refactor(domain): freeze Movie and Episode, switch track collections to tuple

Movie and Episode become @dataclass(frozen=True, eq=False), with
audio_tracks/subtitle_tracks held as tuple[...] instead of list[...].
Identity-based equality is preserved via the existing __eq__/__hash__.
__post_init__ coercion (imdb_id, title, season_number, episode_number)
uses object.__setattr__ to stay compatible with frozen.

The MediaWithTracks mixin contract is updated to tuple accordingly.

Callers projecting enrichment results (probe output, file metadata) now
rebuild via dataclasses.replace(...) — same pattern recently adopted for
ParsedRelease.

Season and TVShow stay mutable for now: freezing the aggregate root
would cascade a full reconstruction on every add_episode, deferred.

 ## [Unreleased]
 
+### Fixed
+
+- **Multi-episode chain (e.g. `S14E09E10E11`) now collapses to a full
+  range.** The parser previously captured `episode=9, episode_end=10`
+  and dropped E11+. It now returns `episode=first, episode_end=last`,
+  with intermediate values implied. Fixture
+  `shitty/archer_multi_episode/` updated from anti-regression-of-bug
+  to anti-regression-of-fix.
+- **Apostrophes in titles no longer push the release through the AI
+  fallback.** `Honey.Don't.2025.2160p.WEBRip.DSNP.DV.HDR.x265-Amen`
+  previously parsed with `parse_path="ai"` and everything UNKNOWN
+  because `'` is in the forbidden-chars list. Apostrophes are now
+  pre-stripped before the well-formed check, so the parse completes
+  normally (`title=Honey.Dont, year=2025, quality=2160p, ...`); only
+  the title text loses its apostrophe. `parse_path` becomes
+  `sanitized` to surface the cleanup. Side win: PoP fixture
+  `the_prodigy_full_chaos/` also moves from total failure to a
+  partially-correct parse (year, source, codec extracted).
+- **Season-range markers (`Sxx-yy`) are now recognized as
+  `tv_complete`.** `Der.Tatortreiniger.S01-06.GERMAN...` previously
+  parsed as `media_type=movie` with `S01-06` glued onto the title.
+  The parser now recognizes the range, sets `season=first`,
+  `media_type=tv_complete`, and removes the marker from the title.
+  `is_season_pack` flips to `true`.
+- **Pure-punctuation TITLE tokens are dropped at assembly.** Releases
+  with surrounding ` - ` separators (`Vinyl - 1x01 - FHD`) previously
+  produced `title="Vinyl.-"`. Such tokens (a stray dash, a wide pipe
+  `｜`, …) carry no title content and are now filtered out. Side
+  effect: PoP fixture `khruangbin_yt_wide_pipe/` also benefits — the
+  YouTube wide-pipe no longer leaks into the title.
+
 ### Added
 
