All chose by recipe Step 4 picker (highest DownloadCount among non-HI / non-MT
/ non-AI / non-Forced, prefer 23.976 fps). Picker behaved consistently — no
manual override needed for S01.

## Breakage

After S01 passed, S02E01 search returned 0 results. Verified:

- ProviderIds for S02E01 in library = `Imdb=tt0511631 Tvdb=306168` (correct for "Bullocks to Stan")
- Plugin quota: 13 / 20 remaining (not exhausted)
- Plugin log shows no error — silent zero
- Same recipe worked 7 times in a row immediately prior — not a script bug
- Sample-tested S02E02 / S02E08 / S02E13 → all 0 results

Root cause: library numbering is Hulu/DSP (S1=7), OpenSubtitles indexes Fox
airing order (S1=23). Plugin queries OS with `(parent_imdb_id, season,
episode)` so library `S=2 E=1` maps to a Fox cell that doesn't exist on OS
in that S/E slot, even though the per-episode IMDB id (`tt0511631`) is real
and indexed on OS by Fox order as `S=1 E=8`.

The plugin doesn't expose per-episode-IMDB lookup, only the S/E combo path,
so there's no flag we can flip to make this work.

## Recipe amendments triggered

- **v1 → v2**: process needs a season-numbering pre-check (Step 3), and a
  fallback fetch path that doesn't rely on plugin S/E mapping. See
  `CHANGELOG.md` v2 design choice between direct OS REST (recommended) and
  library re-numbering.

Note: 8 picks are 29.97 fps. SRT timestamps are absolute time, so this should
not desync on a 23.976 fps source provided NTSC durations match. Confirm via
recipe Step 6 sync sample on at least one 29.97-pick episode.

## Followups

- [ ] visually verify sample S01 sub plays in sync (recipe §6)
- [ ] visually verify sample S02 29.97-fps pick plays in sync (e.g. S02E03)
- [ ] tomorrow: sub S02E13–E16 (4 eps) + start S03 (19 eps total today + tomorrow)
- [ ] day after: finish S03 + S04 (16 eps)
