Connects MDBList through its OAuth device-code grant, registered as a
Device Code app so no client secret or redirect URI ships in the binary
and TV, mobile and desktop all use the same flow.
MDBList omits `verification_uri_complete`, but its device page seeds the
code field from a `user_code` query parameter and the sign-in redirect
preserves the query string, so the activation link is built locally and
the dialog's open button lands on a filled-in form instead of an empty
one. A server-supplied complete URL still wins if one ever appears.
Poll state is read from the response body rather than the status code:
`authorization_pending` and `slow_down` both arrive as HTTP 400, and a
missing grant answers 404 `device_not_found`.
Writes go out as real-time `/scrobble/*` reports plus `/sync/watched`
for the marks that never pass through the player, with ratings on
`/sync/ratings`. Matching uses IMDb and TMDb only — MDBList's id block
has no `tvdb` field, so a TVDB-only item is skipped rather than written
under an empty id block.
Plex only builds the `Guid` array for the Plex Movie / Plex TV Series
agents. A library still on a legacy agent answers with the scalar `guid`
alone, so `fetchExternalIds` returned nothing for it and every consumer
went quiet: trackers logged "no external IDs" and skipped the write,
manual ratings showed "Not available", the detail screen dropped its
watchlist button, and Continue Watching stopped collapsing duplicate
copies. The reverse lookup already read that scalar; only the forward
path ignored it.
Read both shapes from the one request the method already makes, with the
array winning per field and the scalar filling the rest.
HAMA identifies anime by AniDB id and nothing else, which no id set could
carry. AniDB is the Fribb mapping's own primary key, so it now travels on
`ExternalIds` and indexes those rows directly — 7177 of them expose no
tvdb/tmdb/imdb at all and were unreachable by any other path. Only plain
`anidb-` maps: `anidb2`..`anidb9` group several AniDB entries under one
TVDB-numbered show, so the guid names the root entry only.
Two guards keep the new id where it means something. It is trusted for
season 1, because that mode puts the anime there and its specials in
season 0, while a higher season means the library is numbered by TVDB
instead. And it resolves nothing for Trakt and Simkl, which never map
anime and cannot address an AniDB id, so they keep reporting no ids
rather than failing silently further down. `hasCatalogIds` marks the
callers that can only speak IMDb/TMDB/TVDB.

The wrong-type recovery only covered reads that went through a
BaseSharedPreferencesService instance. The three stores that hold
credentials read the shared cache directly, so a mistyped value there
still threw a raw TypeError or, for Seerr, was swallowed by a catch-all
and reported as "no session" — the registry documented protection it did
not actually provide.
readPreferenceTolerantly now takes the cache, so CredentialVault,
TrackerAccountStore and SeerrSessionStore get the same classification as
the settings layer. CredentialVault's post-write re-read moves outside
its catch: a wrong-typed value written by another isolate was swallowed
there, and the process then returned a key that never durably landed,
making every ciphertext written under it unreadable on the next launch.
Those stores are consulted long after startup, where a throw is an
unhandled provider error rather than a repair prompt, so SettingsService
initialization now walks the cached key set once and reads every
sensitive key. That puts the failure inside a fatal gate step while the
store is still open and a surgical single-key repair is possible.
The remaining direct reads in settings and storage are routed too; the
only ones left are the library-density dual-type migration, which probes
both types deliberately, and an untyped switch that is type-safe by
construction.
Trakt was the one service outside the tracker abstraction. TraktScrobbleService
re-implemented the whole playback lifecycle beside TrackerCoordinator, and
TraktSyncService pushed watched state from its own WatchStateNotifier
subscription, so the player called two objects at every lifecycle point and one
watch could be written twice. TraktTracker now implements RealtimeScrobbleTracker
like Simkl; the duplicated player call sites collapse to one each, and Trakt
shares the coordinator's ID resolver instead of re-fetching show ids every
episode.
Capabilities are split so a tracker declares what it is rather than being
special-cased: ScrobblePolicy carries each service's own resend/seek rules,
EpisodeHistoryTracker names the remote row a per-item history write targets, and
SeriesProgressTracker covers one-counter-per-series services. Writes from all
four trackers go through a shared TrackerWriteQueue, generalised from the
Trakt-only queue, with the legacy Trakt payload migrated on load. Trakt becomes
the fourth TrackersProvider slot and TraktAccountProvider is deleted, so one
object owns the active session per profile.
Two failure paths found while consolidating are fixed here too.
The queue's retries only ran on profile bind, connect and app foreground, so a
network blip mid-session left queued watches waiting for the next foreground.
OfflineModeProvider now notifies on connectivity changes, not just offline-state
or WiFi-flag changes, and main.dart flushes the queue when the network returns.
