- app/plex/sync.py: full reconcile of enabled movie/show sections into plex_*
  (upsert by rating_key). Reuses Plex's own codec info to classify browser
  playability (direct/remux/transcode) — no ffprobe. Movies + episodes become
  playable leaves; shows/seasons mirrored for the drill-down.
- routes/plex.py: GET /libraries, /browse (FTS search + sort + paging, movie
  leaves or show cards), /show/{rk} (seasons+episodes, per-user state), /image
  (proxies Plex art, no duplication); admin POST /sync. All auth'd, demo-allowed.
- scheduler: plex_sync job (interval settings.plex_sync_interval_min).
- Verified against the real server: 2 libs, 3206 movies, 260 shows/961 seasons/
  14768 episodes synced in 13s; FTS search + drill-down work. Playability:
  ~1% direct, 89% remux, 6% transcode (informs P2/P3).

+"""Mirror a locally-reachable Plex library into Siftlode's own catalog (plex_* tables).
+
+Playback is from the local physical file, so this only mirrors METADATA + the physical-media facts
+(codecs/container/path) needed to browse, search, and later play. It reuses Plex's own codec info
+(no ffprobe needed) to classify each item's browser playability. Movies + episodes become playable
+LEAF rows (plex_items); shows/seasons are mirrored for the drill-down + episode ordering.
+
+The sync is a full reconcile of the enabled sections (upsert by rating_key). Pruning of items that
+disappeared from Plex is intentionally left for later (a follow-up can diff rating_keys per library).
+Cast + intro/credit markers are fetched lazily on the item-detail/player path (P2), not here.
