New Features

Bug Fixes

• Fixed incremental Plex history scan failing silently: The mindate parameter passed to PlexAPI's history() was a string instead of a datetime object, causing 'str' object has no attribute 'timestamp' errors that were silently caught. All 5 history() calls in plex_utils.py now properly convert the string to a datetime before use.
• Fixed watched status not detected for markPlayed() items: Items marked as watched via markPlayed() update lastViewedAt but not updatedAt. The history fallback logic now uses lastViewedAt as the primary fallback timestamp instead of updatedAt.
• Removed 748 lines of triplicate function definitions: Three duplicate definitions each of get_trakt_history_basic, update_trakt, and update_simkl (plus one extra standalone update_simkl) were removed from app.py. The app now correctly uses the imported versions from trakt_utils.py and simkl_utils.py.
• Fixed safety check blocking incremental bidirectional sync: The safety condition that prevents syncing when no items are found now only applies to full syncs, not incremental ones where returning few items is expected behavior.
• Fixed Trakt items missed due to minute-level timestamp truncation: Trakt truncates watched_at to the nearest minute. A 2-minute safety margin is now applied to the start_at filter when fetching incremental Trakt history, preventing recently added items from being skipped.
• Fixed show title substring matching returning wrong show: get_show_from_library() used Plex's sec.get(title) which does substring matching — searching for "Evil" returned "Ash vs. Evil Dead". Now prefers exact title matches and falls back to search with exact-match preference. This affected both Trakt and Simkl sync.
• Removed 232 lines of duplicate Simkl functions from app.py: simkl_request, simkl_search_ids, simkl_movie_key, and get_simkl_history were all redefined locally in app.py, overriding imports from simkl_utils.py. The enhanced get_simkl_history (with /sync/all-items augmentation for completed movies and episodes) was moved to simkl_utils.py and the duplicates removed.
• Fixed Simkl episode sync re-sending episodes every cycle: Plex episode keys are episode-level GUIDs (e.g., "imdb://tt10864014"), while Simkl episode keys from /sync/all-items are show-level tuples (e.g., ("imdb://tt9055008", "S01E03")). The set difference comparison never matched because strings ≠ tuples. Added a secondary lookup by (show_title, episode_code) to correctly detect already-synced episodes in both sync directions.
