Original-release bitmap subs (PGS, VobSub, dvd_subtitle) are first-class, not stop-gaps. They're the canonical studio render — bitmap encoding is just a format choice, not a quality compromise. OCR'd or AI-rebuilt sidecars introduce transcription error that the source doesn't have. STYLE.md changes: - New "Source priority" section with 4 tiers: original text > original bitmap > trusted text rips > WhisperX rebuild. - "What lands on disk" loosened: at least one English stream (embedded OR sidecar), keep embedded codec as-is, sidecar still .srt. - New "OCR bitmap -> text" section documenting pgsrip recipe as an optional UX-nicety augmentation, not a correctness fix. - "Why these rules" now explains why original > pretty (esp. for older shows like Futurama S1-3 / early Archer where the master is the only authoritative source and upscale artifacts already dominate). STOPGAP-SUBS.md: header note clarifying bitmap-from-disc is NOT a stop-gap; lists Lilo & Stitch (2002) and Archer (2009) S02 as examples of correct-as-shipped library entries. |

playbooks/ — repeatable acquisition workflows
Runbook-style playbooks for repeatable ARRFLIX ops — subtitles, importing media, artwork, metadata, episode stills, and any other recurring acquisition or maintenance procedure. Each playbook is a standalone recipe Claude Code (or a human operator) can execute end-to-end.
This folder holds the canonical recipes for acquiring external content for
the ARRFLIX library: subtitles, artwork, metadata, episode stills, etc.
Internal ops (encoding, importing, theming) stay in bin/ and docs/.
Each playbook is its own sub-folder with three files:
| File | Purpose |
|---|---|
README.md |
The canonical recipe. Step-by-step, executable by Claude Code. Always reflects the latest version. |
CHANGELOG.md |
Why the recipe changed, version-by-version. One entry per breakage that forced a revision. |
runs/<show>.md |
Evidence log: what happened when this recipe was applied to a specific show. |
Recipes evolve via the iteration model: apply to a show, succeed or break, amend the recipe to handle the new case + every prior case, retry. A recipe that "just works" is one that has survived every show in the library without amendment for a full sweep.