+- **Fullwidth vertical bar `｜` (U+FF5C) is now a recognized release-name
+  token separator.** Added to `alfred/knowledge/release/separators.yaml`
+  so CJK release names (and the occasional decorative YouTube-style use)
+  tokenize cleanly instead of leaving the wide pipe glued onto an
+  adjacent token. The tokenizer in
+  `alfred/domain/release/parser/pipeline.py` already iterates the
+  separator list as plain strings (no regex), so a multi-byte UTF-8
+  separator works without any code change.
+
+- **`InspectedResult.recommended_action` property** — derived hint that
+  collapses the orchestrator's go / wait / skip decision into a single
+  value (``"process"`` / ``"ask_user"`` / ``"skip"``). Centralizes the
+  exclusion logic that was previously dispersed across road /
+  media_type / main_video checks at each call site. Ordering is part of
+  the contract: ``skip`` (no main video, or media_type == ``"other"``)
+  wins over ``ask_user`` (media_type == ``"unknown"`` or road ==
+  ``"path_of_pain"``) which wins over ``process``. Surfaced through the
+  ``analyze_release`` tool so the LLM can route on it directly.
+  6 new tests in ``tests/application/test_inspect.py`` cover the four
+  branches and the precedence rules.
+- **`LanguageRepository` port** in `alfred.domain.shared.ports`. Structural
+  Protocol covering `from_iso`, `from_any`, `all`, `__contains__`, `__len__`
+  — the surface previously coupled to the concrete `LanguageRegistry`.
+  Mirrors the `MediaProber` / `FilesystemScanner` pattern: domain code
+  depends on the Protocol, infrastructure provides the YAML-backed
+  adapter. Tests in `tests/infrastructure/test_language_registry.py`.
+
+### Changed
+
+- **`Movie` and `Episode` are now frozen dataclasses.** Both entities
+  hold their track collections as `tuple[AudioTrack, ...]` and
+  `tuple[SubtitleTrack, ...]` instead of mutable lists, and are
+  `@dataclass(frozen=True, eq=False)` (identity-based equality
+  preserved via `__eq__`/`__hash__`). `__post_init__` coercion uses
+  `object.__setattr__` for the `imdb_id` / `title` /
+  `season_number` / `episode_number` normalizations. To project
+  enrichment results (probe output, file metadata) callers now rebuild
+  via `dataclasses.replace(...)`. Pattern aligned with the recent
+  `ParsedRelease` freeze. `MediaWithTracks` mixin contract updated to
+  `tuple` accordingly. `Season` and `TVShow` remain mutable for now —
+  freezing the aggregate root would cascade a full reconstruction on
+  every `add_episode`, deferred.
+- **`SubtitleCandidate` renamed to `SubtitleScanResult`.** The old name
+  conflated "this might become a placed subtitle" with "this is what a
+  scan pass produced". The class is the output of a scan/identify pass
+  — language/format may still be `None`, confidence reflects how sure
+  the classifier is, and `raw_tokens` holds the filename fragments
+  under analysis. `SubtitleScanResult` says that directly. Pure rename
+  with a refreshed docstring in `alfred/domain/subtitles/entities.py`;
+  no behavior change. Touches the domain entity + `__init__` export,
+  the matcher / identifier / utils services, the manage_subtitles use
+  case, the placer, the metadata store, the shared-media cross-ref
+  comment, and the seven test modules that imported the type.
+
+- **`ParsedRelease` is now frozen; enrichment passes return new
+  instances.** The VO was mutable so `detect_media_type` and
+  `enrich_from_probe` could patch fields in place — a code smell in a
+  value object whose identity *is* its content. `ParsedRelease` is now
+  `@dataclass(frozen=True)`; `languages` is a `tuple[str, ...]`
+  instead of a `list[str]`. `enrich_from_probe` returns a new
+  `ParsedRelease` via `dataclasses.replace` (only allocates when at
+  least one field actually changed). `inspect_release` rebinds
+  `parsed` after both `detect_media_type` (wrapped in `MediaTypeToken`
+  to satisfy the strict isinstance check that now also runs on
+  replace) and `enrich_from_probe`. Parser pipeline now packs
+  `languages` as a tuple in the assemble dict. Callers updated:
+  `inspect_release`, `testing/recognize_folders_in_downloads.py`, and
+  the enrichment tests (22 call sites + language assertions switched
+  to tuple literals).
+- **`resolve_destination` use cases take `kb` / `prober` as required
+  params; module-level singletons gone.** The four
+  `resolve_{season,episode,movie,series}_destination` use cases now
+  accept `kb: ReleaseKnowledge` and `prober: MediaProber` as required
+  arguments, matching the shape of `inspect_release`. The module-level
+  `_KB = YamlReleaseKnowledge()` and `_PROBER = FfprobeMediaProber()`
+  singletons that previously lived in
+  `alfred/application/filesystem/resolve_destination.py` are removed —
+  the application layer no longer reaches into infrastructure. The
+  singletons now live at the agent-tools frontier
+  (`alfred/agent/tools/filesystem.py`), where the LLM-facing wrappers
+  instantiate them once and thread them through. `analyze_release` no
+  longer needs the dirty `from ... import _KB` indirection. Tests
+  inject their own stubs by keyword (`prober=_StubProber(...)`) instead
+  of monkeypatching a module attribute.
+- **`ParsePath` enum renamed to `TokenizationRoute`.** The old name
+  collided with `pathlib.Path` in code-reading mental models, and was
+  one letter from `parse_path` (the field that holds the value) — making
+  it harder than it needed to be to spot the type vs the attribute.
+  ``TokenizationRoute`` says what it actually captures (DIRECT /
+  SANITIZED / AI = how the name reached the tokenizer), and the class
+  docstring now spells out the orthogonality with ``Road`` (EASY /
+  SHITTY / PATH_OF_PAIN, which captures parser confidence on
+  ``ParseReport``). The ``parse_path`` field name stays unchanged —
+  string values too — so YAML fixtures, the ``analyze_release`` tool
+  spec, and any external consumer are untouched.
+- **`enrich_from_probe` codec mappings moved to YAML.** The three
+  hard-coded module dicts (`_VIDEO_CODEC_MAP`, `_AUDIO_CODEC_MAP`,
+  `_CHANNEL_MAP`) translating ffprobe output to scene tokens
+  (`hevc → x265`, `eac3 → EAC3`, `8 → "7.1"`, …) now live in
+  `alfred/knowledge/release/probe_mappings.yaml` and are loaded into
+  `ReleaseKnowledge.probe_mappings` (new port field, populated by
+  `YamlReleaseKnowledge`). `enrich_from_probe` gains a third `kb`
+  parameter and reads the maps from there. Aligns with the CLAUDE.md
+  rule that lookup tables of domain knowledge belong in YAML, not in
+  Python — and opens the door to a future "learn new codec" pass.
+  Callers updated: `inspect_release`, `testing/recognize_folders_in_downloads.py`,
+  and all 22 sites in `tests/application/test_enrich_from_probe.py`.
+- **`ParsedRelease.tech_string` is now a derived `@property`**
+  (`alfred/domain/release/value_objects.py`). It computes
+  `quality.source.codec` joined by dots on every access, so it stays in
+  sync with the underlying fields by construction. The stored field is
