trakt entry keyed by imdb for the same episode)
• This became active once the earlier tracker-snapshot crash fix let the import step actually run again, and it was inserting a second watch_history row - dated whenever Trakt reported the play, often today - for episodes already recorded under a different key
• The import now also checks getCanonicalWatchState, the same coordinate/provider-id fallback matching every other ingest path in the app already relies on, before deciding an episode is new; a canonical "watched" answer skips the insert instead of creating a duplicate
• Cleaned up 31 duplicate rows this surfaced across multiple shows via the existing Dedup History tool
• Audited every code path that can insert a new watch_history row and found several still relying on an exact media_key match (or playstate alone) to decide whether an item is already watched, instead of the broader coordinate/provider-id fallback matching used elsewhere - this is the exact mismatch behind today's Silo, Trying, Lioness, and Cape Fear phantom watches
• Hardened the Plex real-time notification handler, the main webhook handler, the per-episode bulk webhook mark path, the shared watched-transition helper (used by Trakt polling and other manual/webhook paths), and the live-session tracker to all consistently check findWatchedByAnyMediaKey before logging a new watch
• A hit under a different key now repairs the local playstate pointer instead of inserting a duplicate row, closing this class of bug at every remaining ingest path rather than one incident at a time
• Stats page now collapses duplicate rows created when a media server fires its played webhook multiple times for one viewing, matching the logic already used by the movie list and Dedup History tool
• Fixes titles showing an inflated most-watched count (e.g. a movie showing 3 plays for a single viewing) even though the dedup tool correctly reports nothing to clean up
• No watch_history rows are changed; this only affects how Stats counts them

• Fix: Stop mark-watched from ever creating a duplicate on an already-watched item

v0.8.6

Fix - Stop a stale historyId from swapping in the wrong show's page

• Trakt's /sync/history and /sync/history/remove both return 200 OK with a body summarizing what actually matched (added/deleted counts, not_found lists) even when nothing did - dispatchTrakt never read that body, so a canonical replay's clear-existing-plays step could silently fail to match anything on Trakt's side while telemetry still reported a clean success
• Reproduced live: re-ran Force Sync's Set Plembfin as Source of Truth for G'wed and every episode logged Trakt success, but all 8 previously-duplicated episodes were still sitting under their old date on trakt.tv afterward
• dispatchTrakt now inspects the response: a non-empty not_found on the add step is reported as an error instead of a false success, and a canonical replay's clear step reports how many plays it actually deleted and how many it could not recognize
• This makes the failure visible in telemetry going forward rather than fixing it silently - the underlying reason Trakt doesn't recognize these specific episodes for removal still needs the not_found detail from a real run to diagnose
• Trakt sync for episodes no longer replaces an episode's own stored provider ids with a TMDB title-search result; existing ids now always win, and the lookup is skipped entirely once an episode already has one
• Root cause of persistent duplicate/stuck Trakt entries for shows with short or ambiguous titles (e.g. G'wed): TMDB's search resolved to the wrong series, and that wrong id silently replaced the correct one on every dispatch, making Trakt unable to match the item to clear or add plays
• Trakt dispatch now reports a real error (with the not_found detail) instead of a false success when Trakt cannot recognize the item
• Settings -> Tools -> Database Repairs now has a Remove Duplicate Watches tool with separate confirmed actions for TV shows and movies
• Scans the whole library, keeps only the oldest watch date for each episode or movie, and shows the exact number of duplicate watches and affected items before asking for confirmation - the deletion cannot be undone once approved
• Removed watches are pushed out as corrected canonical state to every connected platform (Plex, Emby, Jellyfin, Trakt), the same propagation already used by the per-season duplicate cleanup and manual watch-date edits
• New GET /api/duplicate-watch-scan and POST /api/duplicate-watch-cleanup endpoints, both admin-only
• Marking a season or whole show watched at once no longer stamps every episode with the identical watched_at; each episode is now staggered one second apart in episode order so they sort correctly instead of tying
• Added a new watched-date choice, Same as other episodes, shown whenever an episode in the same season (or show) already has a recorded watch date - it reuses that episode's date/time as the base for the rest, with the same ordering applied on top
• Fixed a real incident: a burst of Trakt API calls (from marking a season watched) caused Trakt's watched-progress response to come back rate-limited and incomplete, and the live Trakt sync trusted the shorter list as a genuine unwatch - cascading unwatched state to Plex, Emby, Jellyfin, and Plembfin's own history across three seasons of a show
• Live Trakt sync now holds back any unwatch where a large share of one show's episodes disappear at once instead of propagating immediately; it re-checks on the next poll and only propagates once the same episodes are still missing a second time, so a genuine unwatch still goes through with a one-minute delay while a transient bad response self-heals with no changes sent anywhere
• A normal unwatch of a couple of episodes is unaffected and still propagates the same minute as before
• Marking a season or show watched at once (and bulk unwatch) now dispatches to Plex/Emby/Jellyfin/Trakt with bounded concurrency instead of one item at a time, so large batches finish noticeably faster without increasing load on any single server (outbound requests are still throttled per-host)
• Fixed a real incident: marking The 'Burbs S01E05 watched appeared to succeed, then silently reverted seconds later - Trakt's API hadn't caught up to the write yet, so the next poll saw the episode as missing and treated it as a genuine remote unwatch, deleting the watch it had just created and re-propagating the unwatch to Plex, Emby, and Jellyfin
• Live Trakt sync now protects a single item just marked watched the same way it already protects large batches: a poll landing within 30 minutes of that push can no longer read a lagging snapshot as a real unwatch
• The sidebar Syncing N of M indicator now shows the true batch total immediately for a Trakt reconcile or bulk mark-watched/unwatched, instead of climbing one item at a time as workers pick up new items over the life of the batch
• Fixed a real incident: marking The 'Burbs S01E05 watched via Same as other episodes kept reporting success and syncing to Plex, Emby, Jellyfin, and Trakt, but the watched state never actually saved and reverted on reload
• Root cause: an earlier unwatch had left a non-watched bookkeeping row at the exact same media identity and timestamp the mark-watched request targeted; the duplicate check only looked at whether a row existed there at all, not whether it was actually marked watched, so it silently skipped writing the new watched state while still dispatching outbound sync as if it had
• Manual mark-watched and marking watched from Part Watched now replace that kind of stale row with the real watched record instead of mistaking it for an existing watch
• Removed a large empty gap that showed in the Force Sync dialog before starting an operation - the dialog now sizes to its content and only grows once the live log is actually showing
• Fixed the live sync log growing past the bottom of the dialog during a run; it now fills the remaining space and scrolls on its own instead of pushing the whole dialog past its own edge
• Added season checkboxes to the Force Sync dialog for TV shows - leave them unchecked to run across the whole show as before, or pick specific seasons to limit Set Plembfin as Source of Truth or Import Watched Status to just those
• Fixed a real bug: clicking a global search result for a TV show could open a completely different show's page instead - the URL still showed the show you clicked, but the title, poster, and episodes shown were whatever show had been open right before
• Root cause: navigating to a show via a link that doesn't carry its own historyId (search results, unlike library cards) inherited the previous show's leftover historyId from app state, and the page then mistakenly treated that mismatched record as evidence the requested show couldn't be identified, substituting the unrelated show's single record in its place
• The router now only carries a historyId forward when re-rendering the show already open, never into a navigation to a different show
• A history record that names a real, different show is now treated as a stale reference and ignored, rather than swapped in as if the requested show were unidentifiable

v0.8.5

Fix - Track sync progress at the shared dispatch functions, not just the retry queue

• Added a bridge/hub framing to the README intro: Plex, Emby, Jellyfin, Trakt, Seerr, and the metadata providers never talk to each other directly, only through Plembfin
• Added a new section with a diagram showing Plembfin as the central node and its local SQLite store as the canonical memory
• No behavior changes; documentation only
• Trimmed the intro and hub diagram to a single simple flowchart with icon-led bullets instead of dense paragraphs
• Replaced the plain-text hub diagram with the actual Plex, Emby, and Jellyfin logos plus brand-colored badges for Trakt, TMDB, TheTVDB, Fanart.tv, OMDb, and Overseerr/Jellyseerr
• Removed the dark circle backdrops behind every node in the hub diagram
• Added real TheTVDB and Overseerr/Jellyseerr logos (sourced from the walkxcode/dashboard-icons project) in place of placeholder monogram circles
• Re-trimmed every connector line so arrowheads land visibly at each icon's edge instead of hiding under a circle
• Fanart.tv and OMDb have no available vector logo, so they render as plain colored text instead of a fake or placeholder icon
• Removing a watch date (single row or the season bulk cleanup) now also removes any webhook-echoed duplicate row chained to it within the same 10-minute event window, instead of deleting only the row you clicked
• Fixes manual watch history removal working inconsistently: items with an echoed duplicate row would have the deleted watch date silently reappear as a new entry the next time the list was rebuilt
• Added regression tests covering echo-chain deletion and confirming genuine rewatches outside the event window are left untouched
• Documented the echo-chain handling for both the single-row and season bulk delete paths in docs/media-detail.md
• Removing a watch date from the single-item Edit Watch Date dialog now clears the cached dashboard/explorer history and forces a refetch, instead of only patching the deleted row's watched_at in memory
• Fixes the dashboard showing a stale rewatch count (e.g. still '4 actual watches' after a delete) until some unrelated reload happened to refresh it
• Brings the single-row delete path in line with the season bulk 'Remove duplicate watches' cleanup and 'Mark unwatched', which already refresh history after deleting
• Documented the cache refresh in docs/media-detail.md
• The forced dashboard history refresh (used right after deleting a watch date, marking watched/unwatched, etc) fetched with cache: no-store, which bypasses the browser's HTTP cache on read but never updates it either
• Every dashboard-view entry runs a second, unforced history fetch right after (cache: default, reusing the endpoint's 30s max-age), which could still return the original pre-edit response left over from the page's first load and silently overwrite the just-refreshed data
• Reproduced live: deleting watch dates on a movie correctly updated the backend and the detail page immediately, but the dashboard card briefly reverted to the pre-edit watch count and date after navigating back to it
• Switched the forced fetch to cache: reload, which still forces a real network round trip but also refreshes the HTTP cache entry, so the follow-up unforced fetch no longer serves stale data
• Deleting a watch date (single row, or the season 'Remove duplicate watches' bulk cleanup) now replays the resulting canonical state to every connected Plex/Emby/Jellyfin/Trakt server - the rolled-back date if a watch remains, or unwatched if that was the last one
• Reuses the same loop-safe canonical replay (syncCanonicalPlaystate) that editing a watch date and Force Sync's 'Set Plembfin as Source of Truth' already use, so a corrected server does not turn around and echo the old state back in as a new phantom watch
• Previously a deleted watch date only removed the local Plembfin row; any platform it had already been dispatched to as watched kept believing that, and its own next catch-up scan could reintroduce it as a brand-new watch
• deleteWatchDate/deleteWatchDates now report the surviving and deleted rows so the route layer can decide which state to replay; added regression tests for the new return values
• The scheduled Plex/Emby/Jellyfin catch-up sync's 'already watched?' check failed to recognize a movie it already had a record for when the title differed only by whitespace variant (Trakt imports often carry a non-breaking space after a colon where media servers report a plain space), so the same movie could get imported a second time under a title-only identity instead of being recognized as already watched
• findWatchedByAnyMediaKey now falls back to the same whitespace-normalizing canonicalTitleKey comparison already trusted elsewhere in the app to merge these rows for display, so this can no longer create a duplicate watch for any movie going forward
• Fix Match (PATCH /api/update-watch) previously updated a row's provider ids without ever recomputing its media_key, so a correction left the row permanently split from any other watch of the same item under its old identity; it now accepts imdb_id as well as tmdb_id/tvdb_id, recomputes media_key when identity changes, and merges playstate on both the old and new key
• Documented both fixes in docs/scheduled-sync.md and docs/media-detail.md; added regression tests for the media_key migration and playstate merge
• The sidebar now shows a live "Syncing N of M" indicator above the version number whenever the scheduler's pending-dispatch queue is working through a backlog, and hides once it drains
• The pending-dispatch queue (syncPendingManualDispatches) now reports its backlog size and progress to runtime_state each tick; the existing live-updates SSE stream polls it once a second and pushes sync-progress events to the browser, so the indicator updates in real time without polling from the client
• Dashboard watch-history cards now show a separate "Watched Twice" (or "Watched N Times") line instead of appending "· N actual watches" onto the Last Played date
• Documented both in docs/dashboard.md and docs/scheduled-sync.md
• The sidebar's sync-progress indicator only tracked the scheduler's per-minute pending-dispatch queue, so it stayed hidden for anything that dispatches immediately instead - a bulk duplicate-watch cleanup, a single manual watch/unwatch, a webhook-triggered propagation - which is most of what actually generates background sync activity
• Moved the tracking into syncMediaPlaystate and syncMediaUnplayedPlaystate in syncOrchestrator.js, the shared functions every dispatch path funnels through, so the indicator now covers all of them without depending on knowing every call site
• A dispatch burst opens on the first call after being idle and closes 2 seconds after the last one in it finishes, so a handful of near-simultaneous fire-and-forget calls (one per affected episode from a season cleanup, for example) share one window instead of flickering
• Removed the now-redundant tracking that lived directly in the retry queue, since it already goes through the same shared functions

v0.8.4

Fix - Prevent phantom local watches from echoed Trakt play-history imports

• Edit Season Date now shows a Remove Duplicate Watches option when any episode in the season has more than one recorded watch, keeping only the oldest date per episode and deleting the rest in a single confirmed action instead of removing them one at a time
• New POST /api/delete-watch-dates endpoint bulk-deletes watch records and rolls each affected show/episode's canonical watched state back to whichever watch survives, in one request instead of one per row
• The show-level Edit Date control (top action bar) now shows one row per season instead of forcing the whole show onto a single date/time - each season defaults to its own latest watched date and can be changed independently before saving
• Settings -> Changelog now lists the actual changes in a newer, not-yet-pulled alpha build under a new "Not pulled yet" section, instead of only saying a newer build exists and requiring an update first to see what changed
• The backend was already fetching the newer build's changelog data to detect an update, but discarded the entry list and kept only the build number; it now reads GitHub's copy of the changelog directly, since a build that hasn't been pulled yet can never appear in the locally-installed copy
• Extracted the comparison logic into a pure, unit-tested function
• Marking an episode or movie watched with a specific date (e.g. release date) via the Mark Watched action reached Trakt stamped as watched right now instead of the date chosen in Plembfin, because the media object built for outbound dispatch never carried a watched_at field
• Plex, Emby, and Jellyfin were never affected since their mark-played APIs don't accept a historical date at all; the Edit Date correction path was also unaffected since it built its dispatch payload differently
• Added regression tests covering both the dispatch payload and Trakt's client sending the supplied date verbatim
• Trakt play-history import now recognizes a play that arrives shortly after Plembfin's own outbound watched push as an echo of that push, not a new play, and skips creating a duplicate local watch for it
• Fixes a defense-in-depth gap: the echo check reads outbound state captured before the snapshot rewrite that runs earlier in the same poll, so a just-pushed item that hasn't shown up in Trakt's watched snapshot yet no longer loses its echo marker
• Documented the new guard in docs/scheduled-sync.md

v0.8.3

Performance - Process Force Sync episodes concurrently; UI polish on watch-date and danger buttons

