docs(jellyfin): episode stills are out of scope, and the cost that says so
A per-episode RemoteImages query is never cached, so the same campaign that dressed 620 series in an afternoon costs ~11 s per episode for one hit in five. Across 42k episodes that is days of provider traffic to dress a fifth of them, and clients show series and season art regardless. Recorded so nobody runs the pass on a hunch; the door and the resumable log are the same if Frank orders it.
