Subject: [PATCH] Video auto-wishlist: carry episode synopsis + still into the
 wishlist
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Auto-added airing episodes came in metadata-empty (no synopsis, no still) — the
handler only passed season/episode/title/air_date, dropping the overview the
calendar already returns and never fetching the still URL (calendar_upcoming
only returned a has_still flag, not the URL). Now calendar_upcoming also returns
e.still_url, and the handler carries overview + still_url through. The wishlist
renders the (Plex-relative) still via the same pimg() proxy as the show poster,
so it resolves. Idempotent upsert backfills the already-added empty rows on the
next run.