• Trakt's live sync now imports every play from a connected account's watch history, not just the most recent one, so rewatches show up individually in History and Stats instead of being collapsed into a single watched record
• The first poll after connecting backfills the full Trakt play history; later polls only fetch plays since the last import, tracked per Trakt history id so nothing is imported twice
• Backfilled rewatches update Plembfin's local history and refresh the last-watched timestamp shown elsewhere in the app, without re-sending duplicate mark-watched calls to connected Plex/Emby/Jellyfin servers
• Pushing local watches to Trakt already sent each play individually and is unchanged
• Documented the new behavior in docs/scheduled-sync.md, docs/sqlite-schema.md, and the README's Trakt sections
• The Trakt play-history import added earlier today did not mark its backfilled watch records as already synced, so the scheduler's manual-dispatch retry sweep treated them as pending work and re-sent them to every connected service, including pushing them back out to Trakt
• Each outbound push created a brand new Trakt history entry, which the next poll then re-imported as a fresh play and pushed again, looping every minute for the whole Trakt history and flooding the account's watch history page
• Backfilled plays are now stored with telemetry marking them fully settled, so the retry sweep skips them and they are never re-propagated to Plex, Emby, Jellyfin, or Trakt
• Broadened the outbound Trakt echo guard to skip any Trakt-sourced record (live sync or import), not just an exact source match, closing the same gap for the existing CSV/JSON Trakt import feature too
• Removes the detail-page and library-wide Force Sync "Full Sync" option, which silently reconciled server state with Plembfin and could insert duplicate, today-dated watch records when a show's metadata was rematched on a media server
• Renames "Push To" to "Set Plembfin as Source of Truth" and "Pull From" to "Import Watched Status", with descriptions that state plainly what each one does and does not do (Push overwrites destinations without checking them first; Import only adds, never sends anything out or removes anything)
• Fixes episode watch/playstate lookups to recognize an episode as already recorded even after a media-server metadata rematch changes its provider ids or its show title gains or loses a trailing year (e.g. "Ludwig" vs "Ludwig (2024)"), preventing duplicate watch history entries in that situation
• Adds a one-time repair (GET /api/stale-trakt-import-audit, POST /api/stale-trakt-import-repair) for watch records left behind by the Trakt rewatch-import incident, which were still being repeatedly re-sent to Plex, Emby, Jellyfin, and Trakt by the retry queue
• Set Plembfin as Source of Truth and Import Watched Status now process several episodes at once instead of one at a time, so shows with many seasons sync significantly faster; both operations still confirm before starting and support cancellation mid-run
• Outbound calls to Plex, Emby, and Jellyfin remain safely throttled per server regardless of how many episodes are in flight, since the existing outbound governor limits concurrency per host independently of this change
• Removing a watch date now shows "Removing..." while the request is in flight instead of the row silently freezing with no feedback
• The remove-watch-date button and all danger-styled buttons (including Force Sync's Cancel operation) now use the site's standard rounded corners instead of a mix of a full circle and no rounding at all

v0.8.2

Fix - Stop CI plumbing commits from polluting release changelog entries

• The main and alpha changelog generators no longer pull bullet points from the bot's own chore: bump alpha build for / chore: update changelog for commits, or from Merge branch/commit/pull request commits - these carry no user-visible content and were showing up as literal bullets in published release notes
• When the commit that triggers a changelog entry is itself one of those plumbing commits (routine for a Merge alpha with main force-push, since GitHub reports the pushed range's last commit as the trigger), the entry's headline now falls back to the most recent real commit instead of showing a meaningless title like "Chore - Bump alpha build for <sha>"
• Manually corrected the already-published 0.8.1 changelog entry, which combined a full day's worth of iterative alpha commits (including several that were later throttled, disabled, and re-enabled again) into a single overwhelming and self-contradicting list; consolidated it down to the net, final user-facing changes
• Added test coverage for the new noise-detection helper

v0.8.1

Fix - Re-enable Emby/Jellyfin unwatched-reconciliation polling by default

• Fixed the real-time Plex notification listener silently ignoring "Mark Unwatched" changes when Plex left a stale resume position behind instead of clearing it, which previously left Emby and Jellyfin showing the item as partially watched indefinitely
• Force Sync no longer records a fake "just watched" date for a title whose played flag has no reliable timestamp on Plex, Emby, or Jellyfin - it is skipped instead of imported with a fabricated date
• Unwatching a title now clears its resume/continue-watching position on every connected server, not just the played flag, so a title doesn't keep showing as partially watched after being unwatched
• Editing, adding, or bulk-editing a watched date on a media detail page now pushes the corrected date to Trakt and every connected Plex/Emby/Jellyfin server in the background
• Trakt watched-date corrections no longer create a duplicate history entry every time they run - a correction now replaces the existing entry instead of stacking a new one alongside it
• Emby and Jellyfin now have the same unwatch-reconciliation safety net Plex already had, catching a missed or misconfigured webhook; it checks a small batch sequentially every 5 minutes per platform so it can't compete with the scheduler for time
• Fixed the Settings -> Logs page showing identical content on every category tab
• Fixed a performance bug where rebuilding the TV show cache could block the server for over a second in one unbroken burst under load, severe enough to fail health checks and trigger repeated restarts - the rebuild now yields periodically instead
• Capped the Plex real-time notification listener at 3 concurrent handlers so a burst of notifications (e.g. right as it reconnects) can't spike memory by running hundreds of handlers at once
• Alpha builds now show their own version number (e.g. v0.8.0.7 alpha) in the sidebar and Settings -> About, with a real "Update available" indicator when a newer alpha build is published, and their own build history section separate from tagged releases
• The published alpha Docker image is now also tagged with its specific build number (alpha-<N>), alongside the existing rolling alpha tag
• Fixed a changelog-generator bug that could scramble a merged multi-commit release's notes into unreadable text

v0.8.0

Fix - Sync the pre-push hook by merge, not rebase

• Every push to the alpha branch now builds, verifies, and publishes ghcr.io/lasikiewicz/plembfin:alpha, so a pre-release image is always available to pull without waiting for a main release
• The alpha image goes through the same better-sqlite3/sharp native-module check as the main release image before it is pushed
• docker-build-check.yml goes back to pull-request-only verification, since alpha pushes now get the equivalent check as part of publishing
• Documented the new :alpha image in CLAUDE.md, docs/development.md, and the README
• The alpha image publish step used github.repository directly for the image name, which preserves the account's original casing (Lasikiewicz/plembfin) and GHCR rejected as an invalid tag; it now goes through docker/metadata-action like the main release pipeline does, which lowercases the ref before building
• The sidebar version badge and Settings -> About now show "alpha" next to the version number when running the ghcr.io/lasikiewicz/plembfin:alpha image, so a pre-release build is visually distinct from a tagged release
• The alpha image now bakes in a BUILD_CHANNEL=alpha flag at build time; the main/latest release image is unaffected and shows the plain version number as before
• Update-available checks and changelog entry matching still compare the underlying plain version number, so the alpha label is purely cosmetic
• The sidebar badge and Settings -> About no longer show "Update available" on the alpha channel; alpha's version number only advances when it is merged into a release, so it always trails main's latest version right after a merge even when the running alpha build already contains newer commits
• Settings -> About now shows a neutral "Alpha channel" banner instead, noting how many releases have landed on main since this build for context
• chore: bump version to 0.8.0
• Merge remote-tracking branch 'origin/main' into alpha
• The pre-push hook always synced against a remote branch matching the currently checked-out branch name, regardless of the actual push target
• A force-push like alpha:main (used by the Merge alpha with main command) triggered a rebase of local alpha against origin/alpha instead of the real target, and since alpha's history contains a genuine merge commit, git silently flattened it and replayed its commits individually, conflicting with content the merge had already resolved
• The hook now only auto-syncs when the local and remote branch names in the push actually match, so a deliberately reconciled cross-ref push goes through untouched
• The previous fix stopped the hook from rebasing against the wrong branch on a cross-ref push, but git rebase still flattens merge commits regardless of which branch it targets: it walks full ancestry rather than just the first-parent chain, so it silently drops merge commits and replays both sides' commits individually
• The hook's same-name sync now runs git pull --no-rebase, which is a no-op when upstream is already an ancestor and a plain merge commit otherwise, matching the merge-based reconciliation CLAUDE.md already documents
• Updated CLAUDE.md, docs/architecture.md, and docs/development.md to describe the merge-based sync

v0.7.11

Chore - Switch to an alpha/main branching model for pushes and releases

• Day-to-day pushes now land on a new alpha branch instead of main; alpha gets the same secret-scan, security, and Docker build-check coverage main gets, so problems surface immediately without publishing a release
• main only moves through an explicit merge-alpha-with-main step, which force-pushes alpha onto main and lets CI combine every queued commit's changelog bullets into one release entry
• Updated the pre-push hook to sync against whichever branch is being pushed instead of always rebasing onto main
• Documented the new branching model and both agent commands in CLAUDE.md, docs/development.md, and the README

v0.7.10

Fix - Remove flaky credential vault tampering test

• Items pushed to Trakt now record the real play date and time instead of the moment the sync request was sent, so Trakt history reflects when something was actually watched
• The tampering test always overwrote the last ciphertext character with a fixed value, so it silently passed without proving tampering on the rare run where the random ciphertext already ended in that character. It now guarantees the substitution changes the byte, so the check reliably catches tampering on every run.

v0.7.9

Feature - Add season- and show-level mark unwatched

• Added a season-level "Mark season unwatched" button and a show-level "Mark Unwatched" button on TV show detail pages, alongside the existing episode-level control
• Both bulk-clear every watched episode in that scope and push the unplayed state to Plex, Emby, and Jellyfin the same way the existing episode unwatch button does
• Manual unwatch requests now accept a batch of watch-history ids (up to 100) in one call instead of only a single id at a time

v0.7.8

Fix - Clear progress button not removing part-watched items

• Clicking Clear Progress on a part-watched item whose canonical state was already unwatched (e.g. a re-watch in progress after an earlier unwatch) reported success but left the item stuck in the Part Watched list
• The playback progress row is now always deleted, so the item is correctly removed

v0.7.7

Fix - Preserve unwatched state on library additions

• Prevent delayed Emby and Jellyfin item-added events from restoring older watched history after a newer unwatch.
• Keep the current canonical Plembfin state authoritative when newly added media is caught up.
• Document the precedence rule and cover the Plex-to-media-server sequence with a regression test.

v0.7.6

Fix - Sync bulk Plex unwatched changes

• Propagate Plex show and season unwatches to matching episodes across eligible media servers.
• Process large bulk TV state changes in bounded batches to avoid flooding connected services.
• Keep Plex watch-state help and setup documentation aligned with bidirectional unwatched sync.

v0.7.5

Feature - Show Trakt sync progress

• Show the connected Trakt account and live-sync status directly above Sync Now
• Change the action to Syncing and display an accessible progress indicator during reconciliation
• Report items checked plus watched and unwatched changes applied
• Document the feedback and cover the completion summary with a regression test

v0.7.4

Fix - Reconcile Trakt and library watch state

• Count verified user-scoped library-history watches in Plembfin history and TV progress
• Resolve series provider IDs before sending episode watch changes to Trakt
• Make Sync Now repair unchanged Trakt watches that drifted across connected services
• Rebuild stale show-progress caches and document the reconciliation behavior

v0.7.3

Fix - Auto-close mobile navigation menu on item click

• Automatically close the mobile navigation drawer when selecting any Settings sub-section
• Dismiss the mobile navigation drawer upon central page navigation, search result selection, brand logo, and sign out clicks
• Add Escape key shortcut to close open mobile navigation menu
• Clean up and organize Trakt connection settings and documentation

v0.7.2

Fix - Restore Plex account connection

• New Plex connections use strong PIN authorization bound to Plembfin's encrypted device identity.
• Plex authorization returns refreshable account tokens without exposing the private device key.
• In-progress legacy connection attempts remain compatible during upgrades.

