+"""Plex: make cast/crew names searchable
+
+Revision ID: 0046_plex_people_search
+Revises: 0045_plex_filter_meta
+Create Date: 2026-07-06
+
+Adds `people_text` (the item's cast + director names, space-joined) and folds it into the generated
+`search_vector` at weight B — between the title (A) and the summary (C). So the top search box now
+finds titles by an actor/director name and ranks those above films that merely mention the name in
+their synopsis. A generated column's expression can't be altered in place, so we drop + recreate it
+(and its GIN index). `people_text` is populated on the next Plex sync.
