Providers are discovered from plugin folders. Their manifest declares media, capabilities, authentication modes, resources, settings, actions, and features. Generic source/target pages render those schemas without hard-coded frontend provider registries.

Provider settings define a connection. Profile settings define synchronization policy. For example, AniList score format and HTTP pacing belong to the target instance, while Protect target progress and rating priority belong to a profile.

All targets implement map, batch read, batch write, and revert contracts. The core stores normalized operations and opaque payloads; provider-specific request construction and post-timeout reconciliation stay inside the target runtime.

Ratings use a canonical Decimal from 0 to 1. Each target defines its exact minimum, maximum, step, and ROUND_HALF_UP conversion.

Target HTTP policy is configurable per instance. Provider defaults are documented on each page and bulk Apply/Revert uses the same shared pacing state.

A plugin can add a namespaced feature without changing the core. Current examples are Plex recorded-history enrichment and Letterboxd diary import. AniList exposes specialized list-status and rewatch behavior while still using standard feature phases.