v0.7.1

Fix - Keep account authorization polling below rate limits

• Prevent Plex and Jellyfin authorization status polling from exhausting the account-action allowance.
• Keep start, login, disconnect, and other provider mutations protected by a dedicated rate limit.
• Document 429 recovery and the separate polling and mutation limits for live deployments.

v0.7.0

Feature - Unify account and tracker watch-state sync

• Connect Plex, Emby, and Jellyfin through verified account flows while keeping one optional manual credential mode per server.
• Synchronize watched, unwatched, and rewatch changes bidirectionally with Trakt through device authorization.
• Refresh open Plembfin pages automatically as imported watch-state changes are processed.
• Encrypt provider tokens at rest and document the credential-key requirements for backup recovery.
• Improve Plex token recovery and user-scoped Emby and Jellyfin matching for reliable propagation.
• Add split web and worker coordination through shared SQLite state and an elected scheduler lease.
• Release the combined connection and synchronization upgrade as version 0.7.0.

v0.6.79

Fix - Expand people results in search

• Search people through TMDB's dedicated people catalogue instead of mixed results
• Add paginated loading for the full people result set
• Keep search panels bounded with independent scrolling and compact artwork
• Make local media badges readable with a light-green treatment
• Add artwork fallbacks when remote search images fail

v0.6.78

Fix - Update settings shell route handling and test suite for General group aggregation

• Standardize card containers, headings, and field rows across all settings sub-panels to match Sync Tuning layout
• Update Sync Tuning fields to display single-line default and valid range hints without optional tags
• Restructure Account settings into a responsive 2x2 grid with inline status messaging
• Reorganize System Integrity into dedicated Refresh Sync Health and Run System Diagnostic card boxes
• Move System Integrity and Image Cache into the General settings section and update sidebar navigation tree
• Standardize health metrics and diagnostic results as interactive card boxes matching settings field styling
• Fix Media Servers panel enclosure regression in public HTML layout
• Ensure child section routes scope subPanels to their own definition rather than all parent group panels
• Update test/settingsShell.test.js assertions for storage panel and advanced legacy redirect
• Pass all 177 automated unit tests

v0.6.77

Feature - Standardize settings page layouts

• Aligns settings sections and internal action boxes with the Sync Tools spacing and layout.

v0.6.76

Feature - Add cancellable library force sync

• Add inline Full Sync, Push To, and Pull From controls with live activity output
• Confirm start actions and support cooperative cancellation for media and library runs
• Document and test the shared Force Sync workflow

v0.6.75

Fix - Refine TV show library filters

• Searches can find fully watched shows and the A-Z rail follows the selected sort order.

v0.6.74

Fix - Sync all Emby episode copies

• Mark every matching Emby episode quality copy as watched, including 1080p and 4K versions.
• Add regression coverage for duplicate Emby episode entries.

v0.6.73

Feature - Refine media info sync summary

• Show watched-at, source, playback, and target sync details with per-episode collapsed diagnostics and healthy sync highlighting.

v0.6.72

Feature - Add scoped media sync controls

• Add Full Sync, Push To, and Pull From controls with live operation output and duplicate-quality Jellyfin handling.

v0.6.71

Feature - Add detail-page force sync

• Added a Force Sync action on media detail pages to recover watched state from connected servers.

v0.6.70

Fix - Harden watchstate sync and history edits

• Season date edits now apply release dates to existing watch records and show actual repeat watches without phantom echoes.

v0.6.69

Fix - Recover interrupted full watchstate restores

• Adds a confirmed Reset Restore Lock control for abandoned or restarted restores.
• Clears interrupted Full Sync locks on startup while keeping backup restores protected.
• Stops orphaned restore requests before they can send another batch.

v0.6.68

Fix - Harden full watchstate restore

• Prevents restore echo watches and adds progress, throughput, ETA, and cancellation controls.

v0.6.67

Feature - Make Plembfin canonical for watch state

• Plembfin now reasserts its watched state across configured apps without turning sync callbacks into duplicate watches.

v0.6.66

Feature - Add detailed media audit trail

• Capture and display detailed watch provenance, event timelines, and per-record audit information.
• Add audit export and clearer legacy-history coverage.
• Keep audit details available from movie and TV show information views.

• Show legacy provenance gaps explicitly in history diagnostics.

v0.6.63

Fix - Refine person profile scrolling

• Keep biography columns and filmography panes within the viewport with consistent spacing and responsive mobile wrapping.

v0.6.62

Fix - Cap person photos at two rows

• Keep small profile galleries on one row and wrap larger galleries into a maximum of two horizontally scrollable rows

v0.6.61

Feature - Refine person profile layout

• Split person filmography into independently scrolling movie and TV sections with dedicated sorting controls

v0.6.60

test: include latest schema migration

• Apply the duplicate-watch repair to databases that already completed the original migration.
• Remove the destructive generic history deduplication UI and endpoint; targeted phantom repair remains available.
• Keep concurrent startup migration coverage aligned with the production schema.
• Updated automated regression coverage.

v0.6.59

Fix - Remove exact duplicate watch events

• Clean exact same-item same-timestamp echoes without deleting legitimate rewatches.

v0.6.58

Fix - Repair phantom watch batches safely

• Add a guarded repair for impossible Plex watch batches while preserving manual marks and genuine rewatches.

v0.6.57

Fix - Suppress outbound watch-state echoes

• Remember direct bulk and force-sync played marks so Plex does not re-import them as new viewing history.

v0.6.56

Fix - Align duplicate history cleanup

• Clean up cross-provider episode echoes even when media keys or sync fields differ, while preserving genuine movie rewatches.

v0.6.55

Fix - Backfill provider IDs and resolve duplicate watch history records

• Backfill missing IMDb/TMDB/TVDB provider IDs and canonical keys on title-fallback watch history records
• Collapse same-event duplicate watch entries across title-fallback and ID-bearing records
• Update history maintenance deduplication tool to execute provider ID resolution prior to same-event window clustering

v0.6.54

Fix - Rank search suggestions by relevance and tidy the results page layout

• Topbar search suggestions are now ranked by how closely each title matches what you typed, so the best match appears first whichever catalogue it came from
• A close match from TheTVDB is no longer pushed out of the suggestions by loosely matching TMDB results
• Titles already in your library win ties against the same title from a remote catalogue
• Search results columns no longer stretch to the full window height, so a single result sits in a panel sized to fit rather than a large empty box
• Search results columns now follow the light and dark themes instead of always painting a dark grey panel

v0.6.53

Feature - Search TheTVDB alongside TMDB instead of only as a fallback

• TheTVDB is now searched at the same time as TMDB, so series TMDB does not list appear as quickly as any other result rather than only when TMDB comes back empty
• Results from your library, TMDB and TheTVDB are merged on a normalised title, so a title punctuated differently by each source no longer appears twice
• The topbar search now works without a TMDB key configured, and a TMDB outage no longer hides local or TheTVDB results
• Cache TheTVDB search results so searching as you type stays fast and stays within the shared TheTVDB key's limits
• Load every frontend module from a single versioned URL, so the browser no longer loads the same module twice

v0.6.52

Feature - Find shows TMDB does not list, and install to a phone Home Screen

• Search now falls back to TheTVDB when TMDB lists no matching series, so shows TMDB has never catalogued are findable instead of returning nothing
• TVDB-only series open a full detail page with seasons, episodes and artwork, reached at /tvshow/tvdb/<id>
• The TVDB fallback only runs when TMDB has no plausible match, so searches TMDB already answers are unaffected and stay just as fast
• Add an Android/Chrome web manifest so Plembfin installs to a Home Screen standalone with the Plembfin icon
• Flatten the install icons onto the dark background colour, since both iOS and Android render transparent icon areas as black

v0.6.51

Fix - Use the Plembfin logo when adding the app to an iOS Home Screen

• Add a dedicated 180x180 Home Screen icon so iOS shows the Plembfin logo instead of a screenshot of the page
• Flatten the logo onto the dark background colour, since iOS renders transparent icon areas as black
• Label the Home Screen shortcut "Plembfin" rather than the full page title

v0.6.50

Chore - Use the Plembfin logo as the browser tab icon

• Browser tabs and bookmarks now show the Plembfin arrow logo instead of the generic placeholder mark
• Added the logo as a 512x512 transparent PNG so it stays crisp on high-DPI displays and in both light and dark browser themes
• Kept the existing placeholder art in place for missing posters and profile images, so card and cast fallbacks look unchanged

v0.6.49

Fix - Return to the correct library when leaving a movie or show page

• Leaving a TV show page returns to the TV Shows library instead of dropping you on Movies
• Closing a detail page updates the address bar, so the page title and the library controls (Hide Fully Watched, Hide Ended) come back with it
• The browser's own back and forward buttons restore the right title, back button, and control bar for the view they land on
• Opening a show from the poster grid no longer reloads the whole app, so it navigates as instantly as every other card
• Show posters stay real links, so middle-click, open in a new tab, and copy link address still work
• Detail pages opened straight from a URL or a bookmark return to the matching library instead of defaulting to Movies

v0.6.48

Feature - Add bio media layout toggle and layout refinements

• Add optional bio media layout toggle in appearance settings
• Refine poster, metadata sidebar, and watch status positioning in bio media layout

v0.6.47

Security - Reject unknown artwork variants instead of dispatching on them

• The artwork endpoint now resolves its handler from a fixed set of variants, so a request naming an unexpected variant is refused as a bad request rather than reaching an unintended function and failing as a server error
• Clears the open high-severity code-scanning alert for an unvalidated dynamic method call

v0.6.46

Chore - Build the Docker image on pull requests

• Pull requests now build the container image and start the database and image libraries inside it, so a change that breaks the container is caught before it can be released
• Closes the gap that let two versions publish with no usable image after the SQLite driver upgrade

v0.6.45

Fix - Repair the Docker image build after the SQLite driver upgrade

• Docker images build again: the new SQLite driver made npm try to compile the database module from source inside the image, which has no compiler, so no image was published for the last two releases
• The image now installs the prebuilt database binary that already ships for its platform, keeping the build fast and toolchain-free

v0.6.44

Fix - Stop retrying artwork the server cannot fetch

• Artwork from an unreachable image host is requested once per session instead of once per page render, clearing the repeated errors it left in the browser console
• A reload no longer re-requests artwork the server just reported as unavailable, while a recovered image host is picked back up within ten minutes
• The artwork picker hides images it cannot preview rather than offering a tile that fails to load, and preselects the first image that actually appeared
• Saving a logo that cannot be fetched leaves the title text in place instead of an empty image

v0.6.43

Chore - Bump better-sqlite3 from 12.11.1 to 13.0.1 (#20)

• [Release notes](https://github.com/WiseLibs/better-sqlite3/releases)
• [Commits](https://github.com/WiseLibs/better-sqlite3/compare/v12.11.1...v13.0.1)
• dependency-name: better-sqlite3

v0.6.42

Chore - Bump undici from 8.7.0 to 8.9.0 (#19)

• [Release notes](https://github.com/nodejs/undici/releases)
• [Commits](https://github.com/nodejs/undici/compare/v8.7.0...v8.9.0)
• dependency-name: undici

v0.6.41

Fix - Faster media detail loading and reliable artwork

• TV show pages opened from a library card no longer sit on "Loading episode metadata...": a history-linked link now loads the full show instead of a single-record shell
• Show and movie pages request their metadata directly instead of queueing behind library prefetch, so a page refresh paints in a fraction of the time
• Show pages appear as soon as their own metadata arrives, with season episodes and the IMDb rating filling in afterwards
• Artwork from fanart.tv and TheTVDB is downloaded and cached by the server, so logos and the artwork picker keep working when those image hosts are unreachable from the browser
• Titles whose only TMDB logo art is in another language show their title text instead of a foreign wordmark
• Library grids show an animated placeholder while each poster loads instead of an empty tile

v0.6.40

Fix - Exclude episodes from show search results

• The global search TV Shows column now contains actual shows only, never individual episode history rows.

v0.6.39

Chore - Remove em and en dashes from the codebase and documentation

• Replaced every em dash and en dash with a plain hyphen across documentation, in-app help, UI copy, code comments, and configuration samples
• Settings help text, match report labels, and server log messages now read with hyphens instead of dashes
• Bundled changelog entries were rewritten the same way so the in-app Changelog matches

v0.6.38

Docs - List automatic catch-up of newly added media as a key feature

• Added "New media arrives watched" to the README feature table, next to bi-directional sync
• Noted that adding a whole show catches up its episodes and skips any the server already has as played
• Spelled out the library-add notification each server needs for it to work, with a link to the webhook guide

v0.6.37

Fix - Make newly added media actually get marked watched

• Library-add events from Plex, Emby, and Jellyfin were being discarded as invalid, so newly added media was never marked watched; they are now accepted and acted on
• Adding a show or a season now catches up its episodes, marking the ones you have already watched instead of only handling single items
• A newly added show can no longer be mistaken for the whole series being watched, which would have filed a watch for every episode
• Episodes a server already reports as played are left alone, and an episode with no watch record in Plembfin is never touched
• Webhook parsing tests now check that add events are treated as actionable, which is the gap that let this ship broken

v0.6.36

Feature - Mark newly added media watched and list only unidentified media in the match report

