4grayandClaude Opus 5 b02d79805b fix(tmdb): a new series no longer matches its older, better-known namesake (#1648)
Metadata is looked up in the app's own language, so an unrelated older foreign
series can come back under exactly the same localized name as a recent
local-language one. `pickConfidentMatch` admitted the older row through the
series "premiered earlier" tolerance — portals report the running season's
year while TMDB reports the premiere — and then let `pickMostPopular` decide
across every admitted candidate, discarding the year evidence that had just
admitted them. The better-known show won on votes, and the newer series
rendered its poster, cast, genres and rating.

Rank admitted candidates by year evidence first (`yearEvidenceTier`: the
provider's exact year, then a year off by one, then the series tolerance) and
let popularity break ties only inside the strongest tier any candidate
reached. The tolerance stays — three of eight real lookups from one install
depend on it — but it is a last resort, not an equal. Measured over 400
Cyrillic series titles sampled from a real catalog, 20 normalized keys had a
same-titled older series and 16 of those were the more popular row.

The mirror case is accepted knowingly: a long-running show whose stated
season year happens to BE another same-titled show's premiere year now
resolves to the newer show. Only the older show's season air dates could
separate the two and a search response does not carry them, while that shape
needs three coincidences at once against one that needs none.

Search cache keys move to `|v4` with a matching startup cleanup, because a
positive row naming the wrong show stays fresh for 30 days.

Merged with `Build on windows x64` red: the checked-in Windows Embedded MPV
runtime pin points at an upstream release whose retention expired, so that
job fails repository-wide on a cold cache. Unrelated to this change; tracked
separately.