+  gone from the dataclass, the dict returned by `assemble()` no longer
+  carries the key, `parse_release`'s malformed-name fallback drops the
+  `tech_string=""` kwarg, and `enrich_from_probe` no longer re-derives
+  it after filling `quality`/`source`/`codec`. Closes the
+  parser/enrichment double-source-of-truth that `e79ca46` had to fix
+  reactively. The fixtures runner now injects `tech_string` alongside
+  `is_season_pack` since `asdict()` skips properties.
+- **`RuleScope.level` is now an enum (`RuleScopeLevel`).** The set of
+  valid levels (global, release_group, movie, show, season, episode)
+  was documented only in a docstring comment and validated nowhere.
+  `RuleScopeLevel(str, Enum)` keeps wire compatibility (YAML
+  serialization, `.value` access) while making the closed set explicit
+  to type-checkers and IDEs. `to_dict()` emits `.value` strings so
+  YAML output is unchanged.
+- **`FilePath` VO uses `__post_init__` instead of a hand-rolled
+  `__init__`.** Same public API (accepts `str | Path`), same behavior,
+  but the dataclass-generated `__init__` is no longer bypassed. One
+  less smell in the shared VOs.
+- **`Language` VO is strict by default; `Language.from_raw()` factory
+  for normalization.** The previous `__post_init__` mutated `iso` and
+  `aliases` via `object.__setattr__` on a frozen dataclass — a code
+  smell hiding behind the dataclass facade. Split: the direct
+  constructor now rejects un-normalized input (uppercase iso,
+  whitespace in aliases, etc.), and `Language.from_raw()` handles
+  arbitrary YAML/user input. Only one caller (LanguageRegistry loading
+  the ISO YAML) needed migration.
+- **`ParsedRelease.normalised` renamed to `clean`.** The field name
+  promised "dots instead of spaces" but in practice held
+  `raw - site_tag - apostrophes` — only used by `season_folder_name()`.
+  Renamed and docstring corrected.
+- **`ParsedRelease.media_type` / `parse_path` are strict enums.** The
+  fields were already typed as `MediaTypeToken` / `ParsePath`, but a
+  tolerant `__post_init__` coerced raw strings. With both classes
+  being `(str, Enum)`, the coercion served no purpose. Strict
+  constructor; `.value` no longer passed at call sites; dropped the
+  unused `_VALID_MEDIA_TYPES` / `_VALID_PARSE_PATHS` lookup tables.
+
+### Removed
+
+- **`settings.min_movie_size_bytes`** — orphan Pydantic field +
+  validator. Its only consumer (`MovieService.validate_movie_file`)
+  had been removed during an earlier refactor. The "real movie vs
+  sample" rule now lives in extension-based exclusion
+  (`application/release/supported_media.py`) and PoP. If a size
+  threshold is ever needed, it'll go in a knowledge YAML, not in
+  `settings`.
+
+### Internal
+
+- **Flattened `alfred.domain.shared.media/` package into a single
+  `media.py` module.** The 6-file package (audio, video, subtitle,
+  info, matching, tracks_mixin + `__init__`) collapsed into one ~250
+  LoC module. All 12 import sites continue to resolve unchanged
+  (`from alfred.domain.shared.media import AudioTrack, MediaInfo, …`)
+  since Python treats `media.py` and `media/__init__.py`
+  interchangeably for import paths. Easier to scan when the whole
+  bounded-context fits on one screen.
+- **`SubtitleKnowledgeBase` types `language_registry` against the
+  `LanguageRepository` port** instead of the concrete `LanguageRegistry`
+  class. The default constructor still instantiates the concrete adapter
+  when no repository is injected — behaviour is unchanged for existing
+  callers. Opens the door to in-memory fakes in future tests without
+  loading the full ISO 639 YAML.
+- **Moved `detect_media_type` and `enrich_from_probe` from
+  `alfred.application.filesystem` to `alfred.application.release`**.
+  They are inspection-pipeline helpers — their natural home is next to
+  `inspect_release`, not next to the filesystem use cases. The move
+  also eliminates a circular-import workaround in
+  `resolve_destination.py`: `inspect_release` can now be imported at
+  module top instead of lazily inside `_resolve_parsed`. Public
+  surface is unchanged for callers that imported the helpers from
+  their full module paths (the only call sites — `inspect.py`, two
+  tests, one testing script — were updated in this commit).
+
+### Added
+
+- **`resolve_*_destination` use cases now consume `inspect_release`**.
+  `resolve_episode_destination` and `resolve_movie_destination` reuse
+  their existing `source_file` parameter as the inspection target;
+  `resolve_season_destination` and `resolve_series_destination` gain
+  a new **optional** `source_path` parameter (also threaded through
+  the tool wrappers and YAML specs). When the path exists, ffprobe
+  data fills tokens missing from the release name (e.g. quality) and
+  refreshes `tech_string`, so the destination folder / file names
+  end up more accurate. When the path is missing or absent (back-compat
+  callers), the use cases fall back to parse-only — same behavior as
+  before.
+
+### Fixed
+
+- **`enrich_from_probe` now refreshes `tech_string`** after filling
+  `quality` / `source` / `codec`. Previously the field stayed at its
+  parser-time value, so filename builders saw stale tech tokens even
+  after a successful probe. New `TestTechString` class in
+  `tests/application/test_enrich_from_probe.py` locks the behavior.
+
+### Added
+
+- **`inspect_release` orchestrator + `InspectedResult` VO**
+  (`alfred/application/release/inspect.py`). Single composition of the
+  four inspection layers: `parse_release` → `detect_media_type` (patches
+  `parsed.media_type`) → `find_main_video` (top-level scan) →
+  `prober.probe` + `enrich_from_probe` when a video exists and the
+  refined media type isn't in `{"unknown", "other"}`. Returns a frozen
+  `InspectedResult(parsed, report, source_path, main_video, media_info,
+  probe_used)` that downstream callers consume directly instead of
+  rebuilding the same chain. `kb` and `prober` are injected — no
+  module-level singletons. Never raises.
+
+### Changed
+
+- **`analyze_release` tool now delegates to `inspect_release`** — same
+  output shape, plus two new fields: `confidence` (0–100) and `road`
+  (`"easy"` / `"shitty"` / `"path_of_pain"`) surfaced from the parser's
+  `ParseReport`. The tool spec (`specs/analyze_release.yaml`) documents
+  both fields so the LLM can route releases by confidence.
+
+- **`MediaProber` port now covers full media probing**: added
+  `probe(video) -> MediaInfo | None` alongside the existing
+  `list_subtitle_streams`. `FfprobeMediaProber` (in
+  `alfred/infrastructure/probe/`) implements both methods and is now
+  the single adapter shelling out to `ffprobe`. The standalone
+  `alfred/infrastructure/filesystem/ffprobe.py` module was removed —
+  all callers (tools, testing scripts) instantiate
+  `FfprobeMediaProber` instead. Unblocks the upcoming
+  `inspect_release` orchestrator, which depends on the port.
+
+### Removed
+
+- `alfred/infrastructure/filesystem/ffprobe.py` (folded into the
+  `FfprobeMediaProber` adapter).