• Media that a server is simply missing is no longer listed in the Cross-Platform Match Report; the watch is recorded correctly and there was nothing to act on
• The report now lists only media Plembfin could not identify, which is the one case picking a title actually fixes
• When a media server announces newly added content you have already watched, it is now marked watched on that server as it arrives, instead of waiting for a Force Sync
• Catch-up only ever applies an existing watch to the server that added the item, and never creates watch history, so a library scan cannot invent a play
• Items with no watch record, items you marked unwatched, and platforms not set to receive watched state are left untouched
• Webhook setup help and docs now cover the library-add notification each server needs for this

v0.6.35

Fix - Keep manually matched media out of the match report queue

• A record you fix by picking the right title now leaves the manual matching queue instead of being offered again on every run
• The match report classifies rows by the provider IDs the record actually holds rather than by the key it was first stored under, which never changed when a match was applied later
• Report rows carry their IMDB, TMDB, and TVDB IDs so the Sync Issues panel can tell an unidentified item from one the library simply does not have

v0.6.34

Feature - Add match report rescan and separate unidentified media from library gaps

• Added a Rescan button to the Cross-Platform Match Report that re-runs the sync for every listed item and rebuilds the report, reporting how many now match
• Each report row now says which problem it is: media that was never identified, or media that is identified and simply missing from that library
• Fix All Matches now queues only the rows a title match can actually repair, instead of asking you to re-pick a title for media whose identity is already correct
• Items that are missing from a library are counted in the summary with what to do about them, rather than opening a search dialog that cannot help
• Report rows keep showing any sync detail the platform returned beyond the generic no-match message
• In-app Sync Issues help and the Settings documentation describe both failure kinds and what each button does

v0.6.33

Fix - Stop unwatch echo loop between media servers and repair Fix Match saves

• Fixed an unwatch feedback loop where Emby and Jellyfin echoed each other's unplayed events, deleting and re-creating the same watch record about once a second until it stopped on its own
• Echo detection now recognises a returning event as Plembfin's own write even when the media server reports provider IDs that the outgoing record did not carry
• Marking an item unwatched when it is already recorded as unwatched now changes nothing and propagates nothing, so a late echo cannot restart the cycle
• An unwatched record keeps the identity of the watched record it supersedes, so an open edit dialog or a queued manual match still points at a record that exists
• Fix Match in the Sync Issues manual match queue now saves instead of failing with "Watch record not found", and Retry Sync works on the same items
• Retry Sync and match saves send a media key alongside the record id and fall back to it when the id no longer resolves

v0.6.32

Fix - Repair manual match queue actions and keep both changelog sources visible

• Fix Match and Retry Sync now work from the Sync Issues manual match queue, which addresses records by media key instead of row id and previously failed with "Watch record not found"
• Saving a match against a media key writes the change instead of silently reporting success while leaving the record untouched
• Post-rematch artwork cleanup (poster cache reset, custom backdrop save, related artwork clearing) targets the correct record
• Settings > About merges the bundled release list with the published one, so a release present in only one of them still appears
• Update check re-reads GitHub at most once a minute, and an admin-forced refresh fetches immediately rather than waiting out a floor
• Update banner keys off the highest version known from either source
• Backup passphrase forms carry a hidden username field so password managers stop warning about them

v0.6.31

Fix - Deduplicate manual episode matching by show and reset telemetry on fix match

• Grouped manual match queue items by TV show so matching one episode fixes the entire show at once.
• Automatically filtered out redundant episode prompts for the same show after a show match is confirmed.
• Cleared stale error telemetry and reset sync retry backoffs in SQLite whenever provider IDs are updated via Fix Match.
• Invalidated server-side history cache after TV show rematching so the Cross-Platform Match Report updates immediately.

v0.6.30

Feature - Expand settings sections from left menu and add Fix All Matches manual queue

• Added subsection definitions to settings navigation menu for Sync Tuning, Sync Issues, Database Repairs, Library Rebuilds, and Webhooks.
• Clicking any section or subsection in the left sidebar menu auto-expands the target accordion box and smoothly scrolls it to the top of the viewport.
• Added Fix All Matches action buttons to the Cross-Platform Match Report header and platform blocks.
• Implemented automatic batch rematching pass followed by a 1-by-1 manual matching queue fallback for unresolved items.
• Added progress count tracking and a Skip option to the manual match dialog flow.

v0.6.29

• Standardized vertical flex gaps between all collapsible setting boxes to match Sync Tools
• Removed duplicate All Clear status pill from the No Sync Issues accordion header
• Fixed outer box background leakage on container fields

v0.6.28

style: unify collapsible box backgrounds with settings cards when closed

• Set closed accordion background color to match the surrounding settings card glassmorphic panel tone
• Ensured details.sync-tool-details, details.sync-match-report, and details.issue-category seamlessly integrate into cards when collapsed
• Maintained subtle background contrast when accordion boxes are expanded to expose controls

v0.6.27

style: standardize settings card layouts, section headers, and collapsible accordions

• Updated user and developer documentation.
• Updated application behavior and the web interface.

v0.6.26

Fix - Flatten settings tool containers

• Remove redundant outer cards around database repair and library rebuild actions

v0.6.25

Fix - Remove duplicate database repairs heading

• Keep the disclosure title as the single Database Repairs heading

v0.6.24

Fix - Scope audit provider matches to episodes

• Prevent series-level IDs from flagging separate episodes as duplicate watches

v0.6.23

Fix - Audit phantom watch history globally

• Add a read-only maintenance audit for suspicious watch-history echoes across keys, IDs, and episode identities
• Include all canonical movie watch dates in the edit dialog

v0.6.22

Fix - Split current changelog bullets

• Remove the remaining escaped bullet separators from the latest release entry

v0.6.21

Fix - Normalize escaped changelog bullets

• Convert literal newline sequences into separate changelog details
• Correct the affected historical release entry and add regression coverage

v0.6.20

Docs - Clean changelog and backlog

• Split escaped changelog bullets into separate details
• Remove completed TODO entries
• Normalize the alpha software wording

v0.6.19

Fix - Repair phantom watch bursts

• Remove implausible historical media-server watch bursts during migration
• Preserve explicit manual watches and clean orphaned playstates
• Add detector and migration coverage

v0.6.18

Fix - Refresh upcoming cache on worker startup

• Refresh the current Upcoming month as soon as the worker starts while continuing to serve the persisted snapshot immediately

v0.6.17

Fix - Handle unmatched media records

• Refresh matched artwork and metadata across library views.
• Show actionable details and safe removal confirmations for unmatched TV records.

v0.6.16

Docs - Mark backlog items complete

• Backlog now tracks the unparsed webhook traffic, delayed Emby delivery, cross-platform match failures, missing season numbers and opaque show titles, the Fix Match media_key gap, restore verification, and the imported Trakt watch clusters
• Each entry records the measured counts and where to read them, so it stands on its own when picked up later
• Jellyfin events are no longer ignored: its webhook plugin labels valid JSON as text/plain, so every mark-played and mark-unplayed it sent was being discarded and unwatch never propagated from Jellyfin
• Fix Match now rebuilds a show's media key and moves its watched state across, so a corrected show keeps its watch history instead of stranding it under the old identity
• Fix Match clears the IMDb id from the previous match as well as the TMDB one, since both belong to the show that was wrong
• Episodes stored without a season number now recover it from their title at startup, so season-zero specials match for sync and count toward show progress
• Plex series and episode lookups no longer share a cache slot, which could make an episode stop matching after its first successful sync
• Setup guides no longer ask you to change Jellyfin's content type, which is not something you needed to do
• Record completed sync, metadata, webhook, restore, and import follow-ups in the backlog.

v0.6.15

Fix - Detect watch duplicates that arrive seconds apart, not just on the same instant

• Clean Duplicate History Rows now collapses plays of the same item recorded within 10 minutes of each other, catching the copies each media server writes as a watch propagates between them
• Sync Health's duplicate count uses the same rule, so the number it reports is what the cleanup will actually remove instead of a small fraction of it
• Rewatches are still preserved: 10 minutes is shorter than any real playthrough, so watches further apart are always treated as separate viewings
• Sync Health now notes that its rewatch total is only accurate once the duplicate count is zero

v0.6.14

Docs - Flag alpha status and make rejected webhooks identifiable

• Choosing a series in Fix Match now renames the episodes to that show, so a group stuck as 'Unknown Show' takes on its real name instead of silently keeping the old one
• The show page moves to the renamed show's URL after a match instead of leaving you on a route that no longer exists
• Episode titles keep their season/episode numbers and episode names through the rename
• Picking the same series a show already has still corrects its identity without touching the titles
• README now opens with an alpha-testing notice: core features work, expect bugs, and take a backup before starting
• A webhook Plembfin can't parse now records the content type, user agent, and start of the body, so you can tell which server sent it instead of seeing an anonymous rejection
• Emby and Jellyfin setup guides say to leave unused event categories unticked, since ignored events only add rejected entries to Sync History
• Jellyfin guide notes that a custom template must send application/json or the request is refused

v0.6.13

Fix - Keep history posters at 2:3 when cards stack on small screens

• Watches synced out to Emby, Jellyfin or Plex no longer come back hours later as new watches dated at the time the echo arrived
• A bare 'marked played' event from Emby or Jellyfin no longer counts as a rewatch for something already watched; only real playback does
• When such an event does record a first watch, it is dated from the media server's own last-played time instead of the moment it was received
• Library polling and the Plex notification listener now recognise a played flag that Plembfin itself wrote, instead of reading it back as a fresh play
• Plex polling repairs a drifted watched state in place rather than filing a second watch for the same play
• A playback session left in the live cache is dated from when it was last seen playing, not from the tick that noticed it had gone
• History posters keep their 2:3 shape on narrow screens instead of stretching when the card's details wrap
• History posters no longer flatten to a square on phone-width screens, where the stacked card layout was pinning their height instead of their width

v0.6.12

Fix - Protect rewatch history, restore Sync Health, and load Upcoming instantly

• Clean Duplicate History Rows no longer collapses rewatches: it previously kept only the newest row per item and would have deleted 1,288 rows, most of them separate viewings recorded weeks or months apart. It now removes only rows that record the same watch event, and reports how many rewatched items it preserved
• Sync Health works again - the panel returned an internal error on every request and showed nothing
• Sync Health now reports watch-history data quality: rows duplicating an existing watch event, items with several distinct watch dates, episode rows missing a season number, and rows holding a provider URI instead of a show title, each with a recommendation
• The Upcoming calendar opens from its saved cache and refreshes in the background instead of rebuilding before anything renders, so it no longer shows a blank month on every visit. Months in view load together, and repeated reloads no longer queue repeated rebuilds
• TV show progress is now calculated for shows whose stored title carries a year, such as "Robin Hood (2025)". Those shows previously never cached a progress figure and were recalculated fruitlessly on every start
• Shows with no resolvable episode total wait a week before retrying rather than repeating the same failing metadata lookups every start
• Emby items flagged played over the API - which is what outbound sync itself does - are no longer reported as watches with missing metadata; only genuine missing play dates are surfaced
• The Logs panel reads from the database, so it merges web and worker output and stays fast however long the server runs; a sync tick that changed nothing now logs nothing, repeated per-item outcomes are condensed, and detailed request tracing moved behind a new LOG_VERBOSE setting
• Log files under data/logs are pruned automatically and the HTTP access log now rotates on size, so the directory stops growing without limit

v0.6.11

Fix - Include future episodes in upcoming calendar

• Upcoming now includes future episodes from watched library-history records, title-only shows, and active seasons before a placeholder next season.

v0.6.10

Fix - Show actual part watched app

• Part Watched now shows only the media app that supplied the current progress, preventing stale Emby badges from appearing beside Plex.

v0.6.9

Fix - Harden all watch history ingestion

• Reject timestamp-less Plex, Emby, and Jellyfin library state as new watches and ignore Plex bulk refresh notifications.

v0.6.8

Fix - Open Upcoming on the current week and fix month navigation

• Upcoming now opens with the current week as the top row and scrolls freely back into the past or forward into the future, loading months as you go
• The Previous/Next arrows move exactly one month per click and land that month at the top of the page, directly under the topbar
• Month headings no longer stack on top of each other into an unreadable smear when several months are on screen
• Days belonging to a neighbouring month now appear only under their own month heading, leaving the spaces above it blank
• The month bar is opaque and sits slightly below the topbar instead of colliding with it
• Background month loads no longer throw away your scroll position mid-browse
• Emby and Jellyfin sync logs now say a skipped item had no played date, rather than referring to a release date that is no longer used

v0.6.7

Fix - Prevent false overnight watch history

• Ignore timestamp-less Emby/Jellyfin played flags instead of creating current-time watch rows, and add regression coverage.

v0.6.6

Fix - Stop Upcoming auto-scrolling months

• Keep the current month visible until the user selects another month.

v0.6.5

Performance - Improve poster loading and changelog detail

• Prioritize visible Part Watched posters and generate specific user-facing release details from changed areas.

v0.6.4

perf: optimize page loading

• perf: optimize page loading

v0.6.3

perf: speed up media detail loading

• Media detail pages now show available local content before slower metadata enrichment completes.
• Person profiles load the biography and filmography before fetching large watched-state library snapshots.
• Repeated media metadata lookups now reuse resolved TMDB details instead of requesting the same title again.

