The table describes default desired states. Protection rules, disabled media/rule controls, note flags, custom TMDB list assignments, rewatch detection, and provider limitations can change the final plan.
Dropped is not automatically inferred merely because an item leaves source
Continue Watching. Anime targets use Paused/On Hold for that condition; TMDB uses
the combined Paused / Dropped custom list selected by the administrator.
