v2.11.0

[giuseppe99barchetta]

This release introduces a public API v1, new controls for LLM-based recommendations, and several reliability improvements across discovery, previews, authentication, and cleanup.

---

🔌 Public API & Security

• Added a public API v1 with API-key authentication, Swagger UI at /docs, and OpenAPI JSON/YAML contracts

• Added API-key management from the user profile, including creation, optional expiry dates, last-used information, and revocation

• Added API v1 support for:

  • jobs, previews, and runs;
  • suggestions and suggestion actions;
  • requests;
  • user-visible request statistics;
  • admin-only installation statistics.

• Refined authentication bypass handling to retain an existing authenticated identity

🤖 AI Recommendations

• Recent watches are now treated as neutral viewing context rather than evidence that a user enjoyed a title, and the LLM context now includes media type and genres when available ([REQ] Make AI recommendation context more aware of user preferences #413)
• Plex now keeps each user’s AI recommendation history and results isolated ([REQ] Make AI recommendation context more aware of user preferences #413)
• Added configurable LLM temperature and reasoning effort in Advanced settings. Temperature can be omitted entirely while preserving legacy defaults, and reasoning effort is sent only to supported direct OpenAI GPT-5 and o-series models ([REQ] Allow users to configure LLM temperature and reasoning effort #414)

---

🛠 Fixes

• Dry-run previews now enforce the configured similar content per watched item limit for both Plex and Jellyfin ([BUG] Similar medias per watched seems to not change anything #415)
• TV discovery requests now send only TV-specific date filters to TMDb (Having troubles with job runs not finding media #420)
• Cleanup file deletion now uses the configured Seer API key rather than a selected user cookie, preventing permission failures ([BUG] Cleanup fails #421)

---