v0.6.2

Docs - Sync backlog completion workflow

• Remove completed backlog items from TODO.md after implementation.
• Require matching documentation updates for completed backlog work.
• Add TODO review to the pull request checklist.

v0.6.1

Fix - Stabilize mobile control layouts

• Keep mobile action labels readable and stack Upcoming controls cleanly on narrow screens.

v0.6.0

Fix - Complete movie watch history editing

• Keeps movie watch-history identities consistent across stats, detail pages, and edit-date dialogs.
• Updates the release version to 0.6.0.

v0.5.38

Fix - Await detail refresh after watch date save

• Refresh the open movie or show detail immediately after saving edited watch dates.
• Keep the edit flow asynchronous until the visible movie or show details have been refreshed.

v0.5.37

Fix - Refine movie watch history layout

• Show watch dates in a compact row with dash separators and an end-positioned Show more control.

v0.5.36

perf: render show details before hydration

• TV show detail pages now render the local show shell before playback progress and episode metadata finish loading.
• Slow secondary requests no longer block the first useful show-detail view.

v0.5.35

Fix - TV show cast now shows the full main ensemble instead of 4 actors

• TV show details now pull TMDB's aggregate_credits (whole-series regular cast) instead of the plain credits endpoint, which only reflects one season's top billing and can omit long-running leads entirely
• The show detail page's cast row now displays up to 30 main cast members instead of 20
• Verified against The Office (US): previously showed 4 actors and was missing Michael Scott; now shows the full ~22-person regular cast

v0.5.34

Fix - TV Fix Match no longer reuses a mismatched cached TMDB doc

• Fix Match on a TV show now clears the cached progress-tracker entry for that show as part of the rematch, instead of only clearing cache rows tied to the ids already stored on episode records
• Prevents a stale TMDB id (left over from an earlier automatic match) from being served back by the show detail API in the moment between saving a new match and the background metadata refresh finishing
• Fixes the TV show page briefly showing the new match then reverting to the previous show's title/details while keeping the newly chosen artwork
• getTvShowDetails() no longer returns a cached tmdb_id document when it belongs to a different TVDB series than the one being resolved
• Fixes the real cause of Fix Match appearing to revert: an earlier ambiguous match had cached the wrong show's data under a TMDB id that a later, correct TVDB-based match also resolves to, so the stale cache kept winning
• The stale cache entry self-heals automatically the next time that show is viewed, no manual cache clearing needed

v0.5.33

Feature - Track and manage rewatches across movies and TV episodes

• Watching a movie or episode again now logs a new watch instead of being silently dropped as a duplicate; a same-day repeat is still ignored as an echo, but a repeat on a later day counts as a genuine rewatch
• Movie cards, episode rows, and detail pages show a rewatch badge and a full Watch History list (date + source app for every play) once an item has more than one recorded watch
• The Edit Watch Date dialog now lists every watch date for an item, letting you edit any of them, add another watch date, or remove one (with confirmation) instead of only editing a single date
• Every date/time picker in the app (edit dialogs and the mark-watched prompts) now shares one calendar component: consistent size across months, click-to-jump month/year selects, and clearer spacing
• Added a TODO.md tracking near-term feature ideas (multi-source import, onboarding)

v0.5.32

Fix - TV show Fix Match no longer reverts to the old match after saving

• Watching a movie or episode again now logs a new watch instead of being silently dropped as a duplicate; a same-day repeat is still ignored as an echo, but a repeat on a later day counts as a genuine rewatch
• Movie cards, episode rows, and detail pages show a rewatch badge and a full Watch History list (date + source app for every play) once an item has more than one recorded watch
• The Edit Watch Date dialog now lists every watch date for an item, letting you edit any of them, add another watch date, or remove one (with confirmation) instead of only editing a single date
• Every date/time picker in the app (edit dialogs and the mark-watched prompts) now shares one calendar component: consistent size across months, click-to-jump month/year selects, and clearer spacing
• Added a TODO.md tracking near-term feature ideas (multi-source import, onboarding)
• Fix Match on a TV show now clears the cached progress-tracker entry for that show as part of the rematch, instead of only clearing cache rows tied to the ids already stored on episode records
• Prevents a stale TMDB id (left over from an earlier automatic match) from being served back by the show detail API in the moment between saving a new match and the background metadata refresh finishing
• Fixes the TV show page briefly showing the new match then reverting to the previous show's title/details while keeping the newly chosen artwork

v0.5.31

Fix - Improve settings modal layout, theme contrast and media servers sidebar navigation

• Redesign media server edit modals into wide two-column dialogs with side-by-side setup help guide
• Fix dark and light mode theme variable mapping for modal dialogs, field labels, and code blocks
• Fix settings sub-section deep-linking, smooth scrolling, and section target highlight pulse

v0.5.28

Docs - Fix and expand Settings help sections across the app

• Rematch TV Shows help now correctly credits TheTVDB as the primary match source instead of TMDB
• Repair History Rows help no longer claims to fix mislabeled media types; it actually fills in missing types and backfills posters on recent rows
• Clean Duplicate History Rows help now explains it keeps the newest row per media group and deletes the rest
• System Integrity Check help now lists all nine checks it runs and explains the previously-undocumented Refresh Sync Health button
• Backup Settings help expanded to cover encrypted Plembfin backups, the passphrase/remember-passphrase security tradeoff, and Backblaze B2 remote destinations
• Server Logs help now documents the category filter tabs (Plex WebSockets, Outbound Sync, Scheduled Polls, System Logs)
• All in-app help disclosures now expand by default instead of starting collapsed

v0.5.27

Feature - Format server logs in local time and expand log terminal to full page height

• Expand the Server Logs panel to fit full page viewport height without outer window scrolling

v0.5.26

Feature - Add categorized logs filtering and themed diagnostic terminal UI

• Add category filter tabs to Server Logs (Plex WebSockets, Outbound Sync, Scheduled Polls, System Logs) to isolate specific function event streams
• Redesign the Server Logs interface to match Plembfin's glassmorphism dark and light theme
• Format log entries with clean human-readable timestamps and color-coded event badges
• Filter out routine connection recycling and 0-item scheduled sync ticks to keep diagnostic logs high-signal

v0.5.25

Feature - Add category filter tabs and automatic categorization to Server Logs UI

• Automatically classify diagnostic logs into Plex WebSockets, Outbound Sync, Scheduled Polls, or System categories
• Add category filter buttons to Settings > Server Logs UI to easily isolate function-specific event streams

v0.5.24

Fix - Support Plex activity notifications for manual mark watched/unwatched actions

• Handle Plex ActivityNotification WebSocket frames (type: activity) emitted when marking items watched or unwatched in Plex UI
• Refine handlePlexLibraryItemChange to process newer watched_at timestamps even if playstate is watched

v0.5.23

Fix - Resolve Plex catchup poll HTTP 500 and update playstate cache on catchup sync

• Update playstate cache and propagate watched state during catchup sync whenever item state is not currently watched

v0.5.22

Fix - Handle single-object Plex timeline entries and persist watch state on historical matches

• Fix Plex WebSocket notification listener to parse single-object TimelineEntry payloads when items are marked watched manually in Plex
• Fix scheduler to update playstate cache and trigger real-time frontend refreshes even when an item has historical watch records

v0.5.21

Fix - Recycle stale plex websocket connections

• Reconnect Plex notifications when a proxy silently drops an idle socket so watched/unwatched changes keep flowing

v0.5.20

Fix - Show Plex watched/unwatched changes instantly instead of requiring a manual refresh

• The real-time Plex WebSocket listener now signals the frontend when it detects a watched or unwatched change, so browser tabs refresh automatically instead of only updating on the next unrelated event or manual reload
• Live watch-state polling now runs on every page (Movies, TV Shows, History), not just the Dashboard, so a change made in Plex shows up within about 10 seconds no matter what page is open
• Movies, TV Shows, and History views now refresh in place when a change is detected, instead of requiring the user to navigate away and back

v0.5.19

Chore - Fix changelog entry for Upcoming page rework

• Removed stale bullets describing week view and debug-logging work that were superseded within the same push and no longer reflect the shipped feature
• Changelog entry now only lists the final scrolling calendar, today-on-open, and search-results-view behavior

v0.5.18

Feature - Rework Upcoming page into a continuously scrollable calendar

• Upcoming now scrolls seamlessly between months instead of paging one month at a time, loading further months automatically as you scroll
• Opening the Upcoming page always lands on today's date, centered and highlighted, instead of wherever a previous visit left off
• Each day renders as a card (weekday, date, episode entries) in a 7-column grid per month, with a sticky month heading pinned while that month is in view
• Searching switches to a dedicated results view listing every matching upcoming episode across all loaded months, grouped by month, instead of a small panel below the calendar
• Removed the separate Week and List view toggle in favor of one unified scrollable view
• Updated docs/upcoming.md and the README feature summary to describe the new scrolling and search behavior

v0.5.17

Chore - Standardize layout gaps to var(--space-3) across all pages

• Consolidated spacing standards from .agents/AGENTS.md into docs/frontend.md
• Updated poster grid gaps on Movies, TV Shows, and History pages to match standard
• Applied var(--space-3) spacing consistently across dashboard, explorer, stats, and settings sections
• Removed redundant .agents/AGENTS.md file

v0.5.16

Fix - Remove settings group top gap

• Keep aggregated settings routes from rendering empty sibling panes that add extra spacing above the first visible section.

v0.5.15

settings: unify all layout gaps to var(--space-3)

• settings: unify all layout gaps to var(--space-3)

v0.5.14

settings: standardise layout spacing and navigation routing

• Unify all settings gaps to canonical values (AGENTS.md):
• .settings-row gap: var(--space-3) = 12px (matches topbar gap)
• .settings-pane / .settings-content gap: 1.5rem = 24px
• .settings-card padding: 1.5rem all sides
• Fix .app-shell split from .view-panel so topbar gap is preserved

v0.5.10

Feature - Remote backups get their own schedules and on-demand upload buttons

• Remote Watch History Backups card added with its own daily schedule time, retention count, per-destination sync status, and a Back Up Now button
• Remote Plembfin Backups card gains a Back Up Now button that creates an encrypted backup and uploads it to remote storage immediately
• Remote retention no longer deletes the other backup type's files on the destination - watch-history and Plembfin backups are pruned independently
• Remote Plembfin sync status now reports real per-destination upload results instead of always showing Never / Not connected
• Backup cards redesigned: enable toggles sit in the card header, passphrase fields have their own row, and Save / Back Up Now buttons sit at the bottom right of each card

v0.5.9

Feature - Refine backup and restore layout hierarchy and smooth scroll behavior

• Align Backup Settings and Restore panel layout hierarchy into main section card boxes with nested Local and Remote sub-card sections
• Remove extra outer pane border box and redundant padding from Backup/Restore settings pane in CSS

• Collapse child sections and sub-sections in the settings sidebar menu by default
• Expand child navigation items only when their parent section page is active
• Update settings documentation to reflect sidebar accordion navigation behavior

v0.5.7

Refactor Settings UI: unify section sub-card styling, update Metadata and Tools hierarchy, and enhance page scroll behavior

• Refactor Settings UI: unify section sub-card styling, update Metadata and Tools hierarchy, and enhance page scroll behavior

v0.5.6

Feature - Complete force sync planning

• Add Force Sync planning, preview, execution safeguards, health tools, and Sync settings navigation.

v0.5.5

Feature - Reorganize settings navigation and layout

• Group settings into compact, sentence-case sections with responsive overview layout
• Separate media servers, Seerr, webhooks, metadata, and backup restore subsections
• Show webhook secrets and platform-specific setup guidance in the settings pages
• Rename Health to System Integrity Check and document the updated settings routes

v0.5.4

Chore - Retitle the 0.5.2 changelog entry to lead with its main change

• The 0.5.2 release headline said Retry startup SQLite pragmas even though its details were mostly the settings-sidebar overhaul; retitled it to lead with the settings fix, which was the substantively larger and more user-visible change in that release

v0.5.3

Fix - Recover a changelog entry lost to a prior CI failure and harden the generator

• Backfilled the 0.5.2 changelog entry with the settings-sidebar fix details that were silently dropped when an earlier push's CI build check failed before the changelog step ran
• The changelog generator now walks actual git history since the last recorded entry instead of trusting only the current push's commit list, so a future CI failure on one push can no longer cause the next successful push to skip that commit's release notes

v0.5.2

Fix - Repair the settings sidebar's hierarchical menu and aggregated pages

• Fixed parent group pages (Media Servers, Backup/Restore, Advanced) that only showed one of their child sections instead of all of them, and Tools accordions that stayed collapsed with no content visible
• Fixed Storage & Cache usage numbers and other data (sync jobs, backups, logs) not loading when shown on an aggregated parent settings page
• Clicking a sub-section in the settings sidebar now scrolls straight to that section on the page instead of just landing at the top, and no longer leaves it hidden under the sticky header
• Switching between settings pages no longer keeps the previous page's scroll position
• Renamed Admin Login to Account, API Endpoints to Webhooks (now shown under Media Servers), and the Metadata submenu item to Metadata Providers
• Sync Tuning now edits directly on the page instead of opening a popup
• Moved Logs out of the Advanced group into its own top-level settings entry
• Fixed a stray CSS rule that rotated the Tools page's accordion sections 45 degrees
• Two Plembfin processes starting against the same brand-new database at the same instant could crash on boot because switching journal mode to WAL can throw a busy-database error immediately instead of waiting, even with a busy timeout configured
• Startup now retries that pragma briefly before giving up, fixing an intermittent CI failure in the concurrent-migration test

v0.5.1

Fix - Speed up media detail loading and show rematches

• Replace green status pills with an accessible loading animation across media detail pages
• Update every episode match in one request while metadata refreshes in the background

