TestFlight build 12 — 2026-07-12

What to Test:
Season requests: Search for a partly owned show, open Request More, and request one season or all missing seasons. Verify pending, processing, failed, retry, and completed states, including profile-specific Seerr users.

Series browsing: Open long-running shows from series, season, and episode cards. The current season should already be visible, focus should not cause a second scroll, and episode/season navigation should stay centered and stable.

Onboarding: Test the redesigned animated setup flow for Plex and Jellyfin, including Plex QR/manual sign-in, Jellyfin Quick Connect, Back navigation, focus movement, and library selection.

SMB and local shares: Test scanning mixed movie/TV folders, version grouping, season deduplication, watch state, sidecar subtitles, search, sorting, and browsing responsiveness.

Playback: Test Dolby Vision/HDR playback and episode handoffs, Up Next, subtitle search/download/hot-load, and the redesigned Playback Info display.

Appearance and profiles: Test display sizes, card/navigation styles, Pure Black, watched indicators, and per-profile server/library toggles. Detail-page Cast should remain a consistent size at every display density.

General stability: Exercise Home heroes, artwork loading, context menus, rapid focus movement, and repeated detail-page navigation.
