Plex Explore showed only the Watchlist row. `/hubs/sections/watchlist`
answers with placeholder hubs — every entry carries `placeholder: true`,
`size: 0` and no `Metadata` — so `fetchHubs` mapped each one to an empty
page and dropped all of them. That is true no matter what the profile has
watchlisted; the shelves never rendered.
Read `/hubs/sections/home` instead, the section Plex's own web client
renders on its Home > Trending tab, and hydrate each placeholder from its
own key (six at a time). `directory` shelves list browse categories and
`clip` shelves list trailers, neither of which becomes a catalog item, so
they are skipped before spending a request. A shelf that fails degrades to
the ones that succeeded; a pass where every shelf failed still throws.
Discover ignores container offsets on hub keys and truncates with `limit`
instead, so a hub is one page: View All takes the whole shelf in a single
request rather than replaying page one, and hub requests drop `Media` and
`Image` elements the catalog layer never reads.
