Glossary

Source — Plugin that reads canonical media observations. Plex is the active source.

Target — Plugin that maps, reads, writes, and reverts destination-provider state.

Provider instance — One configured source server/account or target account.

Profile — One source-to-target relationship with scope, features, baseline, and state.

Feature — Versioned synchronization behavior with capability requirements and options.

Capability — Public SDK declaration of an observation or operation supported by a plugin.

Full reconciliation — Complete source-scope and relevant target-state comparison.

Incremental delta — Fingerprint-based run that processes only relevant source/feature changes.

Baseline — State established only by a successful live full run and required for incremental/webhook execution.

Canonical item — JSON-safe provider-neutral source observation.

Target mapping — Source-to-target reference plus stable segment and mapping provenance.

AniBridge — Mapping catalog used to split/map Plex anime into one or more AniList entries.

Operation — Persisted deterministic proposal with safe before/after values and opaque apply/revert payloads.

Fingerprint — Stable digest used to skip unchanged incremental feature or collection work.

Unmatched — Eligible source item for which the target plugin returned no trusted mapping.

Ignore — Profile-scoped instruction to skip an item before target I/O; managed lists also support list-specific ignores.

Managed list binding — Database-owned relationship between one source collection and one target custom list.

Dry-run — Planned and persisted operations without target writes or confirmed feature state.

Apply — Execute an unapplied persisted operation.

Revert — Restore the provider state captured before a confirmed operation, when safely supported.

Hosted auth gateway — Short-lived OAuth handoff and supported refresh service at auth.brokerr.net.

Opaque payload — Provider-specific apply/revert data stored by core but interpreted only by the target runtime.