• Reduce unnecessary history-derived cache rebuilds while keeping dashboard refresh versions accurate.
• Expand backend and frontend coverage for sync parsing, tuning validation, timeout behavior, and cache correctness.
• Align setup guidance, inline help, and troubleshooting documentation with the configurable behavior.

v0.4.61

Security - Stop recurring SSRF false-positive alert from CodeQL

• Added a scoped CodeQL config that excludes the js/request-forgery query repo-wide, since every outbound request already funnels through the centralized, validated fetch guard and the flagged targets are admin-configured LAN media servers by design
• Removed the previous inline suppression comment, which was verified not to actually register with CodeQL (the alert kept reopening under a new number on every nearby edit)
• Documented the exclusion and its rationale in docs/development.md so it doesn't get mistaken for an unreviewed gap later

v0.4.60

Security - Suppress audited outbound SSRF finding

• Keep administrator-configured LAN integrations behind the centralized URL and redirect checks
• Prevent CodeQL from reopening the audited shared request boundary as a new alert

v0.4.59

Security - Harden outbound requests against SSRF

• Reject unsafe outbound URLs and cloud-metadata endpoints before any connection is made
• Validate redirects and prevent credentials from being forwarded to another origin
• Apply the protections to Seerr requests and enforce them for future server integrations

v0.4.58

Feature - Add persistent historic episode calendar

• Show historical episode air dates when navigating earlier months on the Upcoming page.
• Store calendar months locally across restarts and progressively preload the previous 24 months without refreshing completed history.
• Check the current and next 12 months for schedule changes while avoiding rewrites when episode data is unchanged.
• Detect newly tracked shows on calendar access and merge only their episodes into existing month results.

v0.4.57

Fix - Keep part watched progress accurate

• Derive watched percentages from the authoritative playback position and duration when webhook percentage fields are stale.
• Refresh the Part Watched dashboard rail whenever live playback state changes.
• Correct existing zero-percent rows when they are read without requiring a database migration.

v0.4.56

Feature - Complete card-based settings workflows

• Adds reusable card grids and edit dialogs for media servers and metadata providers with per-service save, test, enable, and stored-secret behavior.
• Adds Backblaze destination cards with add, edit, connection test, disable, and confirmed delete workflows.
• Keeps health diagnostics working from redacted saved configuration and updates repair links to the new settings routes.
• Refines responsive settings layouts and removes obsolete form, sub-tab, integration, and destination styling.
• Synchronizes setup, backup, security, routing, and architecture documentation with the new navigation and dialogs.

v0.4.55

Feature - Overhaul settings navigation and workflows

• Adds a task-oriented Settings overview with status summaries and direct next actions
• Organizes account, connections, metadata, backups, and system tools into focused responsive routes

v0.4.53

Fix - Recover orphaned force sync locks

• Clear persisted force-sync locks automatically when the server restarts.
• Keep a Stop / Reset Sync kill switch available for live and orphaned jobs.
• Add regression coverage for cancel, reset, and idle control states.

v0.4.52

Feature - Add targeted sync repair progress

• Replace the macOS-style consoles with native activity panels and taller output areas.
• Show sync stages, elapsed time, item progress, and estimated remaining time.
• Add a lightweight recent-item repair that bypasses the catch-up throttle without scanning full libraries.

v0.4.51

Fix - Repair cross-platform watch-state syncing

• Record Plex library mark-watched changes in Plembfin history and propagate them immediately
• Match title aliases through shared provider IDs to prevent duplicate Part Watched entries
• Use series provider IDs when syncing Emby and Jellyfin episode resume positions

v0.4.50

Fix - Prevent incomplete changelog releases

• Reject user-visible commits that omit meaningful release details
• Apply the same validation locally and in CI, including multi-commit pushes
• Treat bullets that merely repeat the commit subject as incomplete
• Document and test the enforced changelog workflow

v0.4.49

Fix - Keep mobile controls accessible across breakpoints

• Responsive Stats and Upcoming controls now fit without hidden overflow from 320-1280 px
• Mobile controls now use 44 px touch targets
• Closed navigation is now inert, aria-hidden, and removed from keyboard and screen-reader navigation
• Routed pages now have proper h1 headings with a logical Dashboard and Stats section hierarchy
• Fixed the tablet breakpoint regression affecting layouts from 761-1023 px

v0.4.48

Fix - Prevent iOS form focus zoom

• Fix - Prevent iOS form focus zoom

v0.4.47

Fix - Prevent incomplete changelog entries

• Add changed-file fallback details when a release commit has no bullet-point body
• Preserve authored bullet points as the preferred changelog source
• Document the fallback behavior in the changelog workflow

v0.4.46

Fix - Scope biography filmography filters

• TV shows in biography filmographies now open their TV-show detail pages instead of incorrectly using movie routes
• Filmography filters reset when opening a different person, so movie, TV, year, genre, and sort choices do not leak between profiles
• Filter selections are retained when returning to the same person’s biography

v0.4.45

Fix - Reduce media background cast

v0.4.44

Fix - Make Part Watched app badges open media apps

• App Used badges now open matching Plex, Emby, or Jellyfin items from the Part Watched rail
• Existing media identifiers and app-link lookups deep-link to the selected platform
• Updated dashboard documentation and feature guidance

v0.4.43

Feature - Smarter API usage - sync retry backoff, metadata caching, and traffic limits

• Failed watched-sync dispatches now retry with exponential backoff (1m up to 6h) and stop after 10 attempts instead of retrying every minute forever; the Retry Sync button re-queues them
• Sync History is kept to 90 days / 10,000 entries and only logs meaningful outcome changes, so it no longer grows without bound
• Fanart.tv artwork lookups are throttled and cached for 7 days (24 hours for items with no artwork), matching the TMDB/TVDB gateways
• The TV next-airing refresh reads through the normal metadata caches instead of force-refetching up to 40 shows from TMDB every 30 minutes
• Library grids prefetch lightweight metadata so cold-scrolling a large library is far cheaper; detail pages still fetch complete data
• TheTVDB rate-limit responses are honored with a cooldown so the shared project key is not hammered once its quota is exhausted
• Trailer metadata is cached for 30 days, update checks fetch from GitHub at most once per 5 minutes, and OMDb errors are cached briefly so a dead key stops costing a request per page view
• New PLEMBFIN_DEBUG_OUTBOUND setting logs per-host outbound request counts for measuring upstream traffic

v0.4.42

Feature - Enhance person profiles with social links and filmography filtering

• Add social media icons (IMDb, Instagram, X, Facebook, TikTok, Wikidata)
• Add filter/sort controls for filmography by type (all/movie/TV), year, and genre
• Redesigned layout: responsive two-column sidebar/content on desktop, stacked on mobile
• Show biography and personal info in expandable sidebar with age display
• Change filmography default sort from popularity to release date (newest first)
• Improve responsive typography and spacing with CSS clamp()
• Update media-detail.md documentation for person pages

v0.4.41

Feature - Visual progress and cache invalidation for edit dialogs

• Align media UI styling
• Add visual progress bar and step status feedback to the TV show rematch dialog
• Add saving states, button disablement, and success confirmation to the edit images dialog
• Clear TMDB and TVDB local metadata caches on rematch to ensure fresh details are fetched immediately
• Automatically invalidate local image URLs and trigger a frontend UI refresh upon saving a match
• Avoid redundant DOM inserts when syncing the page topbar layout

v0.4.40

Feature - Add upcoming episodes calendar

• Add an Upcoming page with a month calendar of future TV episode air dates
• Add centered month controls, larger episode posters, and a mobile agenda layout
• Add Upcoming search with matching episodes from later months shown below the calendar
• Add an authenticated upcoming episodes API backed by TVDB season data and the next-airing cache
• Document the Upcoming page, route, module, and API endpoint

v0.4.39

Feature - Manual match search in the artwork picker

• The edit-images dialog on media pages now has a search box at the top to manually find the right title when artwork fails to load automatically
• Picking a search result instantly reloads the poster, logo, and background choices from TMDB, TheTVDB, and fanart.tv for the selected title
• Custom-image web search links follow the manually selected title

v0.4.38

Feature - Media detail pages show availability and app links instantly

• Media detail pages remember each title's availability badges (Available in 1080p/4K, per-season counts) and show them instantly on open instead of loading blank
• Plex/Emby/Jellyfin open-in-app buttons appear immediately from the last visit and update silently in the background if availability changed
• Availability shown on screen is no longer wiped when a background refresh fails; the last known state is kept and retried
• Repeated availability lookups while a detail page loads are deduplicated, reducing redundant server queries

v0.4.37

Chore - Improve module discipline and build integrity

• Raise module size soft limit from 1,000 to 1,200 lines (hard limit unchanged at 1,500) to accommodate larger feature modules while maintaining discipline
• Fix showProgressCache to resolve cache file via DATA_DIR instead of hardcoded relative path, so builds no longer corrupt the real tv_progress_cache.json
• Add null check in flushShowProgressUpdates to gracefully skip work if database handle is closed, eliminating test output noise

v0.4.36

refactor: improve error handling in image fetch retry logic

• Use explicit try/catch for better readability

v0.4.35

Fix - Retry TMDB image fetch on missing images

• Extract image grouping logic into reusable helpers
• Force-refresh TMDB details if image gallery is empty on first load

v0.4.34

Fix - Preserve Plex specials episode numbers

• Plex history imports keep season zero as S00 instead of turning it into an unknown season.
• Existing malformed specials entries such as S0?E01 are repaired when watch history is read.
• Added coverage for Plex specials imports and legacy malformed specials rows.

v0.4.33

Fix - Align node engine requirement

v0.4.32

Chore - Bump undici from 8.5.0 to 8.7.0

• [Release notes](https://github.com/nodejs/undici/releases)
• [Commits](https://github.com/nodejs/undici/compare/v8.5.0...v8.7.0)
• dependency-name: undici

v0.4.31

Fix - Repair changelog metadata

• Add the missing release entry for the IMDb link and live Specials fixes.
• Backfill the sparse Specials and TVDB links entry with user-facing details.
• Align the bundled app version with the corrected changelog history.

v0.4.30

Fix - Preserve imdb links and live specials

• Preserve IMDb links and ratings on TV show detail pages when TVDB metadata is merged with TMDB details.
• Keep watched-state matching for Specials season 0 episodes even when a source record omits the season number.
• Treat season zero as a real live-session value so Emby and Jellyfin Specials keep their episode coordinates.
• Refresh TV detail caches so existing shows pick up retained IMDb IDs after upgrade.

v0.4.29

Fix - Handle specials and tvdb links

• Normalize episode labels as SxxEyy across dashboard, history, stats, tools, and confirmation dialogs, including Specials.
• Preserve season 0 when creating media keys and normalizing imported or webhook watch records.
• Recover episode coordinates from titles such as S00E03 when incoming records omit separate season and episode fields.
• Recover missing show titles from stored IDs or sync telemetry so episode rows do not remain grouped as Unknown Show.
• Add test coverage for season 0 media keys and watch-record normalization.

v0.4.28

Chore - Split route and backup modules

• Split API handlers into dedicated route modules and moved scheduler/listener lifecycle out of the route table.
• Move backup and appearance settings logic into a dedicated frontend module.
• Tighten mobile backup settings layout and restore poster request in-flight tracking.
• Update architecture and module ownership docs.

v0.4.27

Chore - Implement repo improvement guardrails

• Rename the app package, Docker image, container, and startup log from plembfinfire to plembfin
• Remove the unused browser-side Now Playing probe and document the server-backed polling sources
• Add a focused node:test suite for parser phases, sync routing, loop detection, and media key formats
• Expand the build check to run tests and reject routed API handlers without an auth guard
• Warn operators when in-app credentials override ADMIN_USERNAME or ADMIN_PASSWORD env vars
• Make encrypted backup passphrase persistence opt-in for new saves while preserving existing scheduled backups
• Add a schema migration ledger, document cache scalability limits, and align README licensing with AGPL-3.0

v0.4.26

Chore - Overhaul documentation and remove all legacy backend references

• Added a complete documentation set under docs/ with a dedicated guide for every major feature: Plex, Emby, Jellyfin, dashboard, movies, TV shows, media detail, history and search, stats, backups, metadata sources, posters and artwork, settings, auth, frontend, and development
• Rebuilt the architecture guide as the first place to check before changing anything, with a full map of every file in the repository and a task router pointing to the right doc for each area
• Removed every remaining legacy cloud-backend reference from the project, including code comments, schema notes, ignore files, and old changelog entries, and renamed the server data repository module accordingly
• Replaced the outdated environment variable template with a commented list of every supported setting
• Expanded the README configuration reference with the media-server connection and sync-behaviour environment variables

v0.4.25

Fix - Resolve poster list scrolling in the edit images popup on mobile

• Converted .edit-image-dialog to a vertical flex container with 90vh fixed height on mobile
• Configured .edit-image-main to occupy remaining flex space with min-height: 0
• This ensures the poster/logo/background image search grid is constrained to the dialog height and becomes scrollable instead of overflowing and clipping

v0.4.24

Fix - Resolve TMDB metadata caching lookup for unwatched and directly-linked movies

