docs(media): the TV library's own relayout, with the evidence chain it believes

One page owns relayout: the census commands, the order the planner believes
things in, the two refusals a dry run on the real library proved necessary, the
apply and rollback path, and the standing wart that a provider name can itself
be scene junk ("Black Clover 001", 92 episodes) — renaming that is Jellyfin's
job, not the mover's.

+## The TV library's own relayout
+
+`/mnt/entropy/TVShows` is scene packs rather than a library, and Jellyfin has
+already matched and numbered most of it. `scripts/media-shows.py` re-files that
+library into the same shape, and it never guesses: every series name and every
+episode number it writes traces to an authority, and what has none is parked for
+a human to read.
+
+```bash
+# 1. The authority: Jellyfin's own matched rows (the DB opens read-only).
+python3 scripts/media-census.py jellyfin --root /mnt/entropy/TVShows \
+    --out /tmp/tv_titles.tsv
+# 2. What is on disk (stat only), and the runtimes the film arm needs.
+python3 scripts/media-census.py enumerate --root /mnt/entropy/TVShows \
+    --out /tmp/tv_enum.tsv
+python3 scripts/media-census.py probe --root /mnt/entropy/TVShows \
+    --enum /tmp/tv_enum.tsv --jobs 6 --out /tmp/tv_probed.tsv
+#    The probe is the slow step: ffprobe reads both ends of every file.
+# 3. The plan. --tmdb needs TMDB_API_KEY; without it a series no provider dated
+#    is simply named without a year, which Jellyfin accepts.

+    --titles /tmp/tv_titles.tsv --probed /tmp/tv_probed.tsv \

+Evidence, strongest first — the order the planner believes things:
+
+- the **episode marker the file's own name states** (`S01E02-E03`, `1x04`);
+- the **`Season NN` folder it sits in and the number its name leads with inside
+  it**: `Season 19/01 Charles Barkley, Nirvana.avi` is S19E01;
+- the **provider row**: identity (the series name and its year), and the
+  numbering of a file whose own name says nothing;
+- a **bonus folder** anywhere above the file, or Jellyfin's `ExtraType` → the
+  series' canonical extra folder;
+- a runtime over `SHORT_MAX` makes it film-shaped, and it leaves for `--movies`
+  only when a movie provider names it — otherwise it parks.
+
+Two refusals carry the design, and a dry run on the real library found both:
+
+- **Folders resolve a series; they never invent one.** A folder's words may
+  resolve a file to a series a provider has already named — `(CBB) Tengen Toppa
+  Gurren Lagann - The Complete Series (BD 1080p)` names the registered *Tengen
+  Toppa Gurren Lagann* — but a bonus subfolder is not a show. An early run made
+  `…/03. Extra/01. NCOP/NCOP 01.mkv` into a root series called `01 NCOP`.
+- **A scraped row does not outrank the filesystem.** Jellyfin numbers
+  multi-season packs badly: every file under `SNL 16-20/Season 16..19` carries
+  season 16 episode 20, and one Gundam row says season 2004. The folder, then
+  the file's own leading number, win; a row that still insists on season 1989
+  parks its file instead of creating `Season 1989`.
+
+The provider's name is copied verbatim, warts included: Jellyfin carries a Series
+named `Black Clover 001` (92 episodes, no year) because it matched a pack off a
+filename. Renaming a show is Jellyfin's work — a folder rename never touches its
+provider ids — so the mover keeps the name it is handed and strips only the pack
+index a release leads with (`4a. Seed DESTINY` → `Seed DESTINY`).