The queue also counted every failure toward the five attempts that permanently
drop an item, so a rate limit or a service having a bad hour could discard a
pending watch - the loss the queue exists to prevent. Only an answer about the
write itself now spends an attempt: 4xx counts, while rate limits, 5xx,
recoverable token-refresh failures and requests that never arrived do not. A
back-off answer also defers that service for the rest of the flush, so a queue
holding many rows does not fire all of them at a service that just asked for
quiet.
Simkl only heard about an item once playback crossed the media server's
watched threshold, so stopping partway recorded nothing at all: no resumable
position, no watch. Drive Simkl's /scrobble/start, /pause and /stop from the
player lifecycle instead, carrying the measured progress. Seeks report
nothing, as Simkl asks.
The terminal stop owns watched state for in-player playback, so real-time
trackers are excluded from the threshold markWatched fan-out and one watch
never produces two writes. Progress is reported as measured — it doubles as
the user's resume position — so when a server threshold configured below
Simkl's own 80% rule would leave the watch unrecorded, the tracker records it
through /sync/history rather than inflating progress. Manual, container,
offline-replay and external-player marks keep using /sync/history. Only
/scrobble/stop accepts a 409, which is the sole action documented to return
one.
Reports go out one at a time because Simkl serialises scrobble writes per
user and fails queued ones with a 400; overflow sheds the oldest non-terminal
report so an episode swap cannot drop the previous item's stop. A playback
session is pinned to the account bound when it began and every send re-checks
that binding, so a profile switch or a disconnect/reconnect can neither
redirect a queued report nor misfile the watched fallback.
Also close the paths that lost the terminal report entirely: app exit flushes
it instead of dropping it, the desktop window button goes through the app
shutdown rather than exit(0), a detached VOD player reports a stop, and a
finished item reports completion at EOF instead of waiting for teardown. A
session that opened at 0% is still closed on stop, or Simkl keeps showing the
item as playing until its runtime elapses.

Four sections of the catalog detail screen spent more room than their data
justified.
Franchise relations drew one hub shelf per label. Real payloads make that
absurd: MAL returns twelve relations for Attack on Titan across six labels,
and "Side story" and "Sequel" each hold exactly one title, so each spent a
header, a scroll row and one card. Flatten the labelled groups into one
"Related titles" section of compact rows — poster thumb, label, title and year
— that flow into columns on wide viewports. D-pad moves through the grid by
index and still hands off to the cast strip above and the recommendations
shelf below, which keeps its shelf because taste-based recommendations are
meant to be browsed.
Drop the MAL picture gallery. It was a horizontal strip of unfocusable poster
variants of the title you are already looking at, and it cost a page-height of
scroll; the `pictures` field comes back out of the detail request with it.
Draw attributed scores behind their own brand mark where the source has one,
the way the media detail screen already does: Rotten Tomatoes fresh/rotten and
upright/spilled, IMDb and TMDB, each on the scale that source publishes.
Sources with no mark (critic, audience, tracker scores) keep their written
label. Plex's own badge state is derived from the 60% tomatometer threshold it
encodes in `image.rating.ripe`.
Flow the definition rows — original title, studios, country, budget, box
office, crew — into two or three columns once the window is wide enough.
A 1440-wide window drew a 140-pixel label, a short value and 1,000 pixels of
nothing per fact.
Verified against live MAL and Plex Discover payloads on macOS: the Attack on
Titan page drops from 4,082 to 2,115 logical pixels, Dune: Part Two from 1,282
to 1,154.
Explore shelf cards drew a poster, a title and a year. An audit of all six
catalog sources found the rest was lost at two boundaries — the wire-to-DTO
mapping and the DTO-to-CatalogItem mapping — and then simply not drawn: the
grid card fell through every branch of buildMetadataSubtitle to the year-only
case, while the list card used by search already composed certification,
runtime and rating from fields the synthesized MediaItem already held.
Extend CatalogItem with the neutral facts every provider had been dropping:
attributed rating sources, leaderboard ranks that keep their season window,
audience counters that keep their timeframe, broadcast slots, next-episode air
times, server availability and request state, exact release dates, alternate
titles, format, source material, studios, countries, languages, credits, tags,
links, artwork variants, play state, gallery art and background prose. Replace
fetchCast and fetchRelated with one fetchDetail returning the enriched item,
its cast, its recommendations and labelled franchise relations without adding
a request: sources needing two calls keep two and run them concurrently with
isolated failures.
Map those fields in all six sources, widening only field selections that cost
no extra round trip — MAL's fields list, AniList's selection set and a bounded
row cast that lets detail skip its character call, Trakt's guest stars, Seerr's
language parameter and TMDB size ladder, and Plex's includeUserState. Plex hub
artwork widens only on TV, where the spotlight is its only consumer, because it
doubles the payload.
