The sync avoids duplicate processing, handles re-added items and retryable errors, prevents overlapping runs, and adds PostgreSQL and SQLite migrations with expanded tests. ChangesWatchlist synchronization
Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to The change prevents deleted watchlist titles from being requested again by persisting per-user and per-season handling state. A failed state save after request creation can leave synchronization state incomplete, and the 300-second timestamp cache can delay recognition of a remove-and-re-add, so the PR is mergeable with explicit owner awareness of these bounded correctness risks.

Array.prototype.sortwithout a comparator compares string forms. The current fixtures only use single-digit seasons, so the assertions pass.

Pull request overview
Adds persistent “watchlist entry” tracking to Plex watchlist sync so that once an item (and, for TV, specific seasons) has been acted on, subsequent sync runs don’t re-request it unless the user removes and re-adds the item (as indicated by Plex’s watchlistedAt timestamp).
Changes:
- Introduces
WatchlistSyncEntry/WatchlistSyncEntrySeasonentities plus Postgres/SQLite migrations to persist per-user watchlist handling state (including handled seasons for shows). - Updates watchlist sync logic to gate requests on
(user, tmdbId, mediaType, watchlistedAt)and to request only newly-added seasons for TV shows. - Adds Plex API support for retrieving
watchlistedAtper watchlist item and expands unit tests to cover the new gating behavior.

Deleting a title that was still on someone's watchlist got it re-requested on the next sync and on every sync after that, as the only thing sync looked at was the media status. Entries are now recorded per user with the watchlistedAt timestamp Plex reportes, so an entry is acted on once. Removing a title from the watchlist and adding it back produces a new timestamp, which is a new entry, so it gets requested again. Shows track which seasons were handled, so new seasons still come through and re-adding the series resets it. fix 3222

Description
Important
Stacked on #3391 since that cleans up sqlite migration issue we have had for ages. Review that first!
Watchlist sync only looked at media status. Deleting a title that was still on someone's watchlist put it right back on the next run, forever (this is intended behaviour.
This PR adds a feature so that sync now tracks the watchlist entry itself: user, item, and the per-user
watchlistedAttimestamp Plex reports. An entry is acted on once. Because it's not keyed on media status, deleting the file, deleting the request, and clearing media data all leave it alone and the only way to re-request it is to remove the title from the watchlist and adding it back so that it gives a new timestamp and triggers a fresh request.Shows track which seasons the entry covered, since Plex only watchlists the whole series. New seasons still come through, deliberately deleted seasons stay deleted, and re-adding the series resets everything.
On upgrade to this version, an entry with no record falls back to request history: an auto-request created after the watchlist add means sync already handled it, so it's recorded rather than re-triggered. Without this, every existing deleted-but-watchlisted title gets one extra download on the first sync after upgrading.
#3072 is untouched. Its DELETED carve-out in
MediaRequest.requeststill stands, so a user who had a title auto-requested and deleted isn't locked out of getting it again. This just adds a sync gate above it.Still limited to the 20 most recently added items, since
getWatchlisthas never paginated. Verified on a live account thatwatchlistedAtdoes change on remove-and-re-add, which the whole design depends on.How Has This Been Tested?