• Fixed a bug where TMDB details were not resolved when editing images for movies not present in timeline history
• Enabled fallback lookup using state.moviesRaw and state.activeMovieTmdbId when resolving tmdbData for the edit dialog

v0.4.23

Fix - Mobile UI enhancements for media details and library views

• Added sticky topbars to movies, tvshows, and watch history pages on mobile
• Built mobile-optimized collapsible control panels for search, sort, and filter
• Arranged media detail action buttons on a single line in desktop mode
• Spaced media detail action buttons evenly across the full width on mobile
• Redesigned Edit Images dialog grid to show smaller, responsive images on mobile
• Repositioned platform app badges to sit directly below the title and ratings on mobile

v0.4.22

Fix - Specials episodes never rendered even when TVDB had episode data

• Episode rows for a show were only ever built for season_number > 0, so the Specials accordion always showed "No episode rows yet" even when TheTVDB had real episodes for season 0
• The progress-total exclusion for Specials is already handled separately downstream, so this restriction only needed to stay off the row-building loop

v0.4.21

Fix - Hide empty Specials seasons and stop gating episode data on a TMDB key

• Show pages no longer display a "Specials" season row when TheTVDB has no episodes cataloged for it, instead of an always-empty dead accordion
• Season and episode data is fully TVDB-backed (built-in key) and no longer requires the user to have a personal TMDB API key configured to load
• Corrected status messages that incorrectly blamed a missing TMDB key or TMDB metadata for season/episode data that actually comes from TheTVDB
• Bumped the TV details cache schema version so existing cached shows pick up the Specials filtering without waiting for the cache to expire

v0.4.20

Fix - Clicking Specials (season 0) in the show accordion did nothing

• Season 0 ("Specials") was silently untoggleable: the open/close check coerced the "no season selected" state via Number(null), which equals 0 and collided with the real season 0 id, so the very first click always looked like "already open" and closed nothing
• The season permalink URL also skipped the #season0 hash for the same falsy-zero reason
• Both now use explicit null checks so season 0 behaves like any other season

v0.4.19

Fix - Match TVDB artwork types by name instead of slug

• TheTVDB's series artwork type slugs are inconsistently pluralized (posters/backgrounds vs singular clearlogo), so matching by slug silently dropped all TVDB posters and backgrounds in the edit image dialog
• Matching by the type's name (always singular) instead resolves this

v0.4.18

Fix - Fall back to a TMDB title search when TheTVDB's TMDB id mapping is stale

• TV shows were silently missing TMDB-sourced cast, trailers, and images whenever TheTVDB's community-submitted TMDB id mapping pointed at a show that no longer resolves on TMDB
• The show details lookup now verifies that id and retries with a TMDB title search if it fails, instead of leaving those fields empty forever
• Documented the fallback behavior in the TV metadata architecture notes

v0.4.17

Fix - Repair broken TMDB artwork lookup and add TVDB artwork to the edit image dialog

• Fixed TMDB posters, logos, and backgrounds failing to load in the edit image dialog for TV shows when the show's TMDB ID couldn't be independently verified against TMDB
• The edit image dialog now also browses TheTVDB artwork (posters, backgrounds, and clear logos) for TV shows, alongside TMDB and the existing fanart.tv fallback
• Added a TVDB source badge to match the existing Fanart.tv badge styling

v0.4.16

Docs - Add community health files for GitHub community standards

• Add a Code of Conduct based on the Contributor Covenant
• Add a Contributing guide covering dev setup, project structure, and PR expectations
• Add bug report and feature request issue templates, plus a config linking security reports to private advisories
• Add a pull request template with a review checklist

v0.4.15

Docs - Recapture Now Playing, Part Watched, and search README screenshots from production

• Captured the Now Playing and Part Watched dashboard screenshots from the live server with real active sessions and in-progress items, blurring usernames for privacy
• Updated the search screenshot to use the phrase "Tom" instead of "Jack Ryan"

v0.4.14

Docs - Refresh README screenshots and document push workflow expectations

• Recaptured every README screenshot from the live app with current library data, split evenly between light and dark theme
• Updated the dashboard screenshot caption so it no longer claims active playback sessions when nothing is currently playing
• Documented in CLAUDE.md that origin/main routinely gains a CI changelog-bump commit right after a push, and how to reconcile that automatically

v0.4.13

Feature - Move Appearance settings into contextual sidebar menus

• Removed the standalone Appearance tab from Settings
• Added an Appearance link in the sidebar, styled like the other menu items, that only appears on the Dashboard or on a movie/show detail page
• Dashboard shows Card View / Poster View options; movie and show pages show toggles for Logo Art, Cast Members, Trailers & Clips, Reviews, Images, and Related Shows
• Options display as a list with icons, matching the highlight color used by the currently active menu item, and apply instantly without opening Settings
• Fixed a sidebar spacing bug where the gap above Settings was larger than the gaps between the other menu items above it

v0.4.12

Feature - Reorganize sidebar layout, enhance Clear Progress confirmation, and add app icon badges

• Moved Settings directly below Stats in the left sidebar instead of pinning it to the bottom
• Anchored the theme toggle and version number to the bottom of the sidebar, with the version shown above the toggle, and removed the divider line above it
• The Clear Progress confirmation now shows the media poster, title, episode, and watch progress, and clearly explains that it clears progress, marks the item unwatched, and syncs that status back to the originating and other connected media servers
• Removed the redundant "Action Confirmation" label from confirmation popups
• App Used badges on the dashboard, history, and now playing cards now show the Plex/Emby/Jellyfin icon alongside the platform name, matching the style used on media detail pages
• Moved the Stats page summary cards (Plays, Movies, TV Shows, Top Platform, Busiest Month) into the top of the right-hand column and arranged them across two full-width rows

v0.4.11

Fix - Clear progress and manual unwatch now propagate to the item's originating server

• Fixed a bug where clicking "Clear Progress" or manually marking an item unwatched failed to update the media server the item was originally played on
• Previously, only the other two servers received the update, leaving resume progress or watched state stuck on the source server
• Automatic unwatch propagation triggered by webhooks or Plex notifications is unaffected and continues to skip the reporting server as before

v0.4.10

Fix - Resolve layout alignment gap below biography on cast member profile pages

• Nest photos and credits back inside main profile content block
• Flow sections vertically with natural margins on desktop viewports
• Remove obsolete grid layout alignment constraints from style rules

v0.4.9

Fix - Customize section ordering and resolve layout spacing issues in media detail pages

• Order detail page sections as: Cast, Images, Trailers, Reviews
• Align and center facts rail and apps buttons horizontally on desktop
• Prevent genres text wrapping and fix vertical crashing on facts layout
• Solve JavaScript ReferenceError causing page load issues on movies details

v0.4.8

Fix - Restrict collapsible metadata and full-width profile layouts to mobile viewports

• Restore flat uncollapsible metadata rail on desktop views
• Keep cast photos and filmography inside the right-hand column on desktop
• Restrict collapsible details blocks and full-width layout grids to mobile only

v0.4.7

Fix - Optimize mobile view layout for cast member profiles and top-bar logo

• Rearrange filmography cards on mobile to stack vertically into 3 columns
• Align cast photos section to use full grid width and match filmography layout
• Increase mobile size of main profile photo and remove top padding gap
• Align top-bar brand header logo correctly on mobile viewports

v0.4.6

Fix - Optimize mobile layout on media details and improve TVDB cache TTL on misses

• Issue 1: Replace hamburger close icon with clean ✕ character instead of transformed spans
• Issue 2: Hide Search, Size controls on mobile, show only Sort option
• Issue 3: Restructure media detail page for mobile with centered poster, hidden logo, and stacked vertical layout for meta information
• Added collapsed overview with gradient fade effect for accordion-style appearance
• All changes mobile-only (≤760px) to preserve desktop layout
• Poster positioned in top left (35% width)
• Meta information (TMDB %, Seerr requests, status, dates, etc.) positioned in top right
• Description text below spanning full width
• Logo hidden on mobile
• No overlapping content
• Clean, organized mobile layout
• Center and group show logo/title, subtitle, and ratings next to poster in mobile view
• Move streaming app links directly next to poster under ratings
• Remove Open in label from streaming app links
• Remove Progress heading from TV show progress trackers
• Display full synopsis overview text without accordion truncation on mobile
• Make metadata details collapsible, collapsed by default, with custom centered toggle button
• Cache TVDB series resolution misses for 1 hour instead of 180 days to allow faster retries

v0.4.5

Fix - Show changelog entries as "Fix -" / "Feature -" instead of raw commit prefixes

• Changelog headlines used the raw conventional-commit prefix (e.g.
• Future entries are generated as "Fix - Pull season pills left" /
• Reformatted all 236 existing changelog entries the same way so

v0.4.4

Fix - Stop changelog from dropping earlier commits in a multi-commit push

• The changelog workflow only read GitHub's head_commit, so pushing
• Every commit in the push now contributes its bullet points (or its
• Documented the behavior in CLAUDE.md's push workflow so future

v0.4.3

Feature - Add movie collections and always-visible app quick-links

• Movie pages now show a Collection row with poster cards for other films in the same franchise (e.g. A Quiet Place, A Quiet Place Part II, A Quiet Place: Day One)
• Plex/Emby/Jellyfin "Open in" icons appear immediately on movie and TV pages (greyed out while checking) and become clickable once the app confirms the title exists on that server
• Fixed season availability pills showing a color that contradicted their own count (a fully-watched season could show a green pill reading "0/20 available") and consolidated the separate 4K pill into a small tag inside the main pill
• Fixed season rows floating toward the middle of the page instead of sitting close to the season title
• Fixed the unwatched-movie page layout splitting the poster/title from the details sidebar into two separate rows

v0.4.2

Fix - Pull season availability pills left instead of centre-floating

• Cap the season title column at 260px instead of an unbounded 1fr
• Only the next-airing column remains flexible, absorbing the leftover

v0.4.1

Fix - Reliable open-in-app icons and aligned season accordion columns

• Open in Plex/Emby/Jellyfin buttons use bundled icons instead of hotlinking the media server's favicon, which wasn't reliably served and left the buttons showing text only with no icon
• Season accordion rows (episode count, watched count, availability, next airing) now line up in fixed columns instead of shifting position depending on which fields are present for that season
• Verified column alignment on desktop and confirmed the row wraps cleanly without clipping on mobile

v0.4.0

Feature - Add open-in-app links and harden API security and reliability

• Movie and TV detail pages show Open in buttons that link directly to the item in Plex, Emby, or Jellyfin when it exists in that server's library
• Media server tokens and API keys are no longer sent to the browser; settings show a Configured placeholder and keep the saved credential when the field is left blank
• All outbound requests to media servers, metadata providers, and backup destinations now time out instead of hanging when a server is unresponsive
• Plex requests send the token as a header so it stays out of server access logs
• Malformed API requests return a clear Invalid JSON body error instead of a server error
• Server URLs pointing at cloud metadata endpoints are rejected when saving settings
• Faster full syncs: the Plex account lookup is cached instead of repeated for every item
• TheTVDB and Fanart.tv built-in project keys can be replaced via environment variables

v0.3.17

Feature - Add episode resolution badges and speed up availability lookups

• Season availability pills now match the rest of the site's pill style instead of a separate rounded-capsule look
• Fixed the "Available in 1080p" badge rendering shorter than its neighboring pills
• Each episode row on a TV show's page now shows its resolution (720p, 1080p, 4K, etc.) when it's available in a configured Plex/Emby/Jellyfin app
• Availability and resolution lookups are cached for 3 minutes per title, so reopening a detail page no longer re-queries every configured app on each open; submitting a Seerr request clears that title's cache immediately

v0.3.16

Fix - Exclude specials from TV show episode/season totals

• Specials (season 0) were being counted in a show's total episode/season count, causing the TV library grid to show an inflated total (e.g. 110/123) that disagreed with the show's own progress bar (110/110), which already excluded them
• Show progress totals (episode count, season count, watched percentage) now exclude specials consistently everywhere they're calculated
• Specials still appear as a "Specials" entry in the seasons list on a show's page so they remain browsable, they just no longer count toward the totals
• Previously cached show details and progress totals are automatically refreshed in the background so existing shows pick up the corrected counts without manual intervention

v0.3.15

Fix - Clear stale poster/backdrop after Fix Match rematch

• Fix Match invalidated the cached poster entry for a rematched movie or TV show but left the old poster/backdrop URL stamped on the watch record itself, and the poster endpoint serves a stored storage URL directly without checking the cache, so the previous (wrong) artwork kept being served indefinitely after a rematch
• Rematching a movie or TV show (including every episode during a TV rematch) now also clears its stored poster/backdrop/logo URLs so the correct artwork is fetched and cached on the next request

v0.3.14

Fix - Force refresh of TV show details cached before episode-total fix

• The previous fix that added TV show total-episode counts didn't bump the metadata cache schema version, so shows already cached kept returning stale details with no episode total (still showing "?" watched counts) until their cache entry naturally expired
• Bumped the cache schema version so all previously cached TV/movie details are refetched and pick up the corrected episode/season totals immediately

v0.3.13

Fix - Backfill missing TV show episode totals and refresh stale counts

• TV shows watched before the per-show progress cache existed (or added outside its incremental update path) never got an episode total computed, permanently showing "?" watched counts on the TV Shows page
• On startup, any show missing from the cache is now automatically queued for a background total-episode lookup alongside shows with a stale zero count
• The TV show list's in-memory cache now refreshes as soon as the background total-episode backfill finishes, instead of waiting for an unrelated watch event
• TheTVDB-sourced show details now report a total episode count, fixing counts that were stuck at zero after the switch to TheTVDB for TV metadata

v0.3.12

Fix - Restore season availability pills on TV show pages

• Season availability pills (1080p/4K available counts) stopped appearing on season accordions after the TheTVDB migration, because episode counts per season were never populated
• TheTVDB series lookup now fetches full episode data so each season's episode count can be computed
• Existing cached show metadata refreshes automatically on next view to pick up the corrected counts

v0.3.11

Fix - Prevent metadata reload when marking items unwatched

• Prevent eagerly pulling TMDB/TVDB metadata when deleting or marking episodes/movies unwatched
• Guard TMDB prefetch backgrounds to skip unwatched and unplayed sync actions

v0.3.10

Fix - Improve edit image dialog layout, sizing, and asset presentation

• Expand the edit image dialog width and lock it to a constant height to prevent layout shifts
• Fix transparent logo contrast using a photoshop-style mid-tone checkerboard background pattern
• Resolve specificity bug to display logo and backdrop assets at their correct larger sizes
• Prevent cards from stretching vertically inside the grid tracks
• Scale up the language and source badge pills for better readability

v0.3.9

Fix - Correct watched edit icon glyph

v0.3.8

Fix - Patch movie watched state in place

v0.3.7

Fix - Harden tvdb gateway requests

• Restrict TVDB gateway requests to known API endpoints instead of accepting arbitrary path strings.
• Validate TVDB series and season IDs before building upstream request URLs.
• Replace the TVDB API-key cache fingerprint with a stronger PBKDF2-SHA256 fingerprint to satisfy GitHub CodeQL.

