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.
The sheet collapsed an item to `Media.first` / `MediaSources.first` and
rendered a fixed set of rows, so split files, extra versions, per-track
properties, HDR classification and Dolby Vision were all invisible.
Model the payload the way both servers shape it — versions own parts,
parts own streams — and project every property either backend populates
onto `MediaStreamDetails`. The field set comes from sweeping both test
servers in full through the clients' own request shapes (Plex 6842
Media / 6842 Part / 39864 Stream entries, Jellyfin 6349 sources / 37763
streams / 61224 attachments), so file presence, Dolby Vision layers,
dynamic range, sample rate, spatial audio, sidecar provenance, embedded
attachments, rotation and the lyric stream type all survive. A coverage
test fails when a server key is neither carried, folded into a sibling,
nor excluded with a reason.
File Info also stopped trusting the shared `/library/metadata/{id}`
cache row: `getPlaybackExtras` writes it without `includeStreams` /
`checkFiles`, so the sheet could render with no stream table at all.
Detect that shape and refetch once under the request context captured
before the cache read, so the outgoing token and the cache namespace
stay on one profile.
Rework the layout to match: a summary chip row, then flat tonal cards
with a two-column field grid that collapses to one column on narrow
viewports, per-stream cards with flag chips, and a copyable monospace
path row. The card fill is a tonal step off the text colour rather than
the `bg` token, which is one shade from the sheet surface on OLED.