Render them: a rating-first caption and bounded badges on the shelf card,
labelled sections on the detail screen, provider hub styles and result counts
on shelves, and logo, banner and accent art in the TV spotlight.
Verified against live Plex, AniList, Simkl and MAL responses, and on a Pixel 7.
MAL/AniList season entries never matched the library show they belong to.
Both backends use the catalog title as a server-side filter before verifying
external ids, and a title like "Mushoku Tensei: Jobless Reincarnation Season 2"
cannot reach a show stored as "Mushoku Tensei: Jobless Reincarnation". Measured
against a 267-show Plex library, 3 of 113 mapped sequel entries matched.
The reverse lookup now takes two ordered title candidates instead of one: the
entry's own title and its season-stripped form, with typographic punctuation
normalised because both servers miss on a curly apostrophe. That matches 77 of
113. Widening it further to romaji/native/synonym variants reached only 81, so
the cap stays at two rather than spending up to five more requests per lookup
that finds nothing.
A sequel's year is its own season's, not the parent show's, so the +/-1 year
window is dropped for one - it would exclude the very show being looked for.
That also keeps a miss at the two requests the single-title lookup already
spent. A Plex Discover item additionally skips the title search entirely by
filtering on the plex:// guid its own rating key already is, which costs no
extra request and needs no cloud lookup.
A season 2+ entry only matches when the server really has that season, which
costs one children fetch on a match. Only a season both TVDB and TMDB agree on
is gated: which provider a library numbers its seasons by is a server setting
no dataset supplies and none of it is inferable from the ids an item exposes,
so a disagreeing reference is left ungated rather than gated on a guess.
The match cache is keyed per source and per entry rather than by canonical id,
which every season of a series shares: all five Mushoku Tensei entries collapse
to imdb:tt13293588, so one season-gated result would have poisoned the rest.
Entries whose Fribb row carries no provider id at all remain unmatched. That is
an upstream mapping gap, not something to guess around with extra lookups.

Consolidates duplicated logic behind shared implementations — paginated
grid tabs, focus chrome, cached remote stores, sheet selection columns,
the server artifact store and a test fixture layer — and removes code
that had become unreachable. Net reduction of about 5,500 lines with no
behaviour change.
Where a fix had landed separately in code that moved into a shared
helper, the fix was re-applied inside the helper rather than left behind
in the copy that went away.
Deduplicates the hand-rolled coalescing/caching maps, the Plex client cast,
the missing-serverId event guard and the progress-failure backoff, and drops
the MusicPlaybackService availability gate, which could never fail in
production.
- PaginatedCardGridTabState: the collections and playlists tabs were 95%
identical; they now supply only pageSize/fetchPage/idOf instead of each
duplicating the grid, memo, inflation budget and focus wiring.
- EtagCachedRemoteStore: the anime-lists and fribb mapping stores now share
one download/cache/isolate-parse/conditional-GET lifecycle.
- FocusableTileStateMixin manages its own initState/didUpdateWidget/dispose
instead of requiring every caller to forward three lifecycle hooks.
Also drops unused ServerCapabilities entries and dead code in
focusable_list_tile and music/track_row.
Introduces shared seams for paginated views, D-pad reorder, media control
routing, async singletons and the device method channel, then points the
open-coded copies at them.
Also removes unused models and duplicated provider/server plumbing, folds
the twice-implemented artifact store in the server, and factors the
repeated Flutter toolchain prologue in CI into a composite action.
Several pairs of near-identical code paths differ in one load-bearing
line. Each site now carries a comment naming the invariant that forces it
apart, backed by a characterization test so a future deduplication fails
loudly instead of silently changing behaviour.
Pinned: focusable wrapper vs. chip D-pad activation policy, profile
connection cleanup's raw-id vs. ServerId-typed server projections, live TV
tab loaders, video player display matching and playback service wiring,
track selection container ordering, tracker HTTP client status ladder, and
the MediaServerHttpClient shutdown/cancellation contract versus
ManagedHttpClient's closing guard.
New tests:
test/focus/dpad_activation_policy_test.dart
test/services/track_selection_container_ordinal_test.dart
test/services/trackers/tracker_status_ladder_test.dart
test/utils/media_server_http_client_shutdown_test.dart
Replace the per-tracker json_serializable session classes and account stores with a shared TrackerSession (service-aware persisted validation), a single TrackerAccountStore, a shared TrackerHttpClient, and an AnimeListTrackerBase mixin for MAL/AniList. Scope the per-service rebind guard so a disconnect can't abort a racing profile load. Add migration-safety, MAL refresh, episode-count cache, and content-type tests.
