+## [2026-05-20] — Release parser v2 (EASY + SHITTY)
+
 ### Added
 
+- **Release parser v2 — EASY path live** (`alfred/domain/release/parser/`):
+  new annotate-based pipeline (tokenize → annotate → assemble) drives
+  releases from known groups. Exposes `Token` (frozen VO with `index` +
+  `role` + `extra`), `TokenRole` enum (structural/technical/meta families),
+  and `GroupSchema` / `SchemaChunk` value objects.
+  - `pipeline.tokenize`: string-ops separator split (no regex), strips
+    a `[site.tag]` prefix/suffix first.
+  - `pipeline.annotate`: detects the trailing group right-to-left
+    (priority to `codec-GROUP` shape, fallback to any non-source dashed
+    token), looks up its `GroupSchema`, then walks tokens and schema
+    chunks in lockstep — optional chunks that don't match are skipped,
+    mandatory mismatches abort EASY and return `None` so the caller can
+    fall back to SHITTY.
+  - `pipeline.assemble`: folds annotated tokens into a
+    `ParsedRelease`-compatible dict.
+  - `parse_release` (in `release.services`) tries the v2 EASY path first
+    and falls through to the legacy SHITTY heuristic on `None`. Legacy
+    SHITTY/PATH OF PAIN behavior is unchanged.
+  - Knowledge: `alfred/knowledge/release/release_groups/{kontrast,elite,
+    rarbg}.yaml` declare the canonical chunk order per group, loaded via
+    new `ReleaseKnowledge.group_schema(name)` port method.
+  - Tests in `tests/domain/release/test_parser_v2_{scaffolding,easy}.py`
+    cover token VOs, site-tag stripping, group detection, schema-driven
+    annotation (movie, TV episode, season pack with optional source),
+    and field assembly.
+
+- **Release parser v2 — enricher pass** completes the EASY pipeline.
+  The structural schema walk now tolerates non-positional tokens
+  between chunks (instead of aborting on leftover tokens), and a second
+  pass tags them with audio / video-meta / edition / language roles.
+  Multi-token sequences from `audio.yaml`, `video.yaml`, `editions.yaml`
+  (e.g. `DTS.HD.MA`, `DV.HDR10`, `TrueHD.Atmos`, `DIRECTORS.CUT`) are
+  matched before single tokens. Channel layouts like `5.1` and `7.1`
+  (split into two tokens by the `.` separator) are detected as
+  consecutive pairs. Sequence members carry an `extra["sequence_member"]`
+  marker so `assemble` extracts the canonical value only from the
+  primary token. KONTRAST releases with audio / HDR / edition / language
+  metadata now produce a fully populated `ParsedRelease`.
+
+- **Streaming distributor as a separate dimension** from encoding source.
+  New `alfred/knowledge/release/distributors.yaml` (NF, AMZN, DSNP, HMAX,
+  ATVP, HULU, PCOK, PMTP, CR) feeds a new `ReleaseKnowledge.distributors`
+  port field, a `TokenRole.DISTRIBUTOR` annotation, and a
+  `ParsedRelease.distributor` field. `WEB-DL` stays the source; the
+  platform that produced the release is now recorded distinctly. The
+  five entries (NF, AMZN, DSNP, HMAX, ATVP) were correspondingly removed
+  from `sources.yaml`.
+
 - **Real-world release fixtures** under `tests/fixtures/releases/{easy,shitty,path_of_pain}/`,
   each documenting an expected `ParsedRelease` plus the future `routing`
   (library / torrents / seed_hardlinks) for the upcoming `organize_media`
@@ -54,6 +106,22 @@ callers).
 
 ### Changed
 
+- **Release parser v2 — SHITTY simplified to dict-driven tagging**.
+  The legacy ~480-line heuristic block in `release/services.py` is gone;
+  `pipeline._annotate_shitty` does a single pass that looks each token
+  up in the kb buckets (resolutions / sources / codecs / distributors /
+  year / `SxxExx`) with first-match-wins semantics, and the leftmost
+  contiguous UNKNOWN run becomes the title. `annotate()` no longer
+  returns `None` — SHITTY is the always-on fallback when no group schema
+  matches. `services.py` shrunk from ~525 to ~85 lines. Four fixtures
+  (`deutschland_franchise_box`, `sleaford_yt_slug`,
+  `super_mario_bilingual`, `predator_space_separators` — the last one
+  moved from `shitty/` → `path_of_pain/`) are now marked
+  `pytest.mark.xfail(strict=False)` documenting PoP-grade pathologies
+  that SHITTY intentionally won't handle. `ReleaseFixture` grows an
+  `xfail_reason` field; the parametrized suite wires the xfail mark
+  automatically.
+
 - **`parse_release` tokenizer is now data-driven**: it splits on any character
   listed in `separators.yaml` (regex character class) instead of `name.split(".")`.
   This makes YTS-style releases (`The Father (2020) [1080p] [WEBRip] [5.1] [YTS.MX]`),

+"""Release parser v2 — annotate-based pipeline.
+
+This package is the future home of ``parse_release``. It restructures the
+parsing logic around a **tokenize → annotate → assemble** pipeline:
+
+1. **tokenize**: split the release name into atomic tokens.
+2. **annotate**: walk tokens left-to-right, assigning each one a
+   :class:`TokenRole` (TITLE, YEAR, SEASON, RESOLUTION, …) using the
+   injected :class:`~alfred.domain.release.ports.knowledge.ReleaseKnowledge`.
+3. **assemble**: fold the annotated tokens into a :class:`ParsedRelease`.
+
+The pipeline has three internal paths driven by the detected release group:
+
+- **EASY**: known group (KONTRAST, RARBG, …) with a schema-driven layout
+  declared in ``knowledge/release/release_groups/<group>.yaml``.
+- **SHITTY**: unknown group, best-effort matching against the global
+  knowledge sets, with a 0-100 confidence score.
+- **PATH OF PAIN**: score below threshold OR critical chunks missing —
+  signaled to the caller, who decides whether to involve the LLM/user.
+
+Today the package exposes scaffolding only (token VOs and a thin pipeline
+stub). The legacy ``parse_release`` in ``release.services`` keeps serving
+production until each piece of the v2 pipeline is wired in.

+Three stages:
+
+1. :func:`tokenize` — release name → ``list[Token]`` (all UNKNOWN), plus
+   a separately-returned site tag (e.g. ``[YTS.MX]``) that is never
+   tokenized.
+2. :func:`annotate` — promote each token's :class:`TokenRole` using the
+   injected knowledge base. Two sub-passes:
+
+     a. **Structural** (schema-driven, EASY only). Detects the group at

+        two structural chunks, any number of unmatched tokens may

+        audio / video-meta / edition / language roles. Multi-token
+        sequences (``DTS.HD.MA``, ``DV.HDR10``, ``DIRECTORS.CUT``) are