+
+## [2026-05-20] — Release parser confidence scoring + exclusion
+
+### Added
+
+- **Pre-pipeline exclusion helpers** (`alfred/application/release/supported_media.py`):
+  `is_supported_video(path, kb)` (extension-only check against
+  `kb.video_extensions`) and `find_main_video(folder, kb)` (top-level
+  scan, lexicographically-first eligible file, returns `None` when no
+  video qualifies; accepts a bare file as folder for single-file
+  releases). No size threshold, no filename heuristics —
+  PATH_OF_PAIN handles the exotic cases. Foundation for the future
+  `inspect_release` orchestrator.
+
+- **Release parser — parse-confidence scoring** (`alfred/domain/release/parser/scoring.py`,
+  `alfred/knowledge/release/scoring.yaml`). `parse_release` now returns
+  `(ParsedRelease, ParseReport)`. The new `ParseReport` frozen VO
+  carries a 0–100 `confidence`, a `road` (`"easy"` / `"shitty"` /
+  `"path_of_pain"`), the residual UNKNOWN tokens, and the missing
+  critical fields. EASY is decided structurally (a group schema
+  matched); SHITTY vs PATH_OF_PAIN is decided by score against a
+  YAML-configurable cutoff (default 60). Weights and penalties also
+  live in `scoring.yaml` — title 30, media_type 20, year 15, season
+  10, episode 5, tech 5 each; penalty 5 per UNKNOWN token capped at
+  -30. `Road` is a new enum, distinct from `ParsePath` (which records
+  the tokenization route, not the confidence tier). `ReleaseKnowledge`
+  port gains a `scoring: dict` field.
+
+### Changed
+
+- **`parse_release` signature** is now `(name, kb) → tuple[ParsedRelease,
+  ParseReport]` instead of returning a bare `ParsedRelease`. Call
+  sites updated in `application/filesystem/resolve_destination.py` and
+  `agent/tools/filesystem.py`. Tests updated accordingly.

