Adds processes/ umbrella for repeatable acquisition workflows. First child is subtitles/, with recipe README (executable by Claude Code), CHANGELOG, per-show run logs, and a tested helper at lib/sub-fetch.sh. Run on American Dad: S01 (7 eps) passed, S02-S04 (51 eps) broke. Library uses Hulu/DSP season ordering; OpenSubtitles indexes by Fox airing order; plugin queries by (parent_imdb_id, season, episode) so library S02E01 returns 0 hits. v2 design = direct OpenSubtitles REST with per-episode imdb_id lookup; pending API-key registration.

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.mdv2 design choice between direct OS REST (recommended) and library re-numbering.
Followups
- visually verify a sample S01 sub plays in sync (one ep per recipe rule §6)
- decide v2 path (REST vs renumber)
- sub S02–S04 (51 eps) once v2 lands