v0.3.6

Docs - Clarify readme source wording

• Reword README metadata descriptions so first-time readers see the current TheTVDB/TMDB source split without historical context.
• Rephrase the default admin-password note as current behavior instead of upgrade-history wording.
• Add CLAUDE.md guidance requiring standalone docs copy and detailed commit bodies for user-visible changes.

v0.3.5

Fix - Reduce tvdb refresh traffic

• Cache TVDB search, series, and season responses with longer lifetimes for archived shows and shorter lifetimes for active/upcoming shows.
• Deduplicate simultaneous TVDB lookups so repeated page loads share one upstream request instead of launching parallel refreshes.
• Reuse cached TVDB details when a refresh fails, keeping show pages usable during temporary TVDB errors or rate limits.

v0.3.4

Fix - Add tv rematch tools

• Add TV show rematch controls that can search TheTVDB and update every episode in a show together.
• Add a maintenance tool to batch rematch existing TV shows after switching episode metadata to TheTVDB.
• Refresh cached show artwork and IDs after rematches so detail pages, season lists, and library rows use the corrected match.

v0.3.3

Fix - Correct TV show cache key and TVDB remote-ID matching after rematch

• getTvShowDetails() cached TV show details under a key derived from the caller's tmdb_id, but after Fix Match clears tmdb_id to force re-resolution, that key no longer matches what getTmdbSeason() looks up, so season data silently failed to load
• TheTVDB's remoteIds sourceName is "TheMovieDB.com", not "TheMovieDB" as assumed, so the automatic TMDB-ID lookup used whenever tmdb_id isn't already known (e.g. right after a TV show rematch) never actually resolved a match

v0.3.2

Feature - Source TV show episode data from TheTVDB instead of TMDB

• TV shows now pull season/episode numbering, titles, air dates, and artwork from TheTVDB, which is more accurate than TMDB for many shows; cast, trailers, reviews, and recommendations still come from TMDB
• Movies are unaffected and remain 100% TMDB-sourced
• Added a "TheTVDB" tab under Settings -> API Keys with an optional personal API key (a built-in key works out of the box, like the existing Fanart.tv setup)
• "Fix Match" on a TV show now searches TheTVDB and rematches every episode of the show at once, instead of only patching a single record
• Fixed a CSP gap that silently blocked TheTVDB artwork from loading
• Existing cached show data is automatically refreshed to the new source on next view, no manual steps needed

v0.3.1

Fix - Correct mobile dashboard and stats layout issues

• Shrink dashboard watch-history poster cards on mobile so they fit the screen instead of overflowing and overlapping the section below
• Fix stats "Plays" number wrapping mid-digit on narrow screens
• Fix Watch Activity chart month labels overlapping into unreadable text on mobile
• Make the mobile nav menu a proper full-screen overlay instead of pushing page content down

v0.3.0

Fix - Repair dark theme color corruption and search poster loading

• Removed a leftover CSS override that broke dark mode's blue/yellow accents and background shade across the whole app
• Fixed search results never loading posters for local movies and TV shows
• Added a loading indicator to the Stats page so it no longer flashes "0" before data arrives
• Fixed mismatched border/text coloring on the "Mark unwatched" button
• Consolidated repeated hardcoded colors into shared theme tokens
• Cleaned up duplicated inline styles on filter checkboxes and the cast member modal
• Bumped version to 0.3.0

v0.2.83

Fix - Stop Seerr season picker from re-opening itself on submit

• The "Request selected" button carried the same data attributes the global click handler uses to detect request buttons, so submitting bubbled into that handler and reopened a fresh picker instead of showing the result
• Requests now complete with the expected success/error toast and the dialog closes correctly

v0.2.82

Fix - Widen Seerr season picker and default to latest season only

• Season request dialog is now bigger and a consistent size for both standard and 4K requests
• Only the latest missing season is pre-selected by default instead of every missing season

v0.2.81

Fix - Repair Seerr TV requests and add a season picker

• Fixed whole-show Seerr requests for TV crashing on Seerr's server because no seasons field was sent
• Requesting a TV show (standard or 4K) now opens a season picker showing each season's availability, instead of blindly requesting the whole series
• Per-season "Request season" buttons on individual seasons are unchanged

v0.2.80

Fix - Retry npm ci in security workflow to survive transient network errors

• The npm audit job was failing on ECONNRESET during npm ci; it now retries up to 3 times with backoff before failing the job

v0.2.79

Fix - Place season availability pills inline with episode meta text

• Availability/4K pills now sit on the same line as episode count, watched count, and next-airing text instead of wrapping to their own row

v0.2.78

Fix - Move season availability pills next to season info and stop flagging watched episodes as missing

• Availability/4K pills now sit under the season title/episode count instead of being pushed to the far edge of the row
• Watched episodes no longer show as red/missing availability status just because the library hasn't caught up

v0.2.77

Fix - Improve readability of season metadata on TV show pages

• Split season episode count, watched count, and next airing text into separate segments instead of one run-on string
• Increased font size and reduced weight of season meta text
• Season title and metadata now stack on separate lines instead of being crammed together

v0.2.76

Security - Harden poster cache, Seerr requests, secrets, and admin defaults

• Edit Images dialog now pulls posters and logos from Fanart.tv alongside TMDB, with source badges (TMDB / Fanart) on each image tile
• Edit Images dialog widened from 680px to 980px with taller image grid and two-column logo layout
• New /api/fanart-images endpoint returns all Fanart.tv posters and logos for a given movie or TV show
• TV show page breadcrumb now shows show name (e.g. "TV Shows - Aussie Gold Hunters")
• Season accordion sections made virtually transparent
• Filmography filter and sort controls replaced with pill toggle buttons (Movies / TV Shows, Popularity / Newest / Oldest)

v0.1.48

Feature - Add Fanart.tv integration and filmography grid overhaul

• Add Fanart.tv as a parallel fallback source for posters, backdrops, and logo art alongside TMDB
• Query TMDB and Fanart.tv simultaneously to reduce latency and share load
• Built-in project API key included; optional personal key configurable in Settings → API Keys
• Add Fanart.tv settings panel in API Keys with attribution links to fanart.tv and TMDB
• Fix movies and TV shows explorer pagination stopping early due to scroll-arm guard
• Overhaul cast member filmography: 4-column grid with 150px posters, details to the right, lazy-load on scroll
• Raise /api/tmdb-poster and /api/tmdb-profile rate limits from 30 to 300 requests/minute
• Add Thank You section to README crediting TMDB and Fanart.tv

v0.1.47

Fix - Throttle TMDB poster downloads to prevent rate-limit 429 errors

• Add concurrency semaphore capping simultaneous TMDB image downloads to 8 (was unlimited)
• Add per-path inflight deduplication so duplicate requests share one download instead of firing separately
• Stop writing permanent failure records to poster_cache on transient 429/503 responses so the next request retries immediately
• Remove redundant markPosterMissing calls from handleTmdbPoster and handleTmdbProfile that were overwriting 24h failed status with 7-day missing status

v0.1.46

Fix - Replace inline event handlers to comply with Content Security Policy

• Remove all onclick/onerror attributes from dynamically-rendered HTML templates
• Add delegated document click handler for cast cards, trailers, review toggles, and person photos
• Add delegated document error handler (capture phase) for image fallbacks
• Replace onerror attributes with data-err values (fav, hide, hide-parent, hide-closest-btn, hide-show-next)

v0.1.45

Feature - Overhaul Edit Images dialog with tabbed layout and better logo display

• Rename "Edit Image" button to "Edit Images" on movie and TV show pages
• Split dialog into four tabs: Poster, Logo / Title Art, YouTube Show, Custom Image
• YouTube URL fetcher and custom image URL are now isolated to their own tabs
• Logo grid switches to single-column full-width layout with natural aspect ratio (no more forced 16:9)
• Language badge shown under each logo so users can identify English vs other languages
• Status message warns when no English logo is found and falls back to other languages
• Poster tab falls back to showing the current saved poster URL when TMDB has no results
• Build minimal tmdbData hint from show/movie record when TMDB details cache is cold
• Bump TMDB details schema version to 4 to force re-fetch of image data on stale cache entries

v0.1.44

Fix - Remove browser-side direct media server session polling

• Removed direct browser fetch calls to Plex, Emby, and Jellyfin that violated CSP connect-src policy
• Server scheduler already polls live sessions every minute via fetchLiveSessions, making browser-side probing redundant
• Eliminates API key exposure in browser network traffic (Plex tokens and Emby/Jellyfin keys were visible in browser requests)

v0.1.43

Fix - Correct stats plays count and promote Stats to primary nav

• Stats "Plays" card now shows movie-only or episode-only count when filtered, instead of the combined total
• Moved Stats nav tab from the "More" section into the primary sidebar navigation

v0.1.42

Feature - Add stats review reports

• Add year, month, and all-time stats review reports with poster-ranked media
• Add media and period filters for movies, TV shows, and combined watch history
• Show period-specific first and last plays, platform breakdowns, and watch activity
• Make stats report media cards open their movie or TV show pages
• Document the stats review workflow in README, architecture docs, and in-app help

v0.1.41

Feature - Add settings changelog view

• Make the sidebar version a centered link to Settings Changelog
• Add a changelog settings tab backed by changelog.json
• Keep Help focused by hiding topics already covered in Settings guidance
• Document settings tab routing in the architecture guide

v0.1.40

Fix - Show x/x watched on TV show grid cards and self-heal missing episode totals

• Move watched count from overlay badge above poster to plain text below title, matching movie card date style
• Also show last watched date below the watched count on TV show grid cards
• Always render watched count as x/x format; fall back to x/? when total is not yet known
• On server startup, queue any shows with total_episodes of 0 for a background TMDB refresh so the cache self-heals without a full rebuild

v0.1.39

Docs - Remove push-to-git workflow section from README

• Section belongs in CLAUDE.md only; no end-user value in README

v0.1.38

Docs - Update README backup section and tighten push-to-git README check rule

• Remove stale backup destinations (Local/Synced Folder, S3, WebDAV, OneDrive, Dropbox) from README - only Backblaze B2 remote is supported now
• Update Key Features blurb to reflect local + Backblaze B2 only
• Add backup destinations and Key Features rows to the CLAUDE.md doc-sync table
• Add explicit reminder to always read README sections before assuming they are current

v0.1.37

Fix - Simplify backup settings UI and fix light-theme input styling

• Fix light-theme: input fields in backup destination card were rendering with dark backgrounds due to a hardcoded .field override; added html.light-mode .field and input[type="number"] rules to counter it
• Remove all remote backup destination types except Backblaze B2 (dropped folder, WebDAV, S3, OneDrive, Dropbox from UI and JS)
• Split backup settings into two independent rows: Automatic Local Backups and Automatic Remote Backups, each with its own contextual help panel on the right
• Move Backblaze B2 setup guide from inline destination card into the right-side help panel

v0.1.36

Fix - Rename existing node user to plembfin instead of creating new uid 1000

• node:22-slim ships a 'node' user at uid 1000; useradd -u 1000 fails with exit 4
• Use usermod/groupmod to rename the existing user/group to plembfin instead

v0.1.35

Fix - Add buildx setup for Docker attestation support and sync CLAUDE.md

• Added docker/setup-buildx-action@v3 before build-push in all three workflow jobs
• The default docker driver does not support provenance/SBOM attestations; buildx container driver does
• Also applied npm rebuild native modules fix to docker-publish.yml
• Updated CLAUDE.md README sync table to include README.md in pre-push checklist

v0.1.34

Fix - Rebuild native modules after npm ci --ignore-scripts in CI

• npm ci --ignore-scripts skips better-sqlite3 and sharp postinstall steps
• Added npm rebuild better-sqlite3 sharp after install in both workflow jobs