+
+## [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}/`,

 ### 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 /

+  - **`ParsedRelease` Option B**: sanitization happens once at parse time
+    and is stored on a new `title_sanitized: str` field. Builder methods
+    (`show_folder_name`, `season_folder_name`, `episode_filename`,
+    `movie_folder_name`, `movie_filename`) are now pure — they accept

+    arguments. Callers at the use-case boundary sanitize TMDB strings

+"""Release inspection orchestrator — the canonical "look at this thing"
+entry point.
+
+``inspect_release`` is the single composition of the four layers we
+care about for a freshly-arrived release:
+
+1. **Parse the name** — :func:`alfred.domain.release.services.parse_release`
+   gives a ``ParsedRelease`` plus a ``ParseReport`` (confidence + road).
+2. **Pick the main video** — :func:`find_main_video` runs a top-level
+   scan over the source path. If nothing qualifies the result still
+   completes; downstream callers decide what to do with a videoless
+   release.
+3. **Refine the media type** — :func:`detect_media_type` uses the
+   on-disk extension mix to override any token-level guess (e.g. a
+   bare ``.iso`` folder becomes ``"other"``). The refined value is
+   patched onto ``parsed`` in place — same convention as
+   ``analyze_release`` had before.
+4. **Probe the video** — the injected :class:`MediaProber` fills in
+   missing technical fields via :func:`enrich_from_probe`. Skipped
+   when there is no main video or when ``media_type`` ended up in
+   ``{"unknown", "other"}`` (the probe would tell us nothing useful).
+
+The return type is :class:`InspectedResult`, a frozen VO that bundles
+everything downstream callers need (``analyze_release`` tool,
+``resolve_destination``, future workflow stages) without forcing them
+to redo the same four calls.
+
+Design notes:
+
+- **Application layer.** This module touches both domain
+  (``parse_release``) and infrastructure (``MediaProber`` port). That
+  is exactly application's job — orchestrate.
+- **Knowledge base is injected.** ``inspect_release`` takes ``kb`` and
+  ``prober`` as parameters; no module-level singletons here. Callers
+  (the tool wrapper, tests) decide what to plug in.
+- **Mutation is contained.** We still mutate ``parsed.media_type`` and
+  let ``enrich_from_probe`` fill its ``None`` fields, because
+  ``ParsedRelease`` is intentionally a mutable dataclass. The outer
+  ``InspectedResult`` is frozen so the *bundle* is immutable from the
+  caller's perspective.
+- **Never raises.** Filesystem / probe errors surface as ``None``
+  fields on the result, never as exceptions — same contract as the
+  underlying adapters.

+"""Annotate-based pipeline.
+
+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
+        the right end, looks up its :class:`GroupSchema`, then matches
+        the schema's chunk sequence against the token stream. Between
+        two structural chunks, any number of unmatched tokens may
+        remain — they are left UNKNOWN for the enricher pass to handle.
+     b. **Enrichers** (non-positional). Walks UNKNOWN tokens and tags
+        audio / video-meta / edition / language roles. Multi-token
+        sequences (``DTS.HD.MA``, ``DV.HDR10``, ``DIRECTORS.CUT``) are
+        matched first, single tokens after.
+
+3. :func:`assemble` — fold annotated tokens into a
+   :class:`~alfred.domain.release.value_objects.ParsedRelease`-compatible
+   dict.
+
+The pipeline is **pure**: no I/O, no TMDB, no probe. All knowledge
+arrives through ``kb: ReleaseKnowledge``.

+``ParsedRelease`` follows Option B of the snapshot-VO design: filesystem
+sanitization is performed once at parse time and stored in
+``title_sanitized``. The builder methods (``show_folder_name``,
